It looks like some doozies are coming out. I have a longer list than usual:

Return of the King - duh!
Mona Lisa Smile- so it looks like the girl's version of Dead Poet's Society. I still want to see it!
Big Fish - I'm an Ewan fan and this one just looks too bizarre to pass up.
Girl With the Pearl Earring - I love the promo poster for this! And I love Colin Firth.
Something's Gotta Give - heard it was hilarious.
Paycheck - yeah, so I'm not an Affleck fan, but it looks like it might be a good movie.

Other movies that I wanted to see but probably won't: The Missing and Cold Mountain.
Did I miss any good ones?

I'm so poor this year that I think I'm going to have to wait until most of them come to the dollar theater. [Frown]

Luckily, I'll get to go to ROTK with my family over break, but it'll probably be the only one.

But I do really want to see Mona Lisa Smile! Actually, I agree with you on all the movies you mentioned that I had heard of. [Smile]

RotK!!! RotK!!! And I'm jonesing to see The Last Samurai. But that's about it until next year.

Troy, Last Samurai, The Missing was good, ROTK ROTK ROTK ROTK, Big Fish, think those are the only really good ones.

ROTK

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (damn you Mirimax)

Paycheck (Philip K. Dick, 'nuff said)

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

I need to add Lost in Translation because I still haven't seen it. [Frown]

So that's on my list too.

It's The House of Sand and Fog, kwsni. It looks amazing.

Master and Commander was fantastic. If it wasn't for RotK, this would be my Oscar pick. I'm going to see it again.

I'm very interested to see Monster, too.

You aLL need to see In America if it comes anywhere near you. IMHO, that's the film Return of the King is gonna have to beat come Oscar Time. And it's got the best performances by child actors I've seen in a LONG time (and the girls are played by real life sisters!).

As for what I'm dying to see?

-ROTK
-Last Samurai
-Big Fish
-Somethings Gotta Give
-Kill Bill, vol 2

Plus, I'm actually very interested in seeing THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT.

And isn't Troy coming out in the summer? If we're counting Summer Flicks, then you have to count HP3 in there!

Oooo. I gots to see Kill Bill V.2... (drools)

I've heard of In America and I heard it was a HUGE oscar contender. Was it only a limited release? I haven't seen it around here at all!
