[@ssssssstssssssss]

Monster was a true return to form for Kore-eda after his somewhat middling French and Korean movies . But I think the real star may have been the screenwriter, Yuji Sakamoto, as he delivered another brilliant screenplay.

[@user-eo2ow8un1n]

@@BreakfastAllDay Monster has been criminally overlooked this year. It's wrecked me

[@ghostburger2455]

There are still definitely some I need to see, but at the moment my top 10 is: 1. Anatomy of a Fall 2. Beau Is Afraid 3. Bottoms 4. Barbie 5. Poor Things 6. Past Lives 7. The Boy and the Heron 8. Priscilla 9. Talk to Me 10. The Holdovers I think Zone of Interest and May December will definitely be in there too once I see them!!

[@bev9708]

SO happy to see Beau up there near the top of someone's list ... a genuine cinematic experience that one!!👍🏻 No love for Dream Scenario though?🤷🏻‍♀

[@slayerinthedark]

I absolutely hate to be "that guy," but I teach a class on film music, so I just can't help myself... a musical sequences that exists as a fantasy (like in L'immensità) would be "internal diegetic." Unlike non-diegetic music, which exists completely separate from the world of the film, internal diegetic exists basically within the head/imagination of a character (or characters) within the film. It's a very common technique in modern musicals. In any event, Alonso strikes me as someone who would rather be right than just think he's right and ignore new information that challenges that assumption (incidentally, my favorite type of person and an unfortunate rarity these days). If my assumption is accurate, please feel free to pass that on. While you're at it, feel free to also share how much I appreciate your channel. I rarely get to talk about movies with anyone, so I'm grateful to have your videos to watch. No one got me the Table for One I had on my Christmas list, so perhaps I might have to make an inquiry one of these days and start saving up to treat myself. In the meantime, thanks again for all your great work. Oh, and if you're looking for some underseen gems of 2023, I humbly recommend I Like Movies and Huesera: The Bone Woman as two of my favorites. I suspect you'll dig them both if you can find the time to catch up with them.

[@rogerbell8429]

My favorites - Blue Jean, Oppenheimer, Joyland (Pak), 20,000 species of bees (Sp), Housekeeping for Beginners (Maced), The Beasts (Sp/Fr), Lakelands, Paris Memories (Fr), Full time (Fr), Rodeo (Fr). I haven't yet seen Poor Things, American Fiction, The Zone of Interest, All of us Strangers and Society of the Snow (Sp) which all might feature. Tar, Till, The Whale, Marcel the Shell with shoes on and Drunken Birds(Can/Fr) I watched for the first time in 2023 even though they were first released earlier and are among my favorites.

Excellent choices, Dorothy! Loved The Killer. Still need to catch up with Leave the World Behind.

[@zxbc1]

Nice timing.

[@bucknutz9290]

I want to thank you both for your top 10 lists. I clearly didn't see enough films this year as I could only come up with 5 films that I truly admired. One of those films I saw late in the year and it scrambled my top 5... The Passenger ( with Kyle Gallner and Johnny Berchtold ). This little indie film blew me away and I hope the two of you, and everyone else, takes the time to review it. I'm calling it the best film of 2023!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Good to know, thanks for the suggestion!

[@ChrisVCrawford]

Look forward to this every January. Thanks for the great work all year.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thank you, friend!

[@looney1023]

You covered pretty much all my favorites! Poor Things and May December are absolutely the films of the year for me. Two of my other favorites from this year are Influencer and When Evil Lurks, both on Shudder. When Evil Lurks is a very difficult watch, but Influencer is a blast and an easy recommendation to both of you.

[@slayerinthedark]

When Evil Lurks was such an excellent film and a total crucible to experience. Over two months later, I still feel a bit cursed from it.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Ah, interesting, thanks for all of that!

To you as well!

[@musicmann1967]

"Poor Things" really took me by surprise, in how much I loved it! Unlike Christy, I'm not a die hard Yorgos Lanthimos fan. He runs hot and cold for me. I certainly wasn't predisposed to liking any movie of his, but the buzz on this one as so huge, I had to see for myself. I was knocked out. What really pushed it up to another level for me is the last act, when Christopher Abbott's character shows up, and the resulting consequences. I hadn't been watching the clock or anything but, I was under the impression that the movie was already moving towards something of a happy ending, and suddenly Abbott enters the church, and a whole final act follows that was amazing. My favorite movie of the year was "Oppenheimer", and "Poor Things" is just ever so slightly behind it at number two.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Both excellent. Thanks for all your contributions, Larry!

