With the New Year knocking on the door here in the United States, The Guardian looks ahead to the most widely-anticipated films of 2012. I’m already geeked for the release of “The Dark Knight Rises,” “Man of Steel” and even the Baz Luhrman-directed adaptation of “The Great Gatsby.”

But included in The Guardian’s rundown are some that I’d forgotten about, including “Iron Lady,” the Meryl Streep-starring biopic of former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and even “The Hunger Games,” with Jennifer Lawrence in the lead.
