My choices:
1. The Dark Knight Rises - can Nolan pull off the first completely satisfactory superhero trilogy?
2. Django Unchained - looks like Tarantino going all-out with a different take on historical fiction, like he did with Basterds, which is my favourite film of his.
3. Anna Karenina - Joe Wright/Keira Knightley is two-for-two so far, and the cast is great.
4. The Master - The good Paul Anderson returns after five years' absence, supposedly to satirize Scientology.
5. Wreck-It Ralph - new Disney film with what sounds like a very interesting premise.
6. Brave - the trailer was very generic, but Pixar's record speaks for itself.
7. The Great Gatsby - I don't know whether Baz Luhrman is the right choice for source material like this, but we'll see (and he's working with 3D; he's one of the visual stylists who I expect would do something interesting with it).
8. Lincoln - the book is great (though most of it obviously won't be in the film), and Spielberg has been planning to make this for years, so it'll be interesting to finally see it.
9. Les Miserables - great source material, a cast of choices ranging from excellent to "we'll see if that will work".
10. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey - can't believe it's been almost ten years since the series ended.
