It's Christmas weekend, one of the most successful moviegoing weekends all year, and there are five (!) new movies debuting this weekend, crowded even for a holiday weekend. Out of curiosity, what movie(s) are you interested in seeing this weekend?

Me, I want to see all of these. In order of importance to me:
1) In America - finally coming to my arthouse
2) The Return of the King (again)
3) Peter Pan
4) Young Black Stallion
5) Cold Mountain
6) Cheaper By the Dozen

So I voted for my #1 choice. Odd, too, I added an Other option, but it didn't show up. Oh well. If you want to see something else, write it in the thread.

All of the above, plus Paycheck. I'll probably only end up seeing one or two of them in theaters though. It's easier to just wait until dvd to see movies though, at least movies that I'm not dying to see.

Well, I was going to see Master & Commander this weekend, but ended up seeing it yesterday (great movie). So I guess I'm not going to the theaters this weekend. None of the new openers look like they're worth 8 bucks.

Sheesh, I forgot to include Paycheck, and I wanna see that too (!). And I changed my mind, Cheaper looks stupid, I don't want to see it.

hey indianajp,

Arkansas DOES have movie theaters. I know we are sort of backwards, but hey, we are caught up in that respect! :lol:

Oh I know...as a matter of fact, we saw Titanic in a less-than-titanic movie theatre in Harrison back in 1997 or '98, whenever it was released. I just doubt very highly that I'll be able to convince the wife and sis-in-law to see that instead of something like Mona Lisa Smiles or Cheaper by the Dozen.

Damn straight! I saw it on NYE (in the champagne and beer filled La Premiere section of Fox Studios, of course...so it was kinda celebratory) and of that doesn't win this time, I will (as previously promised) personally slap every memeber of the Academy.

Might see it again on the weekend actually...
