if the lion the witch and the wardrobe is anything less than fabulous i'm going to cry. i've been waiting for them to make a real movie of it since i was like 6
Corpse Bride and The New World look good too. And some that you listed I hadn't heard of, but they sound very interesting.

(i should've said a BETTER real movie of the lion the witch and the wardrobe. the one's that the bbc did forever ago were ok..but still sort of cheesy)

LWW = The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe

Yeah, they were way cheesy. But I watched it when I was little because I wanted to see the story on film. But I was always a little disappointed by it.

My trepidation over LWW really has more to do with the massive CGIification of every story that might reach a mass audience after LOTR. I had my fears before LOTR also, but thankfully they lived up to the hype and the promise and they delivered three great films. But LWW's in-your-face-kitchen-sink trailer scares me big time. Of course, trailers have no shame and more often than not disinterest me in films as opposed to interesting me. I hate watching them. I hate it! All it takes is a trailer for me to decide I definately will not see a film. I might have actually had a chance of seeing Fantastic Four had I not heard the "You're hot" "Why thank you, so are you!" line before Star Wars, Batman and War of the Worlds! There's so many trailer cliches that bug me but I'll save it for a rant that I'll most likely post after my next trip to the theaters.
