In addition to my annual ten favorite films of the year I have added a handful of categories to highlight additional films of 2023 I felt were note worthy.  I call them sidebars.  Enjoy and RESPECTFULLY discuss.

MY FAVORITE REPARATORY FILNS: Inglorious Basterds (2009), Body Heat (1981), Spaceballs (1987), and Imitation of Life (1959)

TOP 10 of 2023:

10  Asteroid City 

9  Scrapper     

8 Fremont 

7 The Holdovers

3 Blackberry 

2 How to Blow up a Pipeline

1 Oppenheimer

Until next time I will see you at the movies!
