Those of you who have the good taste to read my blog post regularly (no matter how irregular that might be), know that I produce a top 10 films of the year post every year. I've decided to do another one listing the top 20 films of the coming year, that I am most looking forward to. It was going to be a top 10 but, there are just so many. At the end of the year or start of the next one, we can then compare and see how many made the top 10 list.
The films in alphabetical order are:
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice [imdb] [trailer]
It's Batman taking on Superman, with the first big screen appearance of Wonder Woman (if you discount the Lego Movie). Enough said
Captain America: Civil War [imdb] [trailer]
Based on the Marvel Crossover event, it will be interesting to see how the MCU Captain America and Iron Man deal with the conflict. Also should include a first look at Tom Holland's Spiderman.
Deadpool [imdb] [trailer]
After his awful appearance in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Deadpool finally gets a chance to shine, at his filthiest best.
Doctor Strange [imdb]
With this Benedict Cumberbatch (great casting by the way) vehicle hopefully Magic will finally push it's way into the MCU.
Gambit [imdb]
OK I'll admit it. The only reason this makes my list is that Gambit is my favourite X-Men character. Hopefully this will be good.
Genius [imdb]
A biographically film about literary editor Max Perkins (Colin Firth) whose work put him in touch with some of the 20th centuries greatest writers.
Going in Style [imdb]
OK I'm going to admit that I am a Zach Braff fan. I thought he was brilliant in Scrubs, and I have enjoyed all his films since, especially Garden State. Looking forward to his take on 70's original.
Hail, Caesar! [imdb] [trailer]
The Coen Brothers with an all star cast, do a comedy set in the world of a 1950's Hollywood Movie studio. Can't wait.
I Saw the Light [imdb] [trailer]
Tom Hiddlestone gets another chance to display his more that impressive acting chops, this time playing Country and Western Legend Hank Williams.
Independence Day: Resurgence [imdb] [trailer]
20 years after the first film we get this sequel to the huge blockbuster of 1996. No Will Smith, but that's OK we get Jeff 'The Legend' Goldblum back.
Now You See Me 2 [imdb] [trailer]
I loved the first film. Lots of people didn't but they are obviously wrong. Here's hoping for all the fun of the first one.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story [imdb]
It's a Star Wars film! Of course it made this list
Star Trek: Beyond [imdb] [trailer]
Love Star Trek. Loved the 2009 reboot, enjoyed Into Darkness, though I had some issues with it. Hoping for a lot more fun from this Simon Pegg script.
Suicide Squad [imdb] [trailer]
When DC decided to finally compete with the MCU juggernaut, this is not a property that most people would have thought would be among the first films produced. Focusing on a team of DC villains forced to work for the government. Also interesting as it will be the first live action appearance of Harley Quinn and the first look at the new Joker.
The BFG [imdb] [trailer]
Steven Spielberg brings a Roald Dahl classic to the big screen.
The Magnificent Seven [imdb]
A remake of the 1960 Western Classic (itself a remake of the fantastic Seven Samurai), Denzil Washington leads an impressive cast.
The Nice Guys [imdb] [trailer]
Shane Black is back with a Buddy Action Comedy, this time set in the 70's and this time starring Russell Crowe and Ryan Gosling. Fun time to be had.
Untitled fifth Bourne film [imdb]
Bourne is back. Bringing Matt Damon and the director Paul Greengrass back with him.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot [imdb] [trailer]
OK I'm going to say it. Tina Fey is probably the funniest smart person in the world right now (sorry John Oliver), and I might have a crush on her. That shouldn't subtract from the fact that this film looks great.
X-Men: Apocalypse [imdb] [trailer]
The X-Men film series is filled with plot inconsistencies and confusion, but Bryan Singer seems to have not cared and decided instead to craft a good story in his last outing, Days Of Future Past. Hopefully the same will apply as the X-Men take on, one of their truly Big Bads Apocalypse.
Hopefully I will get to see all of these (of course I will) and you can too. Let me know if you disagree with any of my picks or have something you think I should definitely have on my list.
