My Most Anticipated Films of 2013

2012 has come and gone and what a year it was for film.  I got a some questions on when my best of list will be revealed.  There are still a few movies I need to see before I can call my list "definitive", so just sit tight as it is coming by the end of January (better late than never).  In the meantime, I thought I'd hold everyone over with another list, a list that points towards what is in store for us in the coming year.  2013 has the makings of another great year with many movies that have the potential to be fantastic.  The following is my list of what I'm most looking forward too and what you should keep an eye out for as well.

Before we begin with the top 25, here are a few that couldn't quite make the list, but are still worth getting excited about: Gore Verbinski's The Lone Ranger starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer, R.I.P.D. starring Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds, the X-Men spin-off The Wolverine, Kick-Ass 2, Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Mark Ruffalo (need I go on?), the Evil Dead remake, Roman Coppola's A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III, Michael Bay's Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson starring Pain and Gain, the Chloe Grace Moretz-starring Carrie remake, The Dallas Buyer's Club starring Matthew McConaughey, Maniac with Elijah Wood, Ron Howard's auto racing biopic Rush, Sam Raimi's prequel Oz: The Great and Powerful with James Franco, Mila Kunis, Rachel Weisz and Michelle Williams, Iron Man 3, the Coen Brothers-penned Gambit, the return of Ron Burgandy in Anchorman: The Legend Continues, the Aussie film Wish You Were Here, Robert Rodriguez' Machete Kills, the ensemble comedy This is the End, Cannes sensation No, Lars Von Triers erotic drama Nymphomaniac, the biopic of The Iceman Richard Kuklinski, another sensation from Cannes The Hunt starring Mads Mikkelsen, Guillermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim, Blood Ties directed by Guillaume Canet, the West Memphis Three story Devil's Knot, the Luc Besson directed, Robert De Niro starring Malatvita, the Jackie Robinson biopic 42, Alexander Payne's The Descendants follow-up Nebraska, Under the Skin directed by Jonathan Glazer, Jeff Nichols' Mud with Matthew McConaughey, Joon-Ho Bong's english language debut Snowpiercer, Star Trek Into Darkness, Baz Luhrmann's delayed The Great Gatsby, British gangster/action movie Welcome to the Punch, and Edgar Wright's newest comedy The World's EndA big list and all could have cracked the top 25, which is after the jump.
