Mine is easily Revolutionary Road. Just having Kate Winslet in it would be enough for me, but having it be directed by Mendes sends my meter through the roof. I'm cautiously excited about The Dark Knight, 27 Dresses and The Sex and the City Movie as well.

I can't wait for these two (links may contain spoilers):

1. The X-Files 2 (1013 and 20th Century Fox): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untitled_X-Files_sequel

2. WALL-E (Pixar Animation Studios): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WALL-E

I'm mildly excited about The Dark Knight, but only because Heath Ledger looks like an excellent Joker.

The movie I'm most excited about next year is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Actually, I've never been as excited about any movie like this one, ever.

I've been following the production closely since last May or so, and it really looks like it has shaped up to be something special. It will put the Star Wars prequels to deep shame.

Anaconda put the Star Wars prequels to deep shame! But yeah, those are two of the movies I'm looking forward to most next year. Particularly Dark Knight, because I love Nolan and Bale, and Ledger looks particularly menacing as The Joker. Hopefully they don't fall into the Spiderman 3 trap of thinking more is better. I'm sure they won't.

I just hope Indy is at least good. Would be a shame if the franchise got wrecked in the last installment. I trust Spielberg though.

2008 has more movies i'm looking forward to than there was in 2007.

In sort-of alphabetical order but in no order of preference, here's my list of pant-moisteners...

I, on the otherhand, if you have a chance to look over my list, the first post on this thread haven't found as many movies that I'm really looking forward to this year. As another poster mentioned elsewhere, 2007 has been a very good year for good movies and it will be tough to beat, especially looking over the 2008 movies that are scheduled.

2007 was more about se/threequels. Granted there are a few se/three/quaequels this year but lots of fun original (if you can call the movie industry original any more) movies to look forward to this year!

While it isn't a completely fair comparison between 2007 and 2008 sequels and so forth because it's impossible to determine accurately which of the 2008 sequels will actually get released into theaters, the scheduled number of 2008 sequels number at this point around 26 while around 17 sequels were actually released in 2007. So in terms of possible numbers of sequels 2008 doesn't seem to be looking that much different than 2007.

You got me there! Although for the record I most certainly am not looking forward to Baby Geniuses 3 or Ace ventura 3!!

The above quoted titles are not sequels. Well they are, but they are video games. Except for Ultraviolent, which is nothing to do with Ultraviolet.

Additionally although stuff like Jurassic Park 4 is scheduled for 2008, I'd imagine the chances of it being released this year are slim. I certainly haven't heard any new details on it has anyone else?

Didn't realize there was so many sequels for 2008 though!

Cant wait till Indy 4

Why is 4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days getting so much praise from the critics, it won't even be in limited release in the United States until January 25th? What is it about this movie? Puzzled.

I haven't heard of some of these movies. Nice list. Thanks.

I look forward to seeing Rambo, James Bond, The Mummy (3), Angels and Demons, and Where the Wild Things Are.

I saw the newest rocky movie and thought it was great so I think that the newest Rambo should be kick ass. I really can't wait for the next James Bond movie either because Casino Royal was fantastic (I had low expectations after that absolutely horrible movie Die another Day). I am a gigantic fan of The Mummy so that sould be awesome. Angles and Demons IMO was much better than the Da Vinci Code so that sould be good. I am not sure about where the wild things are but I always like that book.

Indianda jones and In Bruges. Both look liek they were well done from what i can tell.

most awaited sequel for me is saw5.other then that there isnt much expectations.coz i guess i have seen the best movie of 2008.which is 4 months 3 weeks and 2 days

Some of us I guess live in a culturally deprived area.

i've seen Cloverfield, The Bucklist and Jumper. now i'm waiting for Ironman, Kung Fu Panda, Chronicles of Narnia: Price Caspian and Dark Knight.

Dark Knight, Iron Man. But I'm a geek, so that's ok
