This & Gravity will make a crazy double feature.
 
Off the top of my head,

Gravity
The Wolf of Wall Street

and then a bunch of movies like American Hustle, Blue is the Warmest Colour etc, that I'm really anticipating, but wouldn't necessarily step on somebody's neck to get good seats to the opening session.
 
I need to brush up on what's coming out this year, a bit out of the film loop lately.

I did manage to see a trailer for American Hustle a few weeks ago. That looks really good.
 
Anyone from UK in here? Will be a hassle finding out which of these movies are showing here this year, because we usually get limited movies some months later.
 
There's a good number of films that I want to see from now until December, but I can safely say that my wallet will hate me. :)

Even better is that I do live/work in the Bay Area so chances of seeing many festival circuit movies in the theaters around me is probably pretty good.

On Christmas day, I know for sure I'll probably catch Mitty & August (mom wants to see it too).
 
-Gravity: No doubt in my mind this shit is gotta rock ass, Bullock or no Bullock. You know it, I know, even Borgnine knows it deep down in his cold, black heart.

-Oldboy: Spike Lee is too damn talented for this to not be totally awesome or straight up terrible, but either way, I'm interested!

-Captain Philips: Oh Tom Hanks, I'll root for you in anything. Especially when Paul Greengrass is behind the camera.

-Wolf of Wall Street: Come on, this doesn't like a lot of fun. And the story arc of "Matthew McNaughty, Respected Actor" continues

-Anchorman 2: This will never live up to the original, but what the fuck ever lets do it

-American Hustle: Early 90s Scorsese, in the same year as Wolf of Wall Street? Boy, talk about awkward!

-12 Years a Slave: My boy Onemic doing big! /inside joke

-Her: Ok, so I HATED Where the Wild Things Are, and I can't shake this feeling of "rich white man has magic pixie girl fix all his problems", with the twee turned up to 11 but...fuck it, I'm still interested.

-The Counselor: OK, Ridley Scott. You got an all-star cast here. You got Cormac McCarthy doing the script. Surely you can deliver on this one, right? IDK man, you've kinda been living off your reputation of those masterpieces you did like two decades ago, you gotta make a few of these payments eventually.

-Rush: Yeah I know, a Ron Howard film not named Apollo 13, but the combination of him with a racing biopic is interesting, right? Early UK reviews also specifically mention that his brand of competent milquetoast blandness isn't quite so evident here!
 
YES! the film festival here (which begins in a month) is going to show the last Miyazaki film! It is a festival that shows foreign films primarily from South America, Asia and the Middle East region. So I look forward to seeing that at least.