[@liamoconnell7237]

1. Femme, 2. Royal Hotel, 3. Napoleon, 4. Ferrari, 5. Ghost Scenario. 😊 Please do not forget 2 review "Femme" - great movie, very difficult to watch, impossible 2 forget.

[@adamjimenez9003]

Wow, I still haven't seen Poor Things, it hasn't come out here yet, by my top picks are Society of The Snow, How To Have Sex and Killers of the Flower Moon, can't wait for you to review both of them and will definitely check out Scrapper and RMN.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Yes please do, thanks Adam!

[@bev9708]

Loved your thoughts on why you chose the films you did!!! There are just way too many movies that haven't come out here yet ... American Fiction, The Zone of Interest, All of us Strangers, Society of the Snow, Saltburn. I missed Godzilla Minus One as it was screened for only 2 days!!!😫😫And even Poor Things hasn't come out yet, though lucky for me there was a one-off screening last weekend I made a point to catch... yep probably my film of the year too!! And Dream Scenario is my top most underrated film of the year... it's soooo much better than reviewers are giving it credit for!! And yesterday I finally saw the touching Perfect Days ... Kōji Yakusho deserved his Cannes win and deserves an Oscar nod for sure!!!

Also, it’s a small detail, and my guess is it was probably an instance of misspeaking, but the guest workers in RMN are from Asia, not Africa. Specifically, Sri Lanka and Nepal. It was a well made movie, but ultimately the experience of watching it was too tense for me.

[@Vulcanerd]

Hey, I just subscribed to you guys recently and have been enjoying your content. I knew Alonso from his occasional appearance over on Schmoedown (rip). I know it's super presumptuous, but for future lists, I like the idea of building up to the mystery of the #1? I know Christie mentioned that this year was a smorgasbord of favorites so maybe Alonso goes from 10 to 1 while Christie just sticks with an alphabetical list? I know that FYC with Perri, Scott and Jeff Sneider do their Oscar nominations 'backwards', too, but I think that's b/c the top of the list tends to have more consensus, especially when there are strong front runners and the mystery tends to be towards the bottom of the list where opinions tend to divide more (not always). Just a thought and wanted to throw the idea out there and thanks for your lists!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Thanks for the suggestion and for subscribing.

[@Locusto199]

I agree with Christy about the list. It's like making a boxing/MMA P4P list. There's the best fighter in the world, and then there's nine other great fighters who you rank depending on your preference.

My favorite was Past Lives and my second favorite was The Boy and the Heron. I haven't seen Poor Things, yet because I was on vacation in December and didn't get to the theater, but I can't wait to see it and I'm probably gonna love it. Rachel McAdams was excellent in Are you there God? It's me, Margaret; I agree. I can't wait to see L'immensità- I'm gonna watch that ASAP. Spiderman Across the Spiderverse was out of this world good; The Holdovers was delightful.

Christy, thanks for championing “Scrapper”. I saw it based on your recommendation when you talked about it the first time. In a year where I didn’t really like a lot of the “big” releases, this sweet indie was something special. A really natural performance by the young actor playing the daughter. Harris Dickinson is a transformational kind of actor, compare this performance to the one he gave in “Beach Rats”. I hope they both get to continue making good movies.

[@patpowers9210]

I was somewhat amazed that I have actually seen two of the movies on your list: Barbie and Godzilla Minus One. I disagree strongly about Barbie. I watched it because of the feminist themes, I'd heard it was a rare movie that could actually engage with adults on an adult level while entertaining kids as well. I did not find this to be true. What I saw was a kid's movie, and a toy movie, that had feminist themes running throughout it, but which worked those themes on the sort of superficial level that kids could understand. There were a few bits in there that kids might not catch but adults would, but not enough of them to make it an adult movie, really. I felt it was a waste of my time except the eye candy colors and sets were very nice: just not nice enough to justify my time and attention. And my wife liked it even less than I did, so it's not testosterone poisoning, in her case at least. I liked Godzilla Minus One more, it did capture that original Godzilla energy. But I hated the protagonist. He was SUCH a coward and on so many levels. I wasn't mad at him for not killing himself like a good kamikaze should, but he should have TRIED to shoot Godzilla when he first meets him, and he shoulda married that woman he hooks up with straight up once they started living together. What a WUSSY. What a WASTE. I can't say exactly what happened at the end for spoiler reasons, but I will say the stupid git got WAY more than he deserved. I'll prolly catch Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon and Bottoms when they hit the streaming services, but as for the rest, fuhgedabout it.

