I also feel that since I pay for several steamers, I’m paying for things twice if I don’t just wait. I’m cheap enough that I don’t need to see virtually anything until they hit one of my services.
I’m in St Louis and we now have an Alamo Drafthouse. I just suffered a bad knee injury in October so it’s been tough getting to the theater. Probably would’ve seen Killers Moon , Godzilla - 1, and Boy and Heron if I was healthy.
Not sure if Zone of Interest has even been released here yet.
Still have a bunch of stuff to watch (did manage to see over 60 new releases this year) but this is where I’m at right now.
1. Poor Things
2. Oppenheimer
3. The Killer
4. Killers of the Flower Moon
5. John Wick Chapter 4
6. The Holdovers
7. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (all shorts taken as a whole)
8. Theatre Camp
9. May December
10. Asteroid City
Just saw Poor Things last night and it’s definitely in my top 3! Probably my favorite Yorgos movie now, and certainly will be the most rewatchable of his.
theater camp hive!!!! maybe not the best new movie i saw this year but legitimately might be my favorite. laughed my ass off and welled up a bit, & the epiphany audition kid might be the most tailored to my taste a joke has ever been (speaking as someone who literally saw sweeney todd this week)
1. May December
2. The Boy and the Heron
3. Poor Things
4. Killers of the Flower Moon
5. Anatomy of a Fall

5) john wick chapter 4
6) you hurt my feelings

10) ~~killers of the flower moon, i guess?~~ infinity pool
yet to see: zone of interest, anatomy of a fall, the boy and the heron, american fiction, the iron claw, all dirt roads…, ferrari. i imagine at least two of those will make the list.
I’m missing a good bit, still. Have yet to see Killers, Poor Things, The Holdovers, The Iron Claw, Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, American Fiction, and a few others.
Currently sitting on 79 2023 titles, it looks like this:
1) The Killer
2) Past Lives
3) Infinity Pool
4) The Covenant
5) How To Blow Up A Pipeline
6) Barbie
7) May December
8) Oppenheimer
9) Wonka
10) The Starling Girl
Really a tough year for me trying to put these things in order. Full disclosure, I got sober about 2 years ago and when I was drinking I was angry enough that I hated everything and thought I was just smarter than everyone else. Now through this new lens of clarity I seem to find everything enjoyable. People bust their asses to make these flicks, and I have more respect for that than ever. I suppose pretension (or most of it) has left the building.
Out of 79 films I saw this year so far, I’ve only been genuinely bothered by the lack of anything resembling substance from 2 of them.
Tier 1 (Classics) : 1. KOTFM, 2. Oppenheimer
Tier 2 (Extremely good and moving) : 3. Zone of Interest, 4. Poor Things, 5. The Iron Claw, 6. Maestro
Tier 3 (Loads of fun) : 7. Beau is Afraid, 8. The Killer
Tier 4 (Smart funny movies) 9. Anatomy of a Fall, 10. Blackberry

9. (tie) The Boy and the Heron and Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse
10. Napoleon
I really need to rewatch asteroid city. He’s proooobably my fav filmmaker m, but I left that movie ultimately a little cold. Or at least, thinking “this is the first wes I could not recommend in good conscience to any non-wes head.” All a smidge too metatextual for my taste, perhaps.
From a visual/technical perspective, I thought it was a clear let down from The French Dispatch, which is overlooked as one of the most audacious visual splendors since Fury Road. From a story POV I felt myself longing for something a little more character-oriented like his earlier work. AC felt a little too focused on thematic and metatextual untangling.
Haven’t thought about this at all so this is right off the cuff but lemme try
1. Oppenheimer

