    I would like to see Guillermo del Toro's take on Hellboy- I enjoy the comic so much, and loved del Toro's film 'Cronos'.

    I would rather dive head first into a pool of luke warm cat vomit than watch another Rocky film. What kind of sport is it meant to be, battling zimmer frames? Sanatogen throwing? Pointless.

    I'm looking forward to the historical epics, and would quite happily watch Colin Farrell canoodle with Jared Leto, except they'll probably have big(gish) hair, which is a complete turn off.

    Anything from the creators of 'Independence Day' should be tarred, feathered, burnt at a stake, cut down whilst still alive, ritually disembowelled and garotted.

    Similarly Jenny from the Bland and Ben Affect-less.

    Coen Brothers a big yes, I've been an avid fan since 'Blood Simple'.

    M Night Shyamalan better do something better than the airline puke bag that was 'Signs'. I couldn't get to the exit sign quickly enough after that mistake- worst reaction to a film since 'Stardust Memories' or 'Braveheart'.

    Not interested in Gibson's homage to J.C. Holy Roller, in the original Akkadian. Gibson speak with forked tongue.

    A film about Garfield. Marginally less interesting than a film about used cat litter.

    Kill Bill Vol.2 = No Thrill No. 2.

    Perhaps it will be less sprawling and ludicrous than No. 1, but as its still Tarantino, I doubt it. Only director I know who seems to think that visual Tourette's and attention deficit disorder are positive attributes.

      It is Obscene that Hellboy failed to be in the poll.

        Well, if they're going for historical accuracy, I'd think they'd have to have shaved heads, since Alexander decreed his men should do so for battle.

          I most look forward to Brothers Grimm and Ladykillers 'cuz I love everything done by the Coens brothers and Terry Gilliam.

                How about Garfield? Sure it looks like it will be roughly the same quality as "Cat in the Hat", but it may feature one of the great cartoon characters of our time, Nermal, the cutest cat in the world.

                      The one blessing of the Garfield movie may be that his creator, Jim Davis, is still very much alive and will no doubt prevent a travesty a la Cat in the Hat for his character.

                      The bad news is that Garfield is hideously unfunny even in the hands of said creator...

                        I dunno, it's kinda funny. Haven't you ever seen the one where Garfield makes poor, dim-witted Odie fall off the kitchen table? Or where he makes that snappy remark to Jon?

                          My 2004 looking forward to's are:

                          Spider-man 2, just for the sake of it.
                          And a few you missed on your poll,
                          the sequel to Pitch Black: Chronicles of Riddick, to see how they messed that up. I, Robot, to see how they messed up another Asimov.
                          I'd be interested in seeing Gwen Stefani in a flick, but I don't know if that'll make me go see Aviator.
                          The Greeks sound interesting.

                              Indeed, and it does sound promising.

                                Re: Which 2004 Movies are you most looking forward to?

                                Spider-Man 2

                                If I see it it will be because my girlfriend couldn't find anything else at the video store, just like the first one.

                                Alien vs. Predator

                                0 + 0 = 0

                                The Village

                                Perhaps on video.

                                Shrek 2

                                I didn't see this one, but I've been really disappointed with every big family type animated feature after Alladin including Finding Nemo. I'll wait until my nephew or niece wants to rent it.

                                Jersey Girl

                                Once bitten, twice shy. Sorry Kevin but I'm waiting for astounding word of mouth before I waste my time again. J-Lo is the latest and lowest blow.

                                Troy
                                Obviously an interesting subject, and Brad Pitt is a very good actor. I hope the script doesn't suck.

                                Kill Bill Vol. 2
                                I didn't see the first one, and got no positive word of moutrh from people I trust on it yet. Until I see the first one it's like the second one doesn't even exist.

                                The Incredibles

                                See too much animated crap above.

                                Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

                                That sounds like total crap, even if the screenplay is interesting. I like some of these actors, but none of them can carry Edward Norton's jock AFAIC.

                                The Ladykillers

                                I'm there, even if it sucks I'll enjoy a few of the jokes.

                                The Passion of Christ

                                Only if it's showing while my dad is visiting and I get severely outmaneuvered by the old man.

                                Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabann

                                These were ok, and the departure of Christopher Columbus cannot be seen as anything other than a great improvement.

                                Garfield

                                I have hated this fat cat, his plagerizer .. er creator and his stupid fat fans since the early 1980s. The only reason I'd attend is to use a flamethrower on the audience.

                                Club Dread

                                That looked too juvenile for my tastes.

                                The Punisher

                                Oh boy, another comic book movie. And they've all been so good too!

                                The Day After Tomorrow

                                See Molly's comments, or my Garfield preview above.

                                J. M. Barrie's Neverland

                                Depp is interesting enough to usually warrant seeing a film that you might not otherwise go for.

                                The Spongebob Squarepants Movie
                                Never seen the show. See crappy animation 1 & 2 above.

                                Alexander

                                Well, I do greatly admire Val Kilmer as an actor, plus it's frikkin' Alexander man!

                                The Aviator

                                I like Cate Blanchett, but not enough to be subjected to DiCapprio or to put another penny into Alec Baldwin's Canadian escape fund.

                                Rocky VI

                                I saw the first one at the theatre in (IIRC) 1976. It wasn't my idea and it wasn't very good. The sequels (what I saw in tiny pieces from trailers and channel surfing) looked a good deal worse. Not in a million years.

                                The Brothers Grimm
                                Dark fantasy by Terry Gilliam about the famous fable writers.

                                I always see his (Gilliam's) films. They rock on a number of levels.
                                He's got the Midas touch.