[@breslonovic]

Great list. Wish I saw 'How To Have Sex' on more lists. Probably one of the most important films of the Year.

Thank you for your lists; interesting selections as usual; haven't had opporltunity to see all of your selections; our humble burgh is limited to one 12 theatre cinema but the exhibitors choose to overlook our town a lot & there is much duplication of formats--3-D, etc. But I an definitely intrigued. Our film society may still have one or two spots to fill for our winter/spring season;; unfortunately, certain titles are unavaible to us for different reasons. We''ll see what unfolds! And thank you once again!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

You'll have to fill us in on what you end up seeing! Thanks, Marty.

[@AllInTheGame01]

Will there be a best/worst for TV as well?! Happy New Year to you both!

[@Celestialrob]

Hey Christy and Alonso, loved this top 10. For us mere mortals it’s tough to see everything by January 4th. We will be watching “Killers of the Flower Moon” this week and really want to see “Fallen Leaves”, “All of Us Strangers”, “Origin” and the “Boy and the Heron”. Here are the best 20 so far (first 3 in order). Poor Things Past Lives Anatomy of a Fall Oppenheimer Spider-Man across the Spider-Verse The Holdovers Scrapper May December Saltburn Teacher’s Lounge (German) Are You There God? It’s Me Margaret Palm Trees and Power Lines Rock Hudson: All That Heaven Allowed Sisu The Stroll Blue jean Dream Scenario Albert Brooks, Defending My Life The Integrity of Joseph Chambers

[@BreakfastAllDay]

You've seen a lot! Thanks for your list.

Despite the strikes, the CBM fatigue, and the Disney debacle, 2023 was definitely a good year for movies, so much so that I really struggled to bump out of my top ten list titles like 'Saltburn', 'Tetris' and 'Fallen Leaves'. Besides, there were movies that even when they had a wide release in 2023 were officially premiered in 2022, like 'M3GAN' and 'Talk to Me'. Still, I liked the way my top ten list ended up. 10. Blackberry 9. Dungeons & Dragons: Honor among thieves 8. Killers of the Flower Moon 7. Past Lives 6. The Covenant 5. The Boy and The Heron 4. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 3. Oppenheimer 2. Radical 1. Godzilla Minus One I still have not seen 'Poor Things', 'Anatomy of a Fall', 'The Zone of Interest', 'The Holdovers', 'May December', and many others, but based on your reviews and insights, 2024 will be awesome too. Thank you for all the great work and for sharing your top ten lists. And happy new year!

Hi, I saw Poor Things last week and I did not want to make a list without having seen it. I liked it, but not as much as you did, guys!!. My top 10 is 1. Past Lives 2. May December 3. Oppenheimer 4. Anatomy of a fall 5. The quiet girl 6. American fiction 7. The holdovers 8. Killers of the Flower Moon 9. Poor Things 10. Fallen leaves I do not know if The Quiet Girl is actually from last year or 2022, but it was released in Spain last year and it is a great movie!!

[@kevinmaynard249]

What about The Holdovers? But I did love Poor Things and Barbie too. And American Fiction.

[@SkolneyVikings]

1. Oppenheimer 2. Spiderman: Across The Spiderverse 3. May December 4. Godzilla Minus One 5. The Holdovers 6. Creed 3 7. A Good Person 8. Scream VI 9. Killers Of The Flower Moon 10. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

[@summertyme5748]

Across the SpiderVerse rates with Poor things for me. Good choice!

[@RenePeraza]

Having been a part of the short-lived Hugh Laurie series 'Chance' (earning my SAG card there), Greta Lee was a true standout. Although my scenes were with Hugh and not Greta, she had an effervescence whenever she was on screen that signaled to me she was on her way to more.