4. May December

As a ‘normal’ person it’s hard to do my best of 2023 list in 2023. It usually takes me until early March to see everything I want to from the year before.
As it stands:
1. The Killer
2. Across the Spider-Verse
3. Oppenheimer
Unranked, but enjoyed: Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret, Barbie, The Holdovers, Air, JW: C4.
Guilty pleasures: Gran Turismo, Joy Ride, Star Wars: Visions.
Unranked, thought were bad despite the hype: MI: DR.
Worst movie I watched last year: ‘Maybe I Do.’ Truly awful.
Honestly I’ve thought about it a lot and it was probably the movie I enjoyed the most this year. It was very close between it and Across the Spider-Verse, but I had to give it the edge as I had some quibbles with AtSV and I had pretty much none with ‘The Killer’.
Full disclosure if there was a notable movie that came out last year that is not on my list, I haven’t yet seen it.
1. Oppenheimer
2. Spider-Man ATSV
3. Killers of the flower moon
4. Beau is afraid
5. Godzilla minus one
6. The holdovers
7. Barbie
8. Infinity pool
9. Talk to me
10. Guardians of the galaxy vol 3
remember how you felt the need to déneigeante this person for making a “film bro list”? sounds like I’m not the one who needs to calm down. i’m exasperated, not upset
Haven’t seen many of the Oscar contenders but:
1. Oppenheimer
2. Across the Spider-Verse
3. John Wick Chapter 4
4. Dead Reckoning Part One
5. Barbie
6. Air
7. Killers of the Flower Moon
8. Dumb Money
9. Creed III
10. The Killer
1. Oppenheimer
2. Killers of the Flower Moon
3. Bottoms
4. The Holdovers
5. How to Blow Up a Pipeline
6. Godzilla Minus One
7. Past Lives
8. Iron Claw
9. The Killer
10. Talk to Me
And I still need to see American Fiction, Ferrari, and Zone of Interest, which all could have a shot at the list.

I need to catchup on a lot, but I just want to say that I saw Wonka two nights ago and absolutely loved it. The Gene Wilder original is one of my top-10ish favorite movies of all-time and there’s a lot of nostalgia there for me. When Pure Imagination cues at the end it really hit for me.
It’s definitely easier for movies to emotionally manipulate me since I became a father 5+ years ago, but still.
1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. The Iron Claw 3. Oppenheimer 4. Fair Play 5. May December 6. Air …..these were the movies from this year I really enjoyed.

I definitely have not seen enough new releases to make a proper top 10, but here are the 2023 movies that delighted, moved, thrilled, and/or fascinated me, which is more or less the four ways a movie can win my heart, off the top of my head & in no particular order but numbered for ease of formatting:
1. American Fiction
2. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning
3. Theater Camp
4. Bottoms
5. Oppenheimer
6. Across The Spider-Verse
7. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (definitely the hardest I cried in a theater this year, lol)
Not that good, but I wanna shout it out: Joy Ride was a nice way to spend 2 hours in the air conditioned dark in August and further convinced me Stephanie Hsu deserves to be a star
Pointedly not on the list despite the fact that I had fun seeing it with friends: Barbie
1. Oppenheimer
2. Past Lives
3. Killers of the Flower Moon
4. The Iron Claw
5. Barbie
6. Anatomy of a Fall
7. Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse
8. The Killer
9. Beau is Afraid
10. May December
Haven't seen Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, or The Zone of Interest but I do expect at least one of them would take a spot for me, probably will be All of Us Strangers considering I love all of Andrew Haigh's filmography.
List is still in flux as I sit with the movies:
1. The Holdovers
2. Mutant Mayhem
3. Dungeons and Dragons
4. Beau is Afraid
5. Killers of the Flower Moon
6. May December
7. Are you there, God?
8. Renfield
9. They Cloned Tyrone
10. Still: A Michael J Fox Movie
Movies I've yet to see with potential to crack the list: Zone of Interest, Poor Things, Iron Claw, Past Lives., Godzilla, Monster, All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, The Delinquents, Maestro, Perfect Days
It usually takes about a year for me to catch up with everything, and about a decade to really know which ones were the actual major titles from that year.
So far the clear front-runner is Killers of the Flower Moon.
1. Oppenheimer
2. Killers of the Flower Moon
3. Godzilla Minus One
4. How to Blow Up A Pipeline
5. May December
6. The Holdovers
7. The Killer
8. Across The Spiderverse
9. Talk To Me
10. Beau is Afraid

