Best/Worst Movies of 2023

Ecno wrote:Favourite Film of the Year

Oppenheimer- I think this year had a decent amount of good films this year but this is the only one I've seen which I'd call great.

Honourable Mentions

The Fablemens- Perhaps a bit too self indulgent but I enjoyed it. Not one to watch on repeat though.
Renfeld
Spiderman Across the Spiderverse- 2nd half of this was really good, so high hopes for the sequel.

Most Disappointing Film of the Year

Super Mario Brothers- It was fine, a 6/10 but I was really hoping it would have been better.

Honourable Mentions

Asteroid City- I find Wes Anderson's film can be a bit hit or miss. French Dispatch is my favourite WA film, so was a bit disappointed that Asteroid City really wasn't very good.

Sisu- Managed to make a film about on old guy fighting Nazi's in the Finish Countryside dull somehow.

Ant Man 3- Was just a bit dull and I think the sign that I'm not bothered about keeping up with the Marvel films any more.

Most Surprising Film of the Year

Barbie- This was much better than I was expecting

Honourable Mentions

Women Talking- Almost forgot I'd watched this. Consider the title/premise I found it compelling.

Sleeper Hit of the Year

Renfeld- I really enjoyed this. It deserved to do better at the box office than it did.

Honourable Mentions

Cocaine Bear- The 80 minute film format lives on.

The Whale

Films I wish I saw at the cinema but haven't got around to seeing yet.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3
Dumb Money
