What were your single most anticipated films of previous years (not necessarily favorite), and how far back can you remember? Even when you were a kid, can you think of what single movie you were looking forward to most in a given year, regardless of whether or not the movie ended up being good?
My list is pretty basic overall, and some of the earlier films are funny in retrospect:
2018 - Ad Astra
2017 - Dunkirk
2016 - The Handmaiden
2015 - Spectre
2014 - Interstellar
2013 - 12 Years a Slave
2012 - The Dark Knight Rises
2011 - The Tree of Life
2010 - Inception
2009 - The Road
2008 - The Dark Knight
2007 - Spider-Man 3
2006 - Casino Royale
2005 - Batman Begins
2004 - Spider-Man 2
2003 - The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
2002 - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
2001 - Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
2000 - Snow Day
1999 - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
1998 - The Mask of Zorro
1997 - George of the Jungle
1996 - Space Jam
That's about as far back as I can remember being actually excited to see a movie prior to its release (seeing TV spots, trailers, etc)

2017 - Star Wars: The Last Jedi (9.5/10)
2018 - Mary Poppins Returns (that remains to be seen)

2015- Steve Jobs, Brooklyn, or Spectre
2014- Grand Budapest Hotel
2013- The Great Gatsby
2012- Lincoln or Skyfall

Prior to that I didn't really follow the movie industry closely enough to know what was coming out more than a month in advance at most.