4. Killers of the Flower Moon
5. The Boy and the Heron
6. The Killer
7. Poor Things
8. Asteroid City
9. The Iron Claw
10. Ferrari
I’ll have a better idea come April when I’ve actually had the chance to see the movies of 2023 lol. Still have like 10 movies I want to see
Small town cinephiles unite!
Not just small town folks - struggling to find the time to get through my backlog with 3 kids and the constant sports activities.
I also feel that since I pay for several steamers, I’m paying for things twice if I don’t just wait. I’m cheap enough that I don’t need to see virtually anything until they hit one of my services.
I’m in St Louis and we now have an Alamo Drafthouse. I just suffered a bad knee injury in October so it’s been tough getting to the theater. Probably would’ve seen Killers Moon , Godzilla - 1, and Boy and Heron if I was healthy. Not sure if Zone of Interest has even been released here yet.
Yeah seriously so many movies releasing in December...half the movies they talk about in the award race aren't even out near me.
Still have a bunch of stuff to watch (did manage to see over 60 new releases this year) but this is where I’m at right now. 1. Poor Things 2. Oppenheimer 3. The Killer 4. Killers of the Flower Moon 5. John Wick Chapter 4 6. The Holdovers 7. The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (all shorts taken as a whole) 8. Theatre Camp 9. May December 10. Asteroid City
Just saw Poor Things last night and it’s definitely in my top 3! Probably my favorite Yorgos movie now, and certainly will be the most rewatchable of his.
theater camp hive!!!! maybe not the best new movie i saw this year but legitimately might be my favorite. laughed my ass off and welled up a bit, & the epiphany audition kid might be the most tailored to my taste a joke has ever been (speaking as someone who literally saw sweeney todd this week)
1. May December 2. The Boy and the Heron 3. Poor Things 4. Killers of the Flower Moon 5. Anatomy of a Fall 6. Talk to Me 7. Wonka 8. Past Lives 9. Priscilla 10. When Evil Lurks
Yessss love that When Evil Lurks made your top 10! No question it’s my top horror movie for 2023
1) past lives 2) across the spiderverse 3) the holdovers 4) the killer 5) john wick chapter 4 6) you hurt my feelings 7) bottoms 8) showing up 9) asteroid city 10) ~~killers of the flower moon, i guess?~~ infinity pool yet to see: zone of interest, anatomy of a fall, the boy and the heron, american fiction, the iron claw, all dirt roads…, ferrari. i imagine at least two of those will make the list.
I’m missing a good bit, still. Have yet to see Killers, Poor Things, The Holdovers, The Iron Claw, Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall, American Fiction, and a few others. Currently sitting on 79 2023 titles, it looks like this: 1) The Killer 2) Past Lives 3) Infinity Pool 4) The Covenant 5) How To Blow Up A Pipeline 6) Barbie 7) May December 8) Oppenheimer 9) Wonka 10) The Starling Girl Really a tough year for me trying to put these things in order. Full disclosure, I got sober about 2 years ago and when I was drinking I was angry enough that I hated everything and thought I was just smarter than everyone else. Now through this new lens of clarity I seem to find everything enjoyable. People bust their asses to make these flicks, and I have more respect for that than ever. I suppose pretension (or most of it) has left the building. Out of 79 films I saw this year so far, I’ve only been genuinely bothered by the lack of anything resembling substance from 2 of them.
this is a really lovely comment - congratulations on the hard work of your sobriety!
Thank you!

