There are a lot. Many will depend whether they target an R or PG-13 rating, like Alien.

Still, a lot more promise for 2017 than 2016, for my taste.

Dunkirk, SW and Spiderman are good hype as well

Thread has me combing through what's coming up when there are so many movies still to come this year heh. Others I'll be looking for:
-Del Toro's The Shape of Water—Michael Shannon as a mute janitor helping an amphibious monster played by Doug Jones out of a Cold War lab.
-Harmony Korine's The Trap
-The Nightingale, Babadook director Jennifer Kent's revenge drama
-Andrew Garfield alongside Dakota Johnson (who is awesome and unfairly disliked for 50 Shades) in a Los Angeles noir from It Follows director David Robert Mitchell
-Sofia Coppola's The Beguiled remake starring Kidman, Dunst, Elle Fanning, and Angourie Rice from The Nice Guys

Other films that come to mind include "Widows" by Steve McQueen(12 Years a Slave), in which four widows of career bank robbers team up to finish the heist job their husbands died on. Its a more commercial sounding prospect for the artist McQueen, but that actually intrigues me more, like how is he adapting his compositions and cinematic eye to a heist drama.

wow, how did I not know about this. Gillian Flynn script, so McQueen could definitely make something pulpy but awesome like Gone Girl.

Aside from the obvious choices - Episode VIII, Dunkirk, Blade Runner 2049, Baby Driver, Spider-Man, new PTA/DDL -- my secret dark horse candidate is Alex Garland's Annihilation. Ex Machina caught me way the hell off guard last year; I loved it, and the cast for his next movie is dope af. Really looking forward to how it turns out.

I hadn't looked at the cast for this—Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tessa Thompson, Oscar Issac. Even if I didn't adore Ex Machina I am down for that

Probably Three Billboards.

Was just reading about this, love the full title—Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri. Seven Psychopaths wasn't as good as I hoped but the McDonaghs are always doing fun stuff

In for anything with Michael Shannon honestly. Hopefully this breaks del Toros meh English film curse.

And McDonough is 2 for 2 for me so far. Pity there's no sam Rockwell or Colin Farrell in it

Probably Guardians 2 I suppose. Idk I don't really get hyped for movies this far in advance. I'm more focused on stuff still coming out this year, like Doctor Strange and Silence.

I stan for MCU and Star Wars all day every day, so Guardians 2, Spider-Man, Thor, and Episode VIII for sure. Also Logan.

Other than that, I'm approaching Blade Runner and Alien with caution. Two of my favorite films of all time getting sequels that I'm not convinced will be good, but I'm willing to keep an open mind.

Alex Garland is maybe my favorite up and coming name in sci-fi, so I'm really interested in Annihilation too.

Edit: Wait Martin McDonagh is doing something? Why didn't I hear of this? Well, that too then.

I didn't realize that he had another movie out in 2017. In Bruges and Seven Psychopaths were great.

Star Wars: Episode Viii. TFA was better than I imagined, can't wait to see what Disney has in store for this title.

Runner up: Beauty and the Beast. My favorite disney animation. Hoping for the same greatness that was the jungle book.
Click to expand...
This, no doubt. Fuck the ridiculous TFA backlash. It's wonderful and I'm beyond hyped to see where all of the characters go in the next entry.

Also, I didn't even realize a live action Beauty and the Beast adaptation was happening until I saw a teaser today. (Or if I knew at one point, I totally forgot.) Looks great.

Dark Side of Dimensions by a fair margin.

I think it comes into theaters right as I head back to school though, and it's a limited run.

The Dark Tower
Star Wars EP VIII
Dunkirk
War Of The Planets Of The Apes
Coco (Pixar)
T2: Trainspotting 2

Blockbuster cinema in 2017 will easily be better than whatever 2016 was.

No longer boycotting the Wolfenstein franchise
Annihilation
Blade Runner 2049
Coco
The Coldest City
Dunkirk
John Wick: Chapter 2
Okja

Other stuff that I can't think of because they're not yet dated.

I don't exactly have a list in my head, but offhand War for the Planet of the Apes is something I am anticipating in the hopes that it lives up to both the first and especially the second film.

Definitely Star Wars, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Spiderman. Too many good blockbusters next year. I haven't paid attention to what's coming out next year, so I'm not sure what I'll watch on the indie/foreign/notblockbuster front.

You know how Mad Max: Fury Road was the best movie of 2015
Click to expand...

I'm still baffled at the reception this got. I've tried watching it multiple times now, it does absolutely nothing for me. Saw it with 4 friends, they felt the same way. One even fell asleep.

My favorite movie of 2016 so far is The Wailing, my favorite in 2015 was the Revenant, and my favorite in 2014 was Gone Girl. Maybe I just have different tastes...

Alien will be? It is confirmed? Source?

I heard about Logan and that is why I am excited for it...just not sold on the director. The extended cut of The Wolverine had its moments but it was still a long way off.

Edit: googled. Was a while ago. Hope it stays true.

Star Wars, followed very closely by John Wick and Alien.

SW is an obvious choice for me, and I loved Prometheus. John Wick is IMO the best straight-up action film since Die Hard so I can't wait for the sequel.

It's probably between Guardians of the Galaxy 2, Alien: Covenant, Wolverine 3, Spider-man, Kingsman, Wonder Woman, Thor 3, or Star Wars Episode VIII. Hopefully Episode VIII will wash the bad taste of Rogue One out of all our mouths.

Either way, wow! 2017 is looking stacked for quality films.

WTF?

Is this post really so indicative of the limit of your vision?

I just googled 2017 movies and theres like 15 of them I wanna watch (assuming none get moved to 2018)

Dunkirk, Star Wars, Alien:Covenant, Spiderman.

I have an unlimited movie pass at my cinema though so I just watch pretty much everything that looks even slightly interesting. Saw a lot movies I wouldn't have checked out otherwise, like The Wailing.
