You all should know the drill by now. We've done this "contest" with the summer movies for the past several years and now we are doing it for the other big movie season, the winter. All you have to do is vote for the films you think will be the top 5 of the season.

I am not going to put the poll up for a couple weeks. I do want to take opinions on which films to include in the poll. It is not as cut and dry as it typically is during the summer. Here are a list of films I am considering for the poll. I am pretty confident about these first 7 being included --

  • Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1
  • Chronicles of Narnia: Voyage of the Dawn Treader
  • Megamind - animated film with Matt Damon, Will Farrell, and Tina Fey
  • Tron: Legacy - who cares how many years it has been, you are dying to see it!
  • The Tourist - thriller starring Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp
  • Little Fockers - has this franchise died yet?
  • Unstoppable - runaway train flick starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pine


That leaves 5 more spots in the poll and I have a lot of candidates. Give me opinions on the following--

  • Red - Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren in a CIA action-comedy
  • Monsters - no-name cast but big buzz. Aliens have landed in Mexico and people trying to get across the border into safe America. Dubbed, "this year's District 9"
  • Due Date - Robert Downy Jr and Zach Galif in a buddy road flick
  • 127 Hours - Oscar winning director Danny Boyle, story of man trapped while hiking
  • Skyline - big effects film about aliens grabbing people in Los Angeles
  • Next 3 Days - Russell Crowe tries to break his wife out of prison
  • Tangled - Disney's animated film this winter, new take on the Rapunzel story
  • Burlesque- Cher and Christina Aquilerra, need I say more?
  • Love and Other Drugs - Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal in story about first guy to sell Viagra
  • Yogi Bear - combines animation and live action. Justin Timberlake as the voice of Boo-Boo
  • How Do You Know - romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson
  • True Grit - Joel and Ethan Coen remake this classic with Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon
  • Gulliver's Travels - Jack Black stars


I could easily see several of these being big hits. I am seriously considering voting for a couple of them. Let me know which ones you really want to see included in the list of films for our poll.
