Summer Movies the Stars are Excited to See

Matthew Broderick

('Then She Found Me')

"I should probably say 'Sex and the City.' I kind of want to see 'Iron Man' or maybe 'Indiana Jones.' I'm a blockbuster kind of guy. I talk smarty pants movies, but what I go see is crap. Not that any of these are crap ... popcorn movies."

Ben Barnes

('Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian')

"I'm a huge Robert Downey Jr. fan, so 'Iron Man,' definitely I'm excited about. And 'Indiana Jones' -- I think Shia LeBeouf is an amazing actor. And obviously everyone is excited to see 'The Dark Knight.' It's going to be a good summer, but I think I'm going to have to wear a hat in the cinema, with ours coming out at the same time."

Colin Firth

('Mamma Mia!')

"I'll probably go see the next 'Chronicles of Narnia' film. I've got quite small children -- a 7-year-old and a 4-year-old -- and I'm just now starting to get out again. I just worked with Ben Barnes [who plays Prince Caspian] in 'Easy Virtue,' an adaptation of a Noel Coward play. He's a brilliant actor."

Joan Cusack

('War, Inc.')

"With two little kids and trying to balance their schedules, hockey playoffs, first communions and working, I'm really not that up on it. I don't know yet."

Derek Luke

('Notorious B.I.G.')

"'Indiana Jones.' I remember 'Indiana Jones' growing up, but what I'm more of a fan of is Steven Spielberg and how he makes events out of movies."

America Ferrera

('Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2')

"I'm really, really excited about the Batman movie, 'The Dark Knight.' I love Batman and really enjoyed the other Batman movies."

Brittany Snow

('Prom Night')

"Probably 'Sisterhood 2.' I'm good friends with Blake Lively, and when she was doing that she was telling stories about it and it sounds really cute. I loved the first one, loved watching it with my girlfriends. It was sweet and sad. 'Get Smart' also looks so hilarious. Steve Carell is just right for the part."

Katherine Waterston

('The Babysitters')

"I'm definitely going to see the 'Sex and the City' movie. Cynthia Nixon is in our movie and I'll go see anything she is in -- and, like any woman, I want to see the clothes. I'm not usually a big blockbuster kind of person but I'm looking forward to 'Indiana Jones.' I grew up with 'Indiana Jones,' and with Cate Blanchett -- how could anyone miss that?"

Alicia Witt

('88 Minutes')

"I love 'Sex and the City.' Of course, I'll go to support Chris [Noth, her 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' co-star], but the truth is I also love the franchise. It's so perfect, so many real situations -- some horribly funny, some really tragic and gut-wrenching. Some of the scenarios could have happened to me or a friend of mine. They're instantly relatable."

Daryl Hannah

('The Poet')

"I'm not one for blockbusters. Most of the movies I like are independent films."

Richard Jenkins

('Step Brothers')

"I want to see 'Indiana Jones.' I'm a Steven Spielberg guy. I've worked with Harrison Ford and I really like him. I'm looking forward to that and 'Get Smart.' I've heard that's quite good, and Steve Carell's great. Oh, and 'Step Brothers' in July -- they'll kill me if I don't say that."

Famke Janssen

('The Wackness')

"I'm dying to see 'My Blueberry Nights,' the first English language film by Wong Kar-Wai. He's the Chinese filmmaker who did '2046' and 'In The Mood for Love,' and I love his work. Generally I'm not the type of person who likes the big budget type of event movies. 'Get Smart' is probably funny ... Steve Carell is so funny. I love him."

Judy Tenuta

('Material Girls')

"I cannot wait for 'Sex and the City.' I was a big fan of the series. How could I not be? Samantha ... could she keep her clothes on? She's the first flashing publicist! I hear in real life she [52-year-old Kim Cattrall] has a 28-year-old boyfriend. Good for her."

Faran Tahir

('Iron Man')

"Of course, 'Iron Man' -- not only because I'm in it, but also because I think it's kind of a superhero that you haven't seen before. When I used to read comics, I liked Iron Man because he wasn't somebody who became a superhero because of some freak accident. You feel like it's almost doable. After that I'd say 'Indiana Jones.' It's another classic story with a new spin on it."
