MovieTickets.com surveyed 2000 moviegoers to gauge their interest level in upcoming movies. Apparently there was a list and voters where asked to rank the movies from 1 to 5. The winner should shock just about no one: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. When you think about it, Indy was almost as big as Star Wars back in the day and his fans are legion and clamoring for more. The release of the DVD set reminded me just how much damn fun the movies were, and how much I like Indy as a character. So, you can bet I'll be there opening day, probably with fanboys John and Tim in tow. Not only would Indy 4 be the only movie from the list that I would give a 5 to, its probably the only movie I'll even go watch in the theater. Yes, fanboy am I.

The rest of the top 5:

• The Dark Knight (Batman 2) - I liked the first one well enough, and I'll see this one but most likely a rental.


• National Treasure: Book Of Secrets - Another decent first movie, but now it looks like the horse has been shipped off to the glue factory.


• American Gangster - I've never even heard of this movie until now and I still have no motivation to see it.


• The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian - This may be the only other movie I see in the theater and you can bet it'll be my kids plotting ways to get me to take them. Darn kids. Why, when I was a kid, we didn't have fantasy movies based on books, we had muppets!

You can see the rest of the top 20 at the link provided. The non-kid provoked theater attending possibilities are: I Am Legend (and that's very iffy) and Speed Racer. Before I go fire up my Raiders CD, what movies are you looking forward to?
