Most Anticipated Films

The following is a list of my most anticipated films.  As it goes on, it becomes more of a rough outline of notable or promising upcoming movies, most of which don’t have any previews, reviews, or enough buzz to move it up the list. If a movie isn’t here, I may not know about it yet, so feel free to comment on your most anticipated ones as well.  It will be updated regularly, at least every month, to add or remove films from the list.  Click on the titles to go to their IMDB page to learn more about them and see who is directing and starring in each movie.
