Hmm, I think I'll concur with backyardlegos on this one. I just wanna make something big that'll be remembered like America: Outlawed or Mirrored Perspective, or The Magic Portal. Something that moves brickfilming "up a notch on the totem pole".
I just want to make something that people would look back on and remember. Maybe look back on an example of one of the great brickfilms. I never really started thinking this until 2011, when I started scripting Double 0 Bacon, before that I just thought of it as a pass-time to make short humorous flicks.
Other than what most of you already said, which is making something memorable (and I'd add ambitious too), my goal is pretty much to go beyond brickfilming.
I don't want to just make films with lego, I want to make explore other techniques, like clay, puppets, drawings, flash (the last one is already happening), even 3D/computer animation, which, actually is the technique I find least interesting right now, but still worth exploring.
To be honest, I'm getting interested in many aspects of filmmaking: acting, direction, editing, scriptwriting.
So, that.

I wouldn't be surprised if a decent number of the people here end up in film, although I won't be one of them. 
I've tried 2D animation myself last month. With Toon Boom then with Crazy Talk Animator Pro (which is probably the best software to begin your 2d career) but I just really suck at drawing characters, I can easily animate them and stuff it's easy (in Crazy Talk animator it's super-easy) but I just can't draw 
Mmmmm, double bacon.
Anyways, I would love to learn to stick with a project, even when I lose interest. Or make a film that is longer than 3 minutes. Also, making a memorable film would be nice.
To tell a story.
To improve to the point I can do some professional work for people. (Did some political videos during the last election, not very good, but I did them for free...)