[@commandZee]

I still have so much catching up to do.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

We are here to help!

[@samtan4729]

Why is Grand prize Sundance winner Thousand and One being overlooked at the years best lists and in the Oscar race? The lead performances certainly deserves serious consideration for an Oscar nomination.

[@hopsfd]

Poor Things was absolutely my favorite as wel. Emma Stone is a revelation!

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Such an exciting performance.

[@summertyme5748]

Agree on Poor Things - it’s a better version of Barbie.

[@realmikewebb]

I still haven't seen films like All of Us Strangers, American Fiction, Zone of Interest, Perfect Days or The Taste of Things. They all haven't come out to my area yet. But my Top 10 list for the Best Films of 2023 (for now) are the following: 1. Past Lives 2. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 3. Killers of the Flower Moon 4. Anatomy of a Fall 5. The Boy and the Heron 6. Barbie 7. The Holdovers 8. How to Blow Up a Pipeline 9. The Killer 10. Asteroid City Happy New Year to you all.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Very good list, and likewise, Mike!

[@tokenbg1]

My top 10 is as follows (these are from UK availability so stuff like Poor Things isn't eligible yet): 10) Anatomy of a Fall 9) Oppenheimer 8) 20,000 Species of Bees 7) Past Lives 6) Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret 5) Saint Omer 4) Tar 3) How to Have Sex 2) The Zone of Interest 1) Close

Alonso's sweater looks like a Star Trek uniform. I hope he doesn't go down to the planet with the away team... red shirts rarely come back!

[@thefilmseeker]

In the most classically film snobbish way, nearly half of my top 10 is Japanese (and no, none of them feature any giant lizards). I still need to rewatch several of these and the movies hovering just outside the top 10, but for the time being it goes: 10. The Pot-au-Feu (I'm not calling this shit "The Taste of Things"...) 9. Monster 8. Past Lives 7. The Boy and the Heron 6. Poor Things 5. Perfect Days 4. Evil Does Not Exist 3. Oppenheimer 2. About Dry Grasses (criminally underseen, but Janus is really botching the distribution so) 1. The Zone of Interest.

[@BonzoKilbourn]

Alphabetical? Ingenious. You don't have to hurt anyone's feelings.

I'm watching beau is afraid today

[@cjwright79]

just looked it up and Four Daughters is $5 on Apple TV in America, not available yet in Canada or the UK (without a VPN)

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Chris, did Four Daughters ever come to Canada?

[@cjwright79]

@@BreakfastAllDay according to JustWatch, it has not 🤷‍♀️ no showtimes either, and no torrents, although it does seem to have played at TIFF. Oh wait, it IS on offer on Vudu, but you'd have to use a VPN to look like you're in the States 👨‍💻 I don't think too many people are going to elect that option 😕

[@cjwright79]

@@BreakfastAllDay no it has not! looks liked it played at TIFF, and that's about it!

[@Stefarooh]

Hello favourite internet people. Hope 2024 is going to be a stellar movie going one.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Hello, and happy new year!

[@sandorx4]

I loathed Poor Things and May December. I don't think The Zone of Interest worked, even though I respect what Glazer was trying to achieve. The only one we have in common is Oppenheimer. It's very rare for me to have an American film on my list. This year, I have two. 1. Mal viver 2. La Bête 3. Sobre todo de noche 4. Only the River Flows 5. Ferrari 6. Magyarázat mindenre 7. Tiger Stripes 8. Kálmán-nap 9. Oppenheimer 10. Bezkaunīgie

[@Imbealkariel]

After seeing more of the foreign film nominees that came out in January in the US, would you have any revisions to this list?

[@danielwarrenguitar]

Anatomy of a Fall

[@rahulray9983]

Ya'll should've checked ANIMAL released last month It was the best R rated film of 2023

[@geobrad7]

Y'all should have worked out how to do and present your lists in advance. It's kinda messy and confusing have you do them in completely different ways, but taking turns. Love what you have to say otherwise though, as always! ❤

[@brianng8350]

Surprised you both don’t have more overlapping movies. But that is great about cinema.

[@BreakfastAllDay]

Exactly! A great year.
