I’m Curious but have Doubt about The Spirit of a Seven Pound Slumdog Wrestler Getting Married on Revolutionary Road by Nixon The Reader in his Gran Torino

After reexamining the Golden Globe nominations, I realized that there are a ridiculous number of potentially great films coming out in the next month which I would love to see, as well as a few I should have by now. I will probably wind seeing most after New Year’s but before the Academy Awards.

Here are those which top my must-see list:

  1. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
  2. Doubt
  3. Frost/Nixon
  4. Gran Torino
  5. Rachel Getting Married
  6. The Reader
  7. Revolutionary Road
  8. Seven Pounds
  9. Slumdog Millionaire
  10. The Spirit
  11. The Wrestler

Thus far, the only Oscar-worthy movies I’ve seen this year are The Dark Knight, Milk and Wall E. I am on the fence about Changeling, although I do think that Clint Eastwood is one hell of a director.

For those of you who share my interest in the major film awards, I highly recommend that you visit and bookmark The Envelope, the LA Times’ extensive awards buzz blog.
 
Am I forgetting any pending releases?
