I don’t mean this in a “movies suck now” kind of way, I actually think 2022 was a pretty good year for movies and 2024 will probably be better

but yeesh, 2023 seemed like a particularly bleak year for film. of those I’ve seen on this list, the only ones I’d heartily recommend are Bottoms and Nimona. maybe Beau is Afraid and Infinity Pool, but those are definitely not for everyone. oh and the TMNT movie was a lot of fun

(I haven’t seen Flower Moon yet so don’t get mad at me, Scorsesebros)

but please feel free to CMV and recommend any good movies from this year, whether they’re in this image or not!

    Disney animated films were particularly meh this year. Elemental was too cliched, Wish looks godawful. Unironically, the Mario movie has a better shot at the best animated film Oscar than either of these (it’ll go to either Across the Spiderverse or The Boy and the Heron).

      The best animated film of the year, Nimona, was supposed to be released by Disney but they canceled it. So glad they managed to get it made anyway without that awful company.

        Nimona was really good, and yeah I’m sure Disney would’ve neutered it. Still don’t think it’ll win the Oscar though, especially with the Academy’s bias against streaming platforms.
