Whether you’re a fan of thrilling science fiction, heartwarming dramas, pulse-pounding action, or dark horror, there’s something on this list for every movie enthusiast. My lists always seem to consist of a variety of genres.
Without further ado, here are my top ten favorite films of 2023. Read over the list and let me know what some of your favorite movies were last year!
Godzilla Minus One
Godzilla Minus One is the best Godzilla movie that has been made. It told a great story story, had strong character development, and Godzilla was absolutely terrifying. The film actually treated the long-running franchise with respect and I would hope that Legendary Pictures and the filmmakers they hired to make their films would learn how to make a real Godzilla movie instead of the crap they continue to pump out for the franchise. Hollywood could learn something from Godzilla Minus One, but they won’t.
The movie is set in Japan 1945-1947. “After the war, Japan has been reduced to zero. Godzilla appears and plunges the country into a negative state. Against the most desperate situation in the history of Japan, how — and with whom — will Japan stand up to it?”
