My Most Anticipated 2016 Movies:10. — Roald Dahl book + Steven Spielberg = yes please9.

— A dystopian society movie, and if you read the plot synopsis of this one, I’m pretty sure it’ll make your list too.8.  — LOVED the first one, and though this one will have a different director, it has the same writer. My hopes aren’t sky high, but I’m pretty excited.7. — I love period pieces, but especially when they cover events I particularly care about.

6. Ice Age: Collision Course — Two of my favourite animated characters in all moviedom are Sid and Scrat. I could watch them all day. Keep those IA movies coming. 5. — Love this character, though I don’t know much about him. I’m really looking forward to discovering his story. 4.  — Obvious reasons here… 3.— It’s been a long time since I was this excited about a comic book movie based solely on the trailer. 2. Anything Martin Scorsese might direct in the next 12 months. 1.  — Even though I’m not crazy about the latest trailers and tease posters (i.e. they let too much cat out of the bag), I’m still pumped to see this one.

And finally…
