Morlock 11 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 This year's summer lineup has been pretty much average, though bolstered every once in a while by the huge, highly anticipated projects like Batman Begins, RoTS, War of the Worlds, and Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, all of which I was pleasantly surprised with (in one way or another). Anyhoo, I just saw a list of possible Oscar candidates, and I was pretty surprised to see that I'm interested in seeing each and every of the mentioned movies. I looked on imdb a bit, and came up with this list of 23 movies coming fall, 2005, that can potentialy be good movies (at the very least). A lot of good directors there, a lot of good writers, a lot of skill behind these pics. It's an unusually large lineup, and it'll be interesting to see how many of these movie live up to their potential.Munich (d. Spielberg)Match Point (d. Allen)Elizabethtown (d. Crowe)Jarhead (d. Mendes)The Libertine (d. Dunmore)The New World (d. Malick)The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada (d. Jones)Good Night. And, Good Luck (d. Cloony)Broken Flowers (d. Jarmusch)Memoirs of a Geisha (d. Marshall)The Weather Man (d. Verbinski)Walk The Line (d. Mangold)All The King's Men (d. Zallian)Ask The Dust (d. Towne)The Producers (d. Stroman)The Constant Gardener (d. Meirelles)A History Of Violence (d. Cronenberg)Oliver Twist (d. Polanski)King Kong (d. Jackson)Proof (d. Madden)Capote (d. Miller)In Her Shoes (d. Hanson)Syriana (d. Gaghan) I am very optimistic about the next few months, movie wise. (Not to mention all the potentialy good scores waiting for us- two each from Williams, Zimmer and Shore, and interesting projects from Newman, Horner, Beltrami, Nyman, Danna, and Desplat) And the thought of the Scorsese/Nicholson/Shore picture alone is enough to make me optimistic about what we've got coming in 2006.....

ChrisAfonso 186 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Don'T forget GoF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg1138 3 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Your mention of Desplat has me intrigued....I had never heard of him until the other day when I watched "Hostage" - and was reasonably impressed by the score....any great ones of his out there that I should be listening to/looking out for?

Morlock 11 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not too familiar with him, but what I've heard, I've liked. Birth, Girl with the Pearl Earing, and Hostage all have their fair share fo fans. And I can't believe I forgot GoF, one of my most anticipated movies.

Hlao-roo 389 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm curious about Duma, which is in limited release right now. I'm always on the look-out for solid live-action PG filmmaking. They just don't do it like E.T. or Back to the Future anymore! (Though the latest 'Harry Potter' installment was a pleasant surprise.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewdog1 50 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 (Though the latest 'Harry Potter' installment was a pleasant surprise.)It looks like the next one will be PG-13. I guess ROTS opened the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,207 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Not to forget Narnia.Marian - who is awaiting a few of these and can't remember looking forward to seeing so many movies within less than half a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted August 10, 2005 Author Share Posted August 10, 2005 Indeed, I want to see both Narnia and V for Vendetta (I don't see how Narnia will be really good, though it's gonna have a friggin' awesome score, I can feel it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not sure about V for Vendetta, but I think I'll check out Narnia. I've been looking around for the books, but our local library doesn't have any, and I don't feel like purchasing them. Rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMan 0 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 Munich, because of Spielberg and Williams Memoirs of a Geisha, because of Williams Narnia, because of the score's potential (and the movie could be good too) GoF...'nuff said I totally agree. I think Narnia will be an awesome score. As for Munich and/or Memoirs Im expecting an Angela's Ashes/Schindler's List type score...which would be great! GOF...I just have no idea what to expect, and Im not really excited in the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I remember about 7 or 8 years ago, there were always movies I wanted to see. Every year was like an event to look forward to. But now, most movies that come out don't hold my interest. Is there something wrong with me or the movies they bring out now? Most of them these days seem so repetitive of what I've already seen before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
