List

2023 First Time Viewings Ranked

I've spent many hours on this. Since around 1:00 am on January 1, 2023, I've been working on this list, weighing enjoyment, craftsmanship, and a plethora of other metrics, trying to definitively rank each film I saw for the first time this year. It’s taxing. I'm sure I'll look back in a few months, weeks, or even days, and disagree completely with some of my placements. There isn't much of a gap between many of these films. It is only full-length feature films. I got tired of debating Films vs. Comedy specials vs. Documentaries vs. Series etc. I won’t be maintaining this list throughout the year, anymore, so hopefully next year it isn’t as exhausting to make a ranking like this. Anyways, below is my final opinion as of 12:24 am January 1, 2024.
