Here's some recent movies I'm looking forward to buying when they come out on DVD (I may have posted some of these elsewhere):
PATHFINDER
Trailer:

This movie looks awesome! The dialogue may suffer because the Indian's seem to be true Indian's and have accents, too often that sort of negates the emotion that the English words should convey, you know? It looks killer, though. There aren't enough Viking movies out there. What was the last modern movie about Vikings? The 13th Warrior?
I also expect it to be light on an in-depth storyline, but it looks like good, mindless fun. The main character looks like the singer of Seether.
MARIE ANTOINETTE
Trailer:

I'm interested in this one, but I don't know, probably a used-bin buy. I like people trying a modern take on an old tale, but incorporating modern pansy band music doesn't make it "modern." I guess, if anything, this is the highest we'll ever see Kirsten Dunst's boobs.
APOCALYPTO
Trailer:

I just saw the trailer for this one. It's a Mel Gibson flick and it looks good. I've not heard anything on it, though. The Passion Of The Christ must have brought down his stock in the mainstream media. Crazy. EDIT: Haha. I wrote that on another board prior to his recent "Sugar Tits" Jew debacle. I'm betting on a straight-to-DVD release now.
Anyway, this appears to something of a tribal love story? Warring tribes from like 3,000 years ago and a central love story? At least that's what the trailer makes it seem like. I've also heard it's not in English, there will be subtitles. No idea, though.
THE FOUNTAIN
Trailer:

This movie looks awesome!! Not quite sure what it's really about, though. Hahaha.
THE ILLUSIONIST
Trailer:

Another great-looking movie! I need to invent a time machine and go back 200 years. That would be fresh.
THE PRESTIGE
Trailer:

Here's another that kind of goes along with The Illusionist, both about magicians, but each different. They both look great!
ROME: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON
Trailer:
http://www.videodetective.com/trailer-preview.asp?151669
This was an HBO series that was simply awesome. Sadly this next season will be its last because HBO digs itself into a financial hole with these series and with a $100,000,000 price tag they can't afford to go beyond season 2. Lame.
Either way, for those that didn't see this while it was on you should definitely check it out. It's an amazing series.
GABRIELLE
Trailer:
http://www.videodetective.com/trailer-preview.asp?699407
A ghost story set in the 1800's or something, but it's in French. I'm basically interested simply because of the period, but the music makes it seem cool.
BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN
Trailer:
http://www.videodetective.com/trailer-preview.asp?505806
Nothing more needs to be said. This movie is going to kick ass!!
Anyway, there are some others like Rocky Balboa, Employee Of The Month, The Namesake, The Black Dahlia and Idlewild, to name a few, that I'd like to see eventually. Given the choice, though, those above are the movies I'd see first.
So what do you got?
