Felix Quinonez: Thor: The Dark World- I loved the first one and the trailer for this one looks like it should be just as good. I'm really looking forward to seeing more from the god of thunder and I'm excited to see how the next chapter of the Marvel movie universe is being set up.

Catching Fire- What can I say? I liked the first one and want to see the next chapter.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug- I was completely disappointed by the first one but I haven't learned my lesson and got my hopes up again.

Jay Barney: Jack Ryan. I was surprised when they announced Chris Pine would be the new Jack Ryan, but I am pleased to see them bringing back the old Tom Clancy series.

Edwin Davies: I'll second anticipation for Inside Llewyn Davis, American Hustle, Gravity and Her, and I'll add to that 12 Years a Slave, which looks fantastic, The Counselor because I hope Cormac McCarthy will counterbalance the fact it's a Ridley Scott film, Saving Mr. Banks because of all the hundreds of times that I watched Mary Poppins as a child, and Lone Survivor because I desperately want Peter Berg and Taylor Kitsch to remind me why I liked them so much prior to Battleship.

In the immediate future, I'm super excited for Elysium and Blue Jasmine once it actually reaches my neck of the woods.

Kim Hollis: I'm interested in Elysium this weekend because I want to see what Neill Blomkamp does as a follow-up to District 9. The World's End is a must because I've been in Simon Pegg/Nick Frost/Edgar Wright camp all the way back to Spaced. I want Riddick to be as good as Pitch Black. Alfonso Cuaron will always get me motivated to go to the theater, so Gravity is a must. The same goes for The Wolf of Wall Street because of Scorsese/DiCaprio (plus bonus Kyle Chandler). I'll echo the American Hustle mention because I love just about everything David O. Russell does (with The Fighter being the lone exception). And of course I'm on board for Catching Fire and Anchorman 2. I probably quote the original Anchorman once a week without knowing it.

David Mumpower: Elysium is also my answer for right now. After the weekend, my answer changes to Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2, as I (slightly) preferred the original to Up, which I also love. From there, Gravity becomes my answer followed by Catching Fire and finally Anchorman 2. I understand why people lament sequels as a rule, but I would note that 60% of my list are follow-ups. That's probably why I slot Elysium above everything else, even if it does feel like a de facto sequel to my beloved District 9.
