What movies do you get excited for?

This weekend marks the release of the first of a trilogy of movies, that I am excited above all else to see.  San Andreas has made its way to my local multiplex.  The other two films are Jurassic World and Inside Out.  Of course there are other movies that I want to see this summer but none more then these three.  (As a side note it should go without saying that the November release of Spectre is the one film above all else that I am eagerly awaiting).  

What makes San Andreas stand out?  After all Jurassic World has the nostalgic factor going for it and Inside Out is the latest Pixar movie.  Pixar has never made a bad movie and they always entertain me beyond words.  Sure I enjoy mindlessness in my film from time to time.  I REALLY enjoy that adrenaline rush, that’s a natural high for me.  In my cinema I enjoy watching things go to hell and back.  To balance that I love a good hero moment.  I love a stupid one liners and corny bits of heroic dialogue.  That what makes San Andreas stand out for me.

But the bigger question I have is what movies do you truly get you excited?

I’m not going to lie there have been some nights I have not slept in anticipation of going to see a certain movie the following day/evening.

James Bond films do this for me.  Far above all else in the history of cinema the 007 franchise is my favorite.  In part its because my fantasy life is that of a military intelligence operative, like Bond.  I’m a social creature who enjoys non holiday traditions and Bond more then fulfills that need.  I love the history of the franchise and how wrapped up in itself it is.  The films are filled with many moments of triumph where the good overcomes the obstacles of evil.  Goldeneye being a particular favorite in the triumph over evil department.  There are also moments of true heart break.  The endings to both On Her Majesty’s Secret Service and Skyfall still put a lump in my throat.  Many memories, good & bad, surround film in general but growing up learning about 007 flicks stand above the crowd.  James Bond films are the north star of my cinematic world.

So I ask you again what movies do you get truly excited for?  Please feel free to respond either publicly or privately.  I always love hearing from readers.
