My Best of 2023: My Top 10 Films!

Finally! It’s time for My Top 10 Films of 2023! 2023 was another weird year for me in terms of film. As usual, I had a few I championed, but, yet again, a lot of the big guns didn't land the way I'd expected or hoped. As a quick reminder - My Top 10 Films isn’t necessarily a list of the ‘best’, or ‘my favorite’, but rather a mix of the two that takes both sides of the A&E into as equal consideration as humanly possible. Definitely keep that in mind, especially the fact that how re-watchable each film is weighs in significantly. So, in terms of all that, this list nails my 2023.

First, here are some Honorable Mentions (in no real order), most of which spent at least a little time in the Top 10: Jonathan Glazer's The Zone of Interest (which really deserves that 10 spot, but it's about as far from re-watchable as it gets); David Fincher's The Killer; Sofia Coppola's Priscilla; Kelly Fremon Craig's Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.; and Takashi Yamazaki's Godzilla Minus One. Any of these could easily claim that 10 spot on another day. As for Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon? Sorry, y'all, but it barely cracked my Top 20. No matter how incredibly well-made it was, it was still a solid hour too long. And worst of all, it felt it!

Okay, without further ado, here they are…

My Top 10 Films of 2023!!

10. Danny & Michael Philippou's Talk to Me

Damn. This was fantastic. I’m still really pissed I missed it in cinemas. Such a super creepy, perfectly executed premise fueled by surprisingly good performances and genuinely terrifying moments, throughout. I especially love that it never heavily relies on jump-scares and just how brutal these spirits get. The desperation and hopelessness of the third act is just the cherry on top.

9. Greta Gerwig's Barbie

Hilarious. Bold. Heartwarming. And not at all subtle. Margot is perfection, which doesn’t always work in the film’s favor, but it knows and acknowledges that, and becomes more interesting by doing so. Gosling is hilarious and interesting and delivers one of the most absurdly audacious performances of the year. Gerwig’s vision, here, is dazzling not only in its use of practical effects, but also its brazen approach to the film’s message.

8. Christopher McQuarrie's Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1

Tom Cruise is out here doing the important work in a time when said important work is more essential than ever. This is a big-screen spectacle of an action film with exciting fights and chases and stunts that get more and more impressive, wild and outlandish throughout. As to be expected from the franchise, the cast all deliver rock-solid performances, and McQuarrie’s work behind the camera is every bit as good as Fallout, despite Fallout still probably being the better of the two films, overall. The plot, action, and editing here are all perfectly intense, working beautifully together to create a truly jaw-dropping piece of action cinema. Once again Cruise and friends prove decisively that popcorn flicks can be art, too, folks. Big, loud, crazy, fun art. So damn good.

7. James Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3

Loved it. Every single moment is earned. The needle drops get better and better and build up to a joyous, cathartic, downright amazing moment at the end. James Gunn directs the hell out of his pitch-perfect script, allowing these characters to evolve in a manner as interesting as it is entertaining as it is organic. The Winter Soldier is still the best single film in the MCU, but this trilogy is its heart and soul. Finally… Cosmo is such a Good Dog.

6. Wes Anderson's Asteroid City

There’s good reason why Wes Anderson is one of my very favorite living directors. Asteroid City is a fine example of pretty much all of them. It’s visually stunning (How the f*ck did that production design not get nominated?!) , superbly acted, and written with as much quirky humor as it is raw emotion as it is perfectly balanced existentialism. I may still not quite be fully sold on the framing device, but all-in-all, this is a purely Andersonian oddity, and I loved every minute of it. Plus, I really want to be friends with that roadrunner.

5. Alexander Payne's The Holdovers

Genuinely hilarious and sneakily heartfelt. The tender moments play out so naturally that they pack an emotional wallop, then the brilliant Paul Giamatti or Da'Vine Joy Randolph lets out a perfectly delivered line that’ll absolutely floor you. And I just love the look of it, every single piece of this film looks and feels like it’s straight out of the ‘70s. So good. Probably my favorite Payne?

4. Yorgos Lanthimos' Poor Things

Despite being significantly overlong, Lanthimos' Poor Things is still just so damn good. I hate that Emma Stone’s odds are going down, as she delivers what will likely remain a favorite ‘til the end of the decade. Mark Ruffalo is also a blast, and is very much the upset I'm hoping for most come March 10. I honestly didn’t think he still had a performance like this in him. Dafoe is magnificently weird, and every time he graced the screen was a treat. Yorgos went off, here. This is probably his best work yet. It’s also one of the most visually interesting films of the year. I absolutely loved how this movie was shot. And it’s very easily better than the book. So, y’know, there’ that too.

