When it comes to Hunger Games sneak peeks, we can’t really complain. We’ve gotten two awesome trailers and a bunch of promotional posters and movie stills. But what about clips? We’ve yet to see a substantial amount of the film and we’re just about a month away. But which part are fans most eager to see? In their Hunger Games’ Countdown feature, Movies.com asked The Hob and other fansites which clips they think should be the first. Here’s what we came up with:

There are so many scenes that have an emotional impactand those are the ones I look forward to seeing: Rue’s sacrifice, the internal strength of character we see in Thresh and, the one I most look forward to, the startling image of Katniss in her Girl on Fire dress. This costume symbolizes her awakening – an internal recognition of her as “the girl on fire” that ultimately impacts how she reacts in the final scene with Rue and life in the arena overall. I think Jennifer Lawrence is going to be a major star from just that one moment and I’m just hoping we get close-ups so you can see Katniss’ fear, resolve and defiance. If Gary Ross puts a close-up on her, we’ll get to see it all; we’ll see, through the camera lens, what is happening to her on the inside.

One scene from The Hunger Games movie I’d love to see a clip from is just before the chariot ride. We’ve already seen photos of Katniss and Peeta in their “Girl (and Boy) on Fire” outfits before they’re actually set on fire, and the clip could cut away before Cinna actually lights them on fire. That would give fans a huge treat, set up a major desire to see the film, and offer up a taste of the movie without giving away anything major. I think it would be a very savvy marketing move on Lionsgate’s part to release a short clip from that scene. It wouldn’t give away any new imagery, but would give us a longer look at dialogue between Katniss, Peeta, and Cinna while whetting our appetites for more.
