Gone Girl. The book was great.

3

Wow I actually would see a lot of those, and I don’t usually go for movies!

I’ll probably catch a bunch of them when they hit Amazon.

4

Not a single one.

5

I’m also looking forward to The Boxtrolls.

6

Saw The Two Faces of January on a plane in Europe - zzzzzzzzzzz

7

The only one of those I’m even remotely interested in is The Homesman, and that’s mostly just 'cuz it’s a western.

Movies coming out later this year I am interested in: PT Anderson’s adaptation of Inherent Vice, and, maybe, Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of American Sniper.

8

Most of those, I’ve never heard of until now, and the only one I think I’m even likely to see is The Hobbit. Which had better be better than the second one.

9

**Birdman **for sure, it looks fucking incredible and should get Michael Keaton an easy Oscar nod.

Same with Foxcatcher(not on the list to vote for). It should definitely earn Steve Carrel a lot of awards attention. If you’ve seen the trailer, he’s almost unrecognizable playing John du Pont.

10

Going to see Fury, Interstellar and the Hobbit in theaters. Might catch one or two of the others when they make it to on-demand.

11

From Cracked: Four Signs Christopher Nolan’s Next Film Will Be Goddamn Crazy (meaning Interstellar).

Warning: Lots of Spoilers.

12

I think I recognized the names of two of those, maybe three. I’m still working on my Netflix list and movies that came out between 3 and 10 years ago.

13

I marked off three, since I’m sure I’ll NetFlix those eventually. The only one I plan to see in a theater is The Hobbit.

14

Gone Girl and Unbroken for sure.

I would also see Birdman and Wild. Both Michael Keaton and Reese Witherspoon are getting Oscar buzz for their performances in those films.

I will probably also check out Rosewater to see how Jon Stewart does as a director.

15

IMDb says these are coming out in January.

16

The Imitation Game sounds interesting. Alan Turing’s story is more than “Sherlock in the War.”

Might make an effort for the Hobbit film–for the visuals, at least…

17

Before reading the list I thought “Birdman.” A friend if mine did some background acting in it and shared the trailer. I will make an effort to see it in the theater.

There are a few titles listed that I recognize, mostly from series, but am not compelled to see. The rest are mysteries. It makes me a little sad. I love movies, and would like to go to more of them. I used to pay a lot of attention to what was out there, and seeing movies I saw most of the trailers. That is no longer the case.

18

I read the list and thought “The only one I know I won’t see is Gone Girl.” :smiley:

(HATED the characters with a profound hatred.)

19

Of those listed, the only ones I’m interested enough to see are Hobbit III, Horns, and Mocking Jay. I’ve seen trailers for a lot of the others and I’m not very impressed.

Inherent Vice by PT Anderson. Definitely Oscar bait
