[Gonzo]

I will probably use your list because you seem to have good taste.

[Champion of Europa]

Most of the stuff on Triple A's list are things I've been looking forward to.

I will also add:

Watchmen (I'm a comic book nerd)
RockNRolla (I love Guy Ritchie)
The Soloist (Because I'll watch anything Robert Downey Jr. does)
Appaloosa (Viggo Mortensen and Ed Harris in a western, co-written by Ed Harris, who is amazing)
What Just Happened? (Robert De Niro in a movie about Hollywood)
The Brothers Bloom (Adrien Brody and Mark Ruffalo as con-men in a movie directed by the director of Brick)
Pride and Glory (Ed Norton and Colin Farrel as brother cops)
Milk (Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, and James Franco in a Gus Van Sant movie about the first openly gay politician)
Frost/Nixon (I normally hate Ron Howard movies, but this looks kinda cool to me. And I love Sam Rockwell)
The Spirit (I'm a comic book nerd and this looks over the top and fun)

[Triple A]

Oh yeah, shit, Milk was also on my list. Forgot to put it down though. :mad:

Haven't even heard of most of the others you listed. I will check them out.

[PapaGeorgio]

Pretty much everything ya'll mentioned plus:

The Boy In The Striped Pajamas.

[Boondock Saint]

I concur with these lists.

[Big Fat Mike]

CANT WAIT FOR THE ROAD.

Read the book, trips.

[Champion of Europa]

I would like to add that the Miracle at St. Anna poster has a prominent place in my room.

[Triple A]

Also I just saw Vicki Cristina Barcelona (Woody Allen movie with Scarlett Johansson, Penelope Cruz) and it was extremely good.

I am gonna watch those trailers in a lil bitttttt CoE.

New York gets all the awesome movies I wanna see. I wanted to see VCB, but I'm pretty sure it's not even playing in my state. Fuckin' Indiana.

I dunno how many of those will be up your alley, but if I get you interested in at least one of them, mission accomplished.

[Indifferent Clox]

OMG. I hate the fact that I will be spending so much time/ money at the movie theaters now. I knew a few of these but didn't know they were coming out so soon.:rant:

[Triple A]

I got this card from my cable company that lets me go to the movies for free every Tuesday, and it is incredible. Any other day is $6 which is also not bad. I will put this to good use.

I want that :'(

[Indifferent Clox]

I have a thing called "maceinthefaceanddiveintoatheater" that lets me do that any day of the week so ha.

[Jeritron]

worst joke I've ever heard.

I'm looking forward to most of that, and Watchmen, and Inglorious Bastards.
Funny People is gonna be immense as well.

[mitch_h]

I just bought Toronto Film Festival tickets so I will be seeing Che, The Wrestler, and hopefully Synecdoche, New York... so looking forward to those.

Some other films that haven't been mentioned.

Ashes of Time Redux
Achilles and the Tortoise
Happy-Go-Lucky
Me and Orson Welles

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Funny People is going to be absurd. Take all the Apatow people and throw in Adam Sandler and Jason Schwartzman. That could be immense or it could be awful. I'm too nervous it could fail.

inglorious bastards will be amazing

I see where you're coming from except one thing. Written and Directed by Judd Apatow. He produces or oversees a lot of projects, some good, some not so good. But the ones he puts his fingerprints on directly are some of the most brilliant films of recent years, let alone comedies.
