The Best Films of 2023

At the time I made my 2023 recap video, I had only seen eight or so films released in 2023, so I instead ranked best films released any time that I watched for the first time in 2023. You can find that video below, but now that I’ve seen way, way, way more films released in 2023 (44 of them), I’ll take a moment to properly rank them from worst to best here, color coded by general quality.
