While looking over the list of movies that are due to be released before the end of 2004, I realized that there are a ridiculous number that I am just highly, highly anticipating. I thought I'd share my list, and if there are any names on it that are unfamiliar, I invite you to check out our Release Schedule to learn more. It's updated daily and is an invaluable source of upcoming movie information.

I've listed these in order of "most anticipated" first and then "slightly less anticipated" as I move down the list. It's a pretty damned impressive list, considering how excited I am for all of them.

1) The Life Aquatic

2) The Incredibles

3) Hero (I've actually already seen this, so it's admittedly a bit of a cheat)

4) Shaun of the Dead

5) The Motorcycle Diaries

6) Enduring Love

7) House of Flying Daggers

8) Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