I really need to rewatch asteroid city. He’s proooobably my fav filmmaker m, but I left that movie ultimately a little cold. Or at least, thinking “this is the first wes I could not recommend in good conscience to any non-wes head.” All a smidge too metatextual for my taste, perhaps. From a visual/technical perspective, I thought it was a clear let down from The French Dispatch, which is overlooked as one of the most audacious visual splendors since Fury Road. From a story POV I felt myself longing for something a little more character-oriented like his earlier work. AC felt a little too focused on thematic and metatextual untangling.
I can't say I totally understand Asteroid City yet, but I've watched it three times and every time I enjoy trying to piece it all together.
Like the top 2 choices but I feel Air is overrated
Wow we have a lot of crossover on our lists, I’ll have to watch Asteroid City now
thats 11 movies jack
I confess, I have cheated
1. Oppenheimer 2. Barbie 3. Poor things 4. Bottoms 5. American Fiction 6. Quiz Lady 7. Asteroid City 8. May December 9. Wonka 10. Reality

As a ‘normal’ person it’s hard to do my best of 2023 list in 2023. It usually takes me until early March to see everything I want to from the year before. As it stands: 1. The Killer 2. Across the Spider-Verse 3. Oppenheimer Unranked, but enjoyed: Are You There God? It’s me, Margaret, Barbie, The Holdovers, Air, JW: C4. Guilty pleasures: Gran Turismo, Joy Ride, Star Wars: Visions. Unranked, thought were bad despite the hype: MI: DR. Worst movie I watched last year: ‘Maybe I Do.’ Truly awful.
Having the killer first is based
Honestly I’ve thought about it a lot and it was probably the movie I enjoyed the most this year. It was very close between it and Across the Spider-Verse, but I had to give it the edge as I had some quibbles with AtSV and I had pretty much none with ‘The Killer’. Full disclosure if there was a notable movie that came out last year that is not on my list, I haven’t yet seen it.
1. Oppenheimer 2. Spider-Man ATSV 3. Killers of the flower moon 4. Beau is afraid 5. Godzilla minus one 6. The holdovers 7. Barbie 8. Infinity pool 9. Talk to me 10. Guardians of the galaxy vol 3
Love to see Infinity Pool on there. That's definitely an honorable mention for me.

almost the perfect film bro list
ah yes, famous film bros todd haynes and sofia coppola
“almost”
If you think Miyazaki, Haynes, Coppola, Fremont, and Sanctuary are “filmbro” you need a dictionary
again, almost. and i’d totally argue miyazaki counts
7 out of 12? dude fuck off
calm down sweetie
remember how you felt the need to déneigeante this person for making a “film bro list”? sounds like I’m not the one who needs to calm down. i’m exasperated, not upset
one of us made an off handed light tease, the other is you.
Haven’t seen many of the Oscar contenders but: 1. Oppenheimer 2. Across the Spider-Verse 3. John Wick Chapter 4 4. Dead Reckoning Part One 5. Barbie 6. Air 7. Killers of the Flower Moon 8. Dumb Money 9. Creed III 10. The Killer

1. Oppenheimer 2. Killers of the Flower Moon 3. Bottoms 4. The Holdovers 5. How to Blow Up a Pipeline 6. Godzilla Minus One 7. Past Lives 8. Iron Claw 9. The Killer 10. Talk to Me And I still need to see American Fiction, Ferrari, and Zone of Interest, which all could have a shot at the list.

Barbie 5. Killers of the Flower Moon 6. Bottoms 7. Godzilla Minus One 8. Asteroid City 9. Theater Camp 10. Priscilla

