Films I Want to Watch – Confessions of a Plannerholic

Following on from last week’s post about the films we love and can watch again and again (check it out here if you missed it), this week over in Confessions of a Plannerholic towers we are discussing films we want to see.

I’ll be honest here and tell you that I don’t really keep up with all the new movie releases and I don’t really get to the cinema as much as I’d like so a lot of my films will be older films that I haven’t gotten around to watching. That said my OH and I have been attempting a movie night at home every Friday in an attempt to actually spend time together after the kids are in bed so having a list of films to watch makes it a little easier to decide what to watch.

Anyway, let’s get started with the current releases that I may or may not get to see at the cinema.

Finding Dory

My eldest loved watching Finding Nemo when she was little and I think it would be pretty cool to watch Finding Dory with my youngest two.

Bad Moms

I saw the trailer for earlier in the year when I managed a rare night at the cinema to see Suicide Squad (read more about it here and they had me howling with laughter.

Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children

I love Tim Burton films for their dark, quirky style (and partly because Johnny Depp regularly pops up) and this looks pretty good.

Next we have the upcoming movies that haven’t yet been released but I’ve heard about and want to see.

Fast 8

I’m interested to see where this film franchise will go following the untimely death of Paul Walker. Personally I think they should have ended on a positive note at the end of the last film, but we will see.

Anything starring Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn

I saw recently that there were rumours that they were planning on making a spin off from Suicide Squad starring Margot Robbie and if so that will definitely be on my watch list. I loved her in Suicide Squad.

All of the upcoming DC Comics movies – Justice League, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Aquaman, Deadpool 2

OK, so Batman v Superman was one of the most boring films in the history of films but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to see the rest of the movies. Hopefully they will have learned from the mistakes and the future movies will be a whole lot better.

Bad Boys 4

I know that once film franchises churning out film after film the quality sometimes tends to take a nose dive but I have two words that, for me, will make this film worth seeing …Will Smith!

Moving on we have films that I already have on DVD but haven’t managed to watch yet (mainly because I completely forgot about them until I was looking through my DVD collection for last week’s post)

Hours

To be honest the storyline looks a little shaky but it stars Paul Walker so I’m sure I can get through it

The Usual Suspects

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this, although have a feeling that I’ve missed some of it and I know my OH has never seen it so it’s on the list.

Finally, we have a two films that I’ve added to my list after reading the other posts from last week’s Confessions series

Zodiac

This was on Emma’s must watch list and I’d never heard of it but it sounds like something I’d enjoy so I’m adding it to my watch list.

My Neighbour Totoro

This was on Kelly’s list and was another film I’ve never heard of but and intrigued by.
So that’s my list so far, and in true Plannerholic tradition I have a page in my planner. What films do you think I should add to my lists

Midweek Date Night

Midweek dates are a rare occurrence in our house as the planning involved in organising a babysitter and getting both kids to bed before we leave is more like a military operation than a date but after finding out earlier in the year that another film in the DC franchise (Suicide Squad) was due to be released in August I pencilled in the date and lined up a babysitter plus a backup just in case.

I’m a big Will Smith fan and my OH is a bit of a DC nerd so this was one movie we didn’t want to miss, although to be honest we have been to the cinema slightly more than usual this year due to the fascination with all things DC/Marvel.  All I can say is thank goodness for Meerkat Movies 🙂

I must admit that after watching Batman v Superman I went along with mixed feelings about this movie. I was really hoping it would be better than Batman v Superman (which wouldn’t be too difficult) and I wasn’t disappointed.

The film moves pretty quickly whilst also providing you a bit of a backstory for each of the characters and I was hooked from pretty early on, although I would like to have seen a bit more of a plot/storyline.

My favourite character without doubt was Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie. Her interaction with Will Smith and the other Suicide Squad members made me laugh and her relationship with Jared Leto’s Joker was perfect (although for me the role Joker will always belong to Heath Ledger).

Have you seen it yet? If so I’d love to know what you thought.
