I didn't actually include all of the major releases and I definitely couldn't include all of the limited releases, so there is an "other" option included at the bottom. Vote for up to ten and please feel free to discuss your choices.

Prometheus and The Dark Knight Rises.


I suppose The Avengers and The Bourne Legacy are the runner-ups here, but there's a chance that these two are gonna disappoint. All "Marvel Universe" movies following the first Iron Man sucked. Then again, The Avengers is written and directed by Joss Whedon so I'm willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. And you're certainly taking a chance by doing a Bourne film without Paul Greengrass/Matt Damon.

Don't really care for anything else on the list at this point.

I don't keep up on current movies, but The Dictator looks like it might be good (even though I really don't care much for whats his name....the Ali G dude...normally).  And Batman of course..but it will probably be next year before I see either on Netflix/Roku.

Somehow I managed to miss this before. I voted:

The Hunger Games (reviews won me over)
The Cabin in the Woods (I'm a Joss Whedon fan)
The Dark Knight Rises
The Bourne Legacy
The Expendables 2

Not too familiar with most of the rest besides the retread sequels, but I'm sure some have potential, I'll have to read up on some more.

Oh, The Avengers is also a Joss Whedon work? Then I'll have to add that one.

Having read a bit more about the rest the only other one I can say would definitely qualify is Prometheus, possibly Ted (I have a feeling Seth MacFarlane just won't work well with a live action film), and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter (which just like every other film based on a totally absurd concept is either going to be utterly terrible or campily awesome, the former perhaps more likely.)

TWO adaptations of Snow White? Hollywood really is out of ideas. I guess the new trend is probably going to be "edgy" adaptations of fairy tales aimed at teenage girls who love Twilight.

You're not a Wes Anderson fan (Moonrise Kingdom) ?

The Dictator
MIB3
Prometheus
The Dark Knight Rises

That's pretty much the top four. Though I'll probably be seeing about half of these movies.

Actually no. I tend to like films that rip him off better than this own films.

1) Prometheus
2) Dark Knight Rises

Honestly haven't heard of most of them. I might watch The Avengers and MIB3, but not in theaters.

I don't really 'look forward' to movies.  I see maybe 3 per year in theatres.

I think the two Snow White are a brilliant gimmick. People who see Huntsman previews will be "I wish they would make gentler movies of the classic tales" and then boom MM preview "yeah, like that" and vice-versa.

Eh... Great Gatsby doesn't come out until Christmas and Jeff Who Lives At Home was already out when I made this poll (plus it technically came out in the winter).

Are they really making another Ice Age movie? Why?

The first Ice Age was almost the definition of an okay kids' flick. Why the hell does it get 50 sequels? Is it that profitable?

The only other equivalent is that the only non-great movies Pixar has made are the Cars movies. Why? Because little boys like toy cars. All their real effort went to their other flicks (Brave looks cool)

The films I want to see are:

The Avengers
Brave
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter
The Dictator
The Dark Knight Rises

21/29 voters have picked TDKR as one of their choices. Pretty impressive.

Note that the first one was the first movie I remember seeing in theaters (my mom says the first movie I ever saw in a theater was a re-release of Bambi she took me to when I was 2, but I slept through most of it.)

The obvious difference is that none of the sequels aired in theaters; they were all direct-to-video like a million other sequels to animated movies. The Land Before Time is one of my favorite movies ever.
