20 Films to still look forward to in 2009, curtosy of Rope of Silicon

Like I mentioned in the title of this post, Rope of Silicon has made a list of their 20 most anticipated films of the year still to be released. The original story is here, and Sasha Stone over at Awards Daily has her own list to go along with the aforementioned list here, but I figured I'd post the main list on the blog as well so everyone could see it in a quick glance. It's all the usual Oscar suspects, with some interesting twists thrown in. Now, without further BS from me...From #20 to #1, this is the original list:
20. The Invention of Lying
19. Ninja Assassin
18. Green Zone
17. Bright Star
16. A Serious Man
15. Ponyo
14. Shutter Island
13. The Wolfman
12. The Lovely Bones
11. The Princess and the Frog
10. Broken Embraces
09. 9
08. Sherlock Holmes
07. Funny People
06. Antichrist
05. The Road
04. The Informant
03. Inglorious Basterds
02. Avatar
01. Nine

  4. 1. The Road (Dying to see how book translates to screen)
    2. Where the Wild Things Are (Spike Jonze adds a whole new excitement to this)
    3. Antichrist (strangely attracted to the buzz surrounding it)
    4. Inglorious Basterds (Tarantino)
    5. Shutter Island (not a fan of Marty but this looks a departure from his usual form, Leo fan)
    6. Invictus (anything Clint touches is gold, imo)
    7. (500) Days of Summer (hoping it's more along the lines of the first, narrated trailer than the recent romcom ones)
    8. District 9 (love the promotional campaign)
    9. The Tempest (Shakespeare fan)
    10. The Lovely Bones (haven't read it but everyone I know is all about it)
