My 2023 in Movies


A still from Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon


After setting a personal record last year, and after being on a record pace for the first 3 months of 2023, I fell off quite a bit, largely due a bunch of weird events in my life all converging simultaneously during the summer. Going from a pace of 3-4 movies per week into April... down to 15 movies over a span of almost 4 months derailed my attempts at matching or exceeding last year's pace.

I logged 110 1st-time watches in 2023, and you can add 21 repeat watches to that list, for a total of 131 movies watched this year in total. 35 were released in 2023, with the remainder spanning from 1940 to 2022.

Let's get to it. A few spoilers, but nothing which should stop you from seeking anything below out (with one exception).
