Hello, everyone! With the year of 2024 in full swing, it’s time to exam the “worst” and “best” movies of the year. It took me a little bit longer than expected to get this particular list done (longer than intended due to my back catalogue of 2023 movie reviews that needed to get done), but here we are and I’m happy to share it. In truth, 2023 saw a number of pretty “good” films.

I’ve already posted my list for my Top 10 Worst Movies of 2023 and now I’m ready to share with my list for what were the best movies of the 2023 year. Whether the source material was solid (original or adapted), clever writing, great direction, visually impressive presentation, creative world building, great thematic / messages, superb performances, or even well-drawn-out characters, these movies were (at least to me) the “best of the best” of the year. But before I begin with number 10, take a look at some honorable runners-ups that almost made it on my top ten best movies of 2023.
