Edit: Even if there is a SHH community-wide 'most anticipated films of 2016' list thread, this gives us all a read on most anticipated films for regular posters in the BvS forum.
The Collider video about their staff's composite top 20 most anticipated films of 2016 got me thinking about where folks here at SHH place BvS. On this board I'm sure BvS will be very high, if not almost universally number one. But I'm curious also what other films those eager who are to see BvS are also expecting to enjoy, and where they rate their desire to see them.

You can list as many films as you like, and it doesn't have to be just CBMs.
Here's my list:
1) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - I've never been more stoked to see a film in my entire life. Zack Snyder is truly a visionary and a master filmmaker of his time (300, Watchmen, and MoS are all masterworks to me). I'm loving everything I'm seeing about this film from the trailers and interviews. BvS's first full length trailer is the best one I can ever recall seeing (not that I have paid attention to trailers much at all prior to the last 2 years or so).
2) Captain America: Civil War - I can't wait to see how this story is brought to life by the Russo Brothers*
3) X-Men: Apocalypse - see comments below**
4) Star Trek: Beyond - love the Abrams' reboots (I can forgive their flaws), and its great with me that Beyond seems to focus heavily on adventure and character chemistry--b/c that's exactly what I've always loved most about the TOS TV series to begin with (I really could care less if it makes social commentary)
5) Dr. Strange - this thing should be a wild trip--and what a cast!
6) Rogue One: A Star Wars Story - I'm way more of a Star Trek fan than Star Wars fan, but TFA was pretty damn awesome, so I expect this film to keep all that great momentum going
7) Independence Day 2: despite Will Smith not returning I have high hopes that this should be great fun
8) Suicide Squad - maybe it's because I don't know these characters (except for the Joker), but I haven't felt any connection at all to this yet--I hope that I'll be blown away and love it, b/c I do want to be entertained
9) Deadpool - same thing as above for SS--I don't know the character, and nothing I've seen in the trailers has gotten me psyched to see it; again, here too hoping that it will blow me away, though
10) Tarzan (reboot) - the Christopher Lambert version was strangely intriguing and if this film runs with that basic approach successfully it has potential to be good in an offbeat way
11) Prometheus 2 - I have a lot of criticisms of Prometheus but it was a feast visually, and I really liked Noomi Rapace and Michael Fassbender in it, so I want to see the Alien series prequel story continue. Also Ridley Scott just knocked one out of the park with The Martian (and The Martian uses an excellent science-based approach whereas Prometheus fails spectacularly in the science realism aspect).
12) Gambit - I don't know the character, but its a CBM that many fans seem very excited to see, so I'm hoping I'll like it as much as everyone seems to be looking forward to it
* I'm eager to see Civil War, and expect it to be great. But the one trailer we have thus far didn't really give me any goosebumps. That said, though, it looks like it may be a surprisingly personal story about relationships within the Avengers versus a grand, epic spectacular, and I'm looking forward to that.
** I think the Apocalypse trailer is fantastic! Oscar Isaac sounds (literally, judging from his voice narration) like he will be incredible as the titular character. I love the younger X-Men reboot cast, and James McAvoy in particular looks like he will continue his excellent work as Charles. I'm not familiar with the story, but I'm definitely going to purchase the comic book series about it.

Even amongst an embarrassment of riches with all these great films coming out next year, who that regularly posts on this board would not rate it at number one!
