2023 favorite movies

A volatile year for the entertainment industry (and… the world) is coming to a close. Two labor strikes, franchise fatigue, Barbenheimer, and too many (increasingly expensive) streaming services to keep track of. Yet despite shifting release calendars spurned by a vast work stoppage, 2023 gave us no shortage of viewing options in the end. So the SAGindie staff has combed through our watch histories to excavate our favorites of the year. And yes, even though we try to stay up on what’s fresh and new, we even made time for some non-2023 releases that we watched for the first time this year. Take a look at the titles that made our FAVORITE FILMS OF 2023.

Runners up (so far) are:
