As for the films I'm also very much looking forward to, but they are not on this list for obvious reasons, I will just mention them below in no particular order:

- Argo (Directed by Ben Affleck and starring Affleck, Bryan Cranston, Kyle Chandler and John Goodman).

- Django Unchained (Directed by Quentin Tarantino and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz).

- Only God Forgives (Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn and starring Ryan Gosling and Kristin Scott Thomas).

- Lincoln (Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Daniel Day-Lewis, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sally Field, Jackie Earle Haley and Tommy Lee Jones).

- The Grey (Directed by Joe Carnahan and starring Liam Neeson)

- The Cabin in the Woods (Directed by Drew Goddard and starring Chris Hemsworth, Kristen Connolly and Anna Hutchison)

- The Master (Directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and starring Philip Seymour Hoffman, Joaquin Phoenix and Amy Adams).

- Gangster Squad (Directed by Ruben Fleischer and starring Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Josh Brolin and Sean Penn).

- Taken 2 (Directed by Olivier Megaton and starring Liam Neeson, Famke Janssen and Maggie Grace).

Gravity ahead of The Hobbit???
John Carter ahead of The Dark Knight Rises???
whatever you're smoking please pass it my way.

5. G.I. Joe: Retaliation
4. Django Unchained
3. An Unexpected Journey
2. Prometheus
1. Marvel's The Avengers

For me, anyways.

RossBentley: Watch Children of Men and then come back. And have you read the first novel in the Barsoom series by Edgar Rice Burroughs? No? Then go read that too.

Any hope for a decent John Carter movie went out the window the second the Disney logo appeared at the beginning of the trailer.

TDKR for the win.

5. John Carter
4. The Hobbit
3. Prometheus
2. The Amazing Spiderman
1. The Avengers

To those who complain about John Carter not deserving the #1 spot...try reading the books. Really.

@headlopper.. I think its an Italian western .. tarantino is directing, will probably be a contender at the oscars type movie

5.Snow White and the Huntsmen
4.Ghost Rider:Spirit of Vengeance
3.The Dark Knight Rises
2.The Amazing Spider-man
1.The Avengers

TheGODDAMNSUPERGUY: Just because someone makes something that doesn't fit your wish, doesn't mean that person fails. :)

MyInnerDork: And you do?

I agree, I'm honestly more excited about The Amazing Spider-man than Avengers and TDKR.

To any1 complaining bout the list its HIS list HIS OPINION not URS!! so y trash the man 4 his personal opinion :/

@Nomis: that ain't funny, that really happened.

Interesting list. I agree that most of those films should be on the list. I would rank it:

5: Dark Knight Rises - (not impressed with anything I've seen of it so far - except for Bane holding the broken mask.)
4: John Carter - Just looks amazing.
3: Total Recall - I like the cast and think this will be a sleeper hit.
2: Amazing Spidey - I heard from reliable sources that it is looking amazing so far.
1: Avengers. 'nuff said.

I don't dislike the article's ranking. I just don't agree with it. To each his own.

1. The Dark Knight Rises
2. The Hobbit
3. Prometheus
4. The Amazing Spider-Man
5. The Avengers

Everything else falls in no particular order.

MFW people say they're anticipating GI 2

I HAVE NO FACE

Very interesting list.... Also, you've opened my eyes to several other movies coming out next year, so thank you!

Based on the movies on this list...

15. Total Recall

Ugh, you had to remind me this was coming out.... I hope Bill Nigh and Bryan Cranston can save this abomination. Or maybe I can go to Recall and get a lobotomy, to forget about this remake all over again.

14. G.I JOE: Retaliation.

Meh.

13. DREDD

I'm actually really interested in seeing this one and hoping for it to be good, mainly cause I remember Karl Urban from LOTR so I fanboy squeal whenever he's mentioned.

12. Skyfall

I've always wanted to get into James Bond, but I've never had access to any of the movies, so I'll go and see this one.

11. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Honest Abe hackin' up blood suckers. Need I say more?

10. Looper.

I love Bruce Willis, (He's one of my favorite actors) and the premise sounds pretty cool. Unfortunately this will probably end up being a movie I don't go see even though I really want to.

9. Gravity

It sounds cool, I suppose. Kinda sounds like it'd be similar to Apollo 13, which was a really good movie.

8. The Bourne Legacy.

Jeremy Renner is REALLY good at what he does (Which, in his roles, happen to be killing). Even though I get a little aggravated whenever he's brought up, I do like him and I recognize his talent. Hopefully I'll get to watch the first three Bourne's before seeing this, though.

7. Prometheus

I've never seen an Alien movie, so I go into this movie eagerly expecting greatness.

6. John Carter

It looks amazing.

5. The Amazing Spider-Man.

I think it will SUCK, but hey, it's Spider-Man, and I can't help but love the little guy, so he gets a break.

4. Men In Black III

I love both MIB movies and the trailer looked hilarious and fantastic, so here's hoping.

3. The Avengers

It'll probably be good, nothing spectacular, just a summer blockbuster-level story and great action.

2. The Dark Knight Rises.

This will be spectacular. This will be one of the greatest things to touch the big screen. This will be incredible.

1. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.

I have a major weakness for LOTR. I love it, it's one of my favorites, and The Hobbit is one of my favorite books. Ian McKellen is back as Gandalf, the dwarves looks great, Lee is back as Saruman and Hugo as Elrond. Not to mention Martin Freeman as Bilbo.... color me interested.

Well there's my list. Yours is great, what do you think of mine?