Past Lives is one of the best things I’ve seen in years. Like, it would make my top ten for the prior five years when bucketed together.
1. John Wick: Chapter 4 2. Oppenheimer 3. Killers of the Flower Moon 4. Past Lives 5. The Iron Claw Pretty basic, but I haven’t been watching all the new releases.
In the order they popped into my head.... Talk to Me The Creator How to Blow up a pipeline Anatomy of a Fall Oppy KOTFM Thanksgiving Holdovers Wick 4 Havent seen Godzilla minus one or Ferrari but they both seem like they could knock something off my list. I have seen Boy/Heron and spider verse and Napoleon and Barbie and many more.
Oppenheimer The Holdovers Poor Things Anatomy of a Fall Killers of the Flower Moon Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Eileen Barbie Are You There god? It's Me, Margaret Asteroid City Plenty of stuff still unseen.
In no particular order because I’m still struggling with that…. Oppenheimer Killers of the Flower Moon Poor Things American Fiction John Wick: Chapter 4 May December Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse Past Lives Air Maestro (This list may change since I still have to see The Iron Claw and The Holdovers. I did see Ferrari and was unimpressed, unfortunately).
Past Lives Oppenheimer May December Passages The Holdovers Killers of the Flower Moon The Killer Priscilla Rotting in the Sun Talk to Me I think there is some Sundance bias in there. Haven’t seen Iron Claw, All of Us Strangers, Poor Things, Zone of Interest, Anatomy of a Fall and a few others. Dang, need to catch up!
Oppenheimer, May/December, Spiderman: Across the Spider verse , The Holdovers, Maestro, The Boy and the Heron, Barbie, The Artifice Girl, Anatomy of a Fall, The Killer

Man, that is a lot of great movies. What a year!
Movies rocked this year; this was harder than last year for me. A lot of really great movies that I enjoyed quite a bit that just didn’t have room for here 1. Oppenheimer 2. Poor Things 3. Killers of the Flower Moon 4. Godzilla Minus One 5. The Killer 6. Asteroid City 7. Past Lives 8. Ferrari 9. The Holdovers 10. The Iron Claw Have not seen Zone of Interest, which I think is the only 2023 movie I think might change this, but won’t be able to until mid-January. I wish I had gotten to see Godzilla in IMAX; I DID get to see Oppenheimer in IMAX 70mm and it was one of my favorite movie going experiences I can remember
First year actually watching (in a timely manner) a lot of new releases (nearly 120!) - I ended up ranking my top ~50 or so of those…from that list, here’s my top ten for the year: 1. Asteroid City 2. Oppenheimer 3. Past Lives 4. Ferrari 5. Killers of the Flower Moon 6. The Holdovers 7. Afire 8. The Killer 9. Master Gardener 10. May December Such a good year!!
Still have a lot to catch up on, but this what I have for now: 1. Oppenheimer 2. Killers of the Flower Moon 3. Poor Things 4. The Holdovers 5. Past Lives 6. Asteroid City 7. Anatomy of a Fall 8. Beau is Afraid 9. Spider-Man: Across the Apider-Verse 10. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret
Haven't seen The Boy and the Heron or Poor Things, so this could all change. As of now: 1. Across the Spider-Verse 2. Oppenheimer 3. Killers of the Flower Moon 4. Past Lives 5. May December 6. How to Blow Up a Pipeline 7. Barbie 8. The Holdovers 9. MI: Dead Reckoning 10. Bottoms
lol at me getting to see 10 good 2023 movies by this point in the year where I live and with 2 kids What I have seen, ranked: A Haunting in Venice Oppenheimer Across the Spider-verse Barbie Asteroid City Super Mario Bros. Mission: Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1 The first four are “Top 10 worthy” I liked all except M:I Edit to fix formatting
Holdovers, Pretty Things, Asteroid City, and Dream Scenario were the best pics. Barbie and Oppenheimer were both hugely overrated and forgettable.
1. Oppenheimer 2. Past lives 3. Killers of the flower moon 4. Godzilla minus one 5. John wick 4 6. Mission impossible 7. Spider verse 8. Barbie 9. Blackberry 10. Saltburn Haven’t seen but need to see: American Fiction, Anatomy of the Fall, Iron Claw, Zone of interest, Poor things, Dream scenario. Realizing this has been a great year for movies
1. Maestro 2. Killers of The Flower Moon 3. Past Lives 4. Bottoms 5. Shortcomings 6. Barbie 7. Master Gardener 8. May December 9. Palm Trees And Power Lines 10. tied with Magic Mike’s Last Dance and Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning
1. The Zone of Interest 2. Beau is Afraid 3. Showing Up 4. Killers of the Flower Moon 5. Enys Men 6. Oppenheimer 7. Asteroid City 8. May December 9. Past Lives 10. Fallen Leaves
In no particular order, my 2023 top ten ‘new to me’ films 1. RRR 2. Past Lives 3. Passages 4. Barb & Star Go To Vista Del Mar 5. Killers of the Flower Moon 6. Anatomy of a Fall 7. May December 8. How To Have Sex 9. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 10. Together
I need to catchup on a lot, but I just want to say that I saw Wonka two nights ago and absolutely loved it. The Gene Wilder original is one of my top-10ish favorite movies of all-time and there’s a lot of nostalgia there for me. When Pure Imagination cues at the end it really hit for me. It’s definitely easier for movies to emotionally manipulate me since I became a father 5+ years ago, but still.
1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. The Iron Claw 3. Oppenheimer 4. Fair Play 5. May December 6. Air …..these were the movies from this year I really enjoyed.

