Ranking 40 New Releases From 2023
As 2023 comes to a close, it’s time to rank the new movies I watched this year. I hope you’ll check some of them out if you haven’t.
Movie Lists and Reviews
It’s that time of the year again! As we enter 2022, I wanted to look back on the year in movies once again. I have broken my rankings into groups. Also, the title listing links to a page telling you where the film is available to be watched right now! It was a good year for movies!
If you’re interested in other suggestions or more movies I’ve watched throughout the year, check out my Letterboxd. I post reviews regularly and log every film I watch. This year I logged 300 films (some shorts and a couple of limited tv series included), 59 of which were released in 2021 and will appear below! Some of these will have a short review, and others will only have a picture. A few will have deep-dive reviews because I feel they warrant the attention (most of these deep dives will correspond to controversial movies or films I felt were genuinely excellent). This list isn’t as intensive as last year. I don’t have the time that I did during the pandemic, though I did somehow watch more new releases this year!
These movies are rated out of 5 stars. With all that being said, let’s dive into the list!
Here are 50 movies released in 2020 that I was able to watch throughout the year. The pandemic truly shifted our ability to consume entertainment in a normal way. Nine months without the option to go to a theater changes things, but I am grateful for the ones I was able to see. Below you will find those films, along with a brief description or review. If you want to check out any more of my reviews, take a look at my Letterboxd profile. The following movies are split into categories and rated out of 5 stars.
Inspired by Steven Soderbergh, director of Ocean’s 11 (2001), who chronicles his yearly media consumption, I decided to keep track of every movie that I watched in 2019. At the beginning of the year, I wanted to watch as many films as possible.
