I forgot to mention this, but 2008 is the weakest slate from my point of view since 05.

And 05 was a disaster.

I thought 05 was great, just my thought though.

Right now, all I care about is The Dark Knight.

Maybe Wal-E and Horton, but other than that, nothing tickles my fancy as of yet.

Too many zzzzzzzzzz after a pretty sweet Holiday season with No Country For Old Men and There Will Be Blood.

That is almost exactly what I would have posted. So as above but add BENJMIN BUTTON and BODY OF LIES.

I agree with Michael its not a very good slate at all. Hopefully there will be some decent year enders like those that saved 2005 and 2006.

Okay, is that really the title? Cause that is fucking hilarious.

I really have no idea what movies I want to see this year, except for a handful of obvious ones. Most of the movies I end up really wanting to see I don't know much about except maybe a month or two before they open.

I am very uneducated about most of what's coming out. I just don't have interest in movies anymore. I'll probably only see a handful.

1. Indiana Jones IV
2. Iron-Man
3. Incredible Hulk
4. The Dark Knight
5. James Bond
6. Harry Potter 6 (I still haven't seen 5, but I'll have all the books read by the time this comes out)
7. The Day the Earth Stood Still
8. Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D (it's supposed to be out this year. I'm reading the book, and this is supposed to showcase some new 3D techniques.)

That's all that I "must" see.

You Don't Mess with the Zohan, Get Smart, Sex and the City, and Speed racer are things that I can wait for. The top 5 are my only guarantees to see.