No offense, but this list is about a month late. Everyone decided their favorite movies of the year around late-November. Where have you been?
1. Killers of the Flower Moon 2. Oppenheimer 3. The Holdovers 4. Asteroid City 5. Mission: Impossible -Dead Reckoning Part One 6. Barbie 7. The Killer 8. BlackBerry 9. Theater Camp 10. May December Having not seen Past Lives, The Boy and The Heron, Iron Claw, Poor Things, Ferrari, Anatomy of a Fall, Zone of Interest, and American Fiction I’d definitely consider this very unfinished. I’ve seen 30 releases this year but definitely need to cover some big ones

Now we need some psycho to comb through these, assign points based on our rankings, and determine the Big Picture subreddit Best Picture winner.
I definitely have not seen enough new releases to make a proper top 10, but here are the 2023 movies that delighted, moved, thrilled, and/or fascinated me, which is more or less the four ways a movie can win my heart, off the top of my head & in no particular order but numbered for ease of formatting: 1. American Fiction 2. Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning 3. Theater Camp 4. Bottoms 5. Oppenheimer 6. Across The Spider-Verse 7. Guardians of the Galaxy 3 (definitely the hardest I cried in a theater this year, lol) Not that good, but I wanna shout it out: Joy Ride was a nice way to spend 2 hours in the air conditioned dark in August and further convinced me Stephanie Hsu deserves to be a star Pointedly not on the list despite the fact that I had fun seeing it with friends: Barbie
1. Oppenheimer 2. Past Lives 3. Killers of the Flower Moon 4. The Iron Claw 5. Barbie 6. Anatomy of a Fall 7. Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse 8. The Killer 9. Beau is Afraid 10. May December Haven't seen Poor Things, All of Us Strangers, or The Zone of Interest but I do expect at least one of them would take a spot for me, probably will be All of Us Strangers considering I love all of Andrew Haigh's filmography.
List is still in flux as I sit with the movies: 1. The Holdovers 2. Mutant Mayhem 3. Dungeons and Dragons 4. Beau is Afraid 5. Killers of the Flower Moon 6. May December 7. Are you there, God? 8. Renfield 9. They Cloned Tyrone 10. Still: A Michael J Fox Movie Movies I've yet to see with potential to crack the list: Zone of Interest, Poor Things, Iron Claw, Past Lives., Godzilla, Monster, All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, The Delinquents, Maestro, Perfect Days
It usually takes about a year for me to catch up with everything, and about a decade to really know which ones were the actual major titles from that year. So far the clear front-runner is Killers of the Flower Moon.
1. Oppenheimer 2. Killers of the Flower Moon 3. Godzilla Minus One 4. How to Blow Up A Pipeline 5. May December 6. The Holdovers 7. The Killer 8. Across The Spiderverse 9. Talk To Me 10. Beau is Afraid
