Looking Ahead: Most Anticipated Movies of 2016

Well, 2015 was fun. [brushes off bits of crusted blood and debris]

Now then.  Moving on… I’ll be building a wish list today for our annual Most Anticipated poll. Our good friend Chris Price has made the job easier this year by putting together a great list of over 115 titles.  So I’m sure he’s left out your own personal pipe dream.

For a few hours, we’ll feature Chris’s raw list and you’re all invited to suggest additions.  Then we’ll construct an unwieldy poll, and you can click 10 or 12 of the films that look most promising to you.   Most years when we’ve done this we can identify 5 or 6 of the year’s eventual BP nominees, sight unseen.  (Before we congratulate ourselves, consider how this knack is both impressive and oppressive. hmm…)

Check out Chris’s list after the cut and see if you can name a future Best Picture nominee that’s not on it.
