What stands out about the 2023 cinematic year in retrospect perhaps even more now than did it 8 months ago is just how fucking special it is. Odds are if you really love movies and go through the list of 2023 releases, you'll find double digit titles that you really love. That's a rare phenomenon that becomes even more impressive when you consider that several notable titles that were originally set to release last fall including Dune: Part Two, Challengers and The Bikeriders got bumped to this year on account of the SAG strike.
On account of all the excellence that 2023 delivered and the titles I saw from mid-January on being pretty middling overall, there wasn't much change at any juncture of the list from the posting of my year-end movie recap to now. Toplining the change that did happen was Poor Things shooting up to the top 3 after a rewatch in March, Blackberry losing considerable ground as I've further reconciled with just how overrated it is and the crowning of a new worst movie of the year! Below, you'll find my updated list of every 2023 film I've seen ranked from worst to best with grades. Hopefully this list inspires to you check something out or at least fills you with enough contempt or disdain to remember that you've read it. Enjoy my friends.
