I made a Top 10 list this year, something I don’t always do. I just felt like I had an easier time ranking movies this year and there were some clear stand-outs that were exceptional. As always, there are movies I have yet to see. I’ve seen only 70 movies released in 2023. The best were:

When Evil Lurks was the best movie I saw this year and if you have yet to see it, you should. It was absolutely stunning, shocking, and gripping from beginning to end. I was kind of blown away.

I started this thread. I hadn’t seen yours. I don’t know if a mod wants to merge them.

> Looking back this was an overall pretty weak year for movies. Even most of the ones I liked were just pretty good. Here’s my top three for the year. Godzilla Minus One Oppenheimer Dungeons & Dragons Honor Among Thieves I didn’t see every big movie (Barbie for example). The new Spider verse would probably be my number four but even that was good but not great unlike the first one. Same with Guardians of the Galaxy 3. Good but not great. What did you think?

I prefer your OP, which doesn’t limit the list. I have at least a dozen movies I consider the “top” of my 2023 viewing and I expect to see at least 3 of the following before the end of the year (from the trailers I’ve seen, some of these could end up very high on my list), so I won’t post until the end of next week.

**The Crime is Mine**  
**The Teacher’s Lounge**  
**Memory**  
**Ferrari**  
**All of Us Strangers**

So, if they are to be merged, please merge into your thread.
