Ok, let me say this right up front READ THIS BEFORE READING THE LIST!!! This is my list of the films I’m geeking out about the most for 2007. This is NOT my list of what I think are going to be the best films of the year. It’s just what I’m excited about seeing. Remember, I’m a geek on the internet all day… so take my list (and anyone’s list) with a grain of salt. So, here are the 10 films I’m most excited about seeing in 2007:
1) Transformers (I’m masturbating as I type that)
2) 300 – Good god how good does this movie look!!!
3) Spider-Man 3 – Both previous ones have been fun rides, why not this one too!
4) Pirates of the Caribbean 3 – 2 was really overrated, but still fun. Look for it to finish strong.
5) The Simpsons Movie – Say all you want about the quality of the show over the last few seasons… give the best writers 2 full years to come up with ONE 90 minute episode… we’ll have GOLD.
6) Hot Fuzz – From the guys who gave us Shaun of the Dead, how can it not be a winner?
7) Grindhouse – Some of the best trailers in history
8) Smokin’ Aces – Could this be Ben Affleck’s return to glory?
9) 30 Days of Night – Not sure why I’m so pumped to see this, but I am.
10) The Number 23 – Really interested to see how this one turns out.
So that’s my list for 2007 folks. Now keep in mind… a year ago today I put up a post about my “5 Most Anticipated Films of 2006“. And NONE of them ended up on my top 10 films of the year list. My anticipated for 2006 list was:
5) Lady In the Water – ended up being my #1 worst film of 2006)
4) Miami Vice – I liked it ok, but no one loved it
3) Cars – Really really liked this one… but it didn’t make my top 10
2) Pirates 2 – Yeah I enjoyed it, but was expecting much much much more.
1) Superman Returns – Had it’s weaknesses no doubt, but still a really good movie. Just not in my top 10.
I wonder how the movies on my 2007 list will turn out.
So what does YOUR anticipation list of 2007 look like?