3. Dos Santos, Powers & Thompson's Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

A masterful amalgamation of animation styles, narrative ideas and next-level voice performances. As visually breathtaking as it is emotionally ambitious as it is structurally exciting and entertaining. This is the exact type of comic book movie that still has me excited for comic book movies.

2. Wes Anderson's The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar & Three More

I'm kinda cheating, here, as this is technically a collection four individually released short films, and not the originally planned anthology feature. But I don't care. These are all fantastic; masterclasses in adaptation, blocking, production design and acting, the lot of 'em. I want so badly for Wes Anderson to just adapt Dahl's entire bibliography. Head HERE for my full thoughts.

And The Best Film of 2023 is…

1. Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer

A truly staggering achievement. As ambitious and bold a biopic as we’ve gotten in a very long time. Nolan understands the mechanics of this man and his story in a way that's so philosophically nuanced, and directs scene-after-scene of characters discussing physics and politics in a that makes it edge-of-your-seat shit.

Thank you for reading!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

Guardians of the Galaxy was good. Long - some bits I think could have been shaved down and some parts were a bit too cheesy. I felt Nebula’s line “This was worse then what Thanos did to me” was unnecessary. Rocket and her were both tortured there’s no need to compare the two or downplay what she went through. There were also three instances where characters were close to death then they went PSYCH and they were okay. I guess only women permanently die in the MCU (except Yondu). They also didn’t seem to know what to do with Adam half the time which seems to be a waste of William Poulter’s talent. The line “I thought we were only saving higher life forms” “Me too.” Should have been replaced with “We are.” I sobbed during the animal experimentation scenes because those are definitely things that unfortunately happen in real life. All in all 7/10.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3

Summary: The gang embark on a double mission: to cure Rocket (Bradley Cooper) after he is seriously injured, and protect him from the High Evolutionary (Chukwudi Iwuji).

Much darker, edgier, bloodier, and gorier than previous instalments. Second act kind of bloated and overloaded. Cosmo obviously best character.

Rating: 3.5/5

I know you play like you're the meanest and the hardest but actually you're the most scared of all. I know you steal batteries you don't need, and you push away anyone who's willing to put up with you because just a little bit of love reminds you how big and empty that hole inside you actually is.

I just realized why Rocket gets so pissed at Drax for nearly getting them all killed for revenge in volume 1

He blames himself for not taking Floor and Teefs and just running after Lylla got shot.

"That's no excuse to get everyone else dead along the way" he says, recalling that when he took revenge for one friend it led to two more dying.

My Week in Reviews: May 6, 2023

Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 3 (James Gunn, 2023)

Loved it.

Every single moment is earned. The needle drops get better and better and build to a joyous, cathartic and downright amazing moment at the end. James Gunn directs the hell out of his pitch-perfect script, allowing these characters to evolve in a manner as interesting as it is entertaining as it is organic. Especially Rocket, duh. And the new characters fit right in; Adam Warlock is a hilarious pain-in-the-ass, Cosmo is awesome (she is a Good Dog), this version of Gamora plays great in the context of this story, and The High Evolutionary makes for one of the very best MCU villains, to date. The visuals are everything Quantumania's failed to be; exciting, well-rendered and so delightfully weird. It has a hallway fight that rivals just about beats Daredevil’s. The Winter Soldier is still the best single MCU film, but this trilogy is the MCU’s heart and soul. Each has been better than the one it follows. It's treated its cast of characters with humor and respect while serving the actors plenty of strange and badass material, throughout. Waititi should watch and takes notes on the character growth in these films. I'll be going to see this again as soon as possible. I really hate that it's over... I want to go on ten more misadventures with these assholes. Kevin Feige has made some questionable and straight-up bad moves throughout Phase Four, but the worst by far was losing Gunn to DC.

Seriously, though... Cosmo is such a Good Dog. - 10/10

Beau is Afraid (Ari Aster, 2023)

Too long. The first and final acts are fantastic, and conjure and explore Beau's fear and guilt in a way that's as unnerving as it is authentic in its deep-rooted understanding. The second and third acts meander, and despite several truly absurd, uncomfortably hilarious moments, should've been trimmed by a solid 70%. The cast is great, and commit to even the most bizarre moments throughout. Aster's direction is suffocating in its barrage of the uncomfortable and unsettling moments with which he incessantly assaults Beau. It's an interesting movie with wild ideas and equally strange execution, but it all comes down to this... It's just way too fucking long. - 6.5/10

Enjoy!

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.

okay so GOTG Vol 3 is great all round but my new favourite canonical piece of MCU information is that rocket the raccoon, a literal genius who can build anything from anything and escape any prison he’s put in, who would get viscerally angry at people who called him a raccoon. didn’t get angry because he thought he was more than a simple animal he genuinely did not fucking know he was a goddamn raccoon.
