welcome everyone today we are ranking all of
my movies that I saw in 2023 now I am excluding movies that I have seen before these are just
films that were first time watches for me I watched 95 is movies last year and ranking all of
those with a lot of my favorites would have been quite skewed so I decided to just do movies that
I saw for the first time before we get started I wanted to ask you all to please hit that like
button hit that subscribe button I only have about one to two% of my
viewers who are subscribed
to me and I would love to up that number this year so please hit that subscribe button but we have
52 movies to go through today and we are going to be going ranked from lowest to highest as you
can see I've got my list here my ranking my tier and we have S tier all the way down to F tier and
then we have our special category today which is tasty trash and those are movies that I personally
enjoyed but I think that as a movie it is not a very well-made movie so we
are going to start
down here in the F tier we'll probably get to most of our tasty trash films pretty quickly and
then quickly move up to S tier all right the first movie in RF tier is the 1988 version I believe
of Peter Pan this is a film that is you know it is not the Disney version of Peter Pan and it is
extremely boring it is just a pain to sit through a pain to watch and that is why it gets effed TI
it's only an hour but it feels closer to two the other movie in R F tier if you've bee
n following
me for a while is journey to Bethlehem and anyone who's following me knows that I did not like
that movie I was not a fan of how it treated the Christmas story and so it goes straight into
F tier for me those are but luckily those are the only two films in our F tier today and with that
we're going to be jumping into our D tier films starting off at the bottom of that list is Indiana
Jones and the dial of Destiny and that film was just incredibly boring it was not a fun movie to
sit through and have to watch um I was just it it was a very long and boring film moving on we have
the Flash and the Flash while it would normally go in D tier is actually going to go in tasty trash
I know a lot of people did not like the film and I can objectively agree that I don't think it was
a well-made film but I enjoyed watching The Flash and a lot of the things that the director did
with that film and so it goes in the tasty trash category for me where it's something I might put
on to again to watch in the future but objectively I don't consider it a good movie similarly the
be movie I would also put that in tasty trash this film has been memd on and laughed at for
years and I finally sat down and watched it in 2023 and it is definitely a movie to meme on it's
not a great film in my opinion but it is fun and tasty trash to watch then we have the whale by
Darren aronowski and that film does rank higher than Indiana Jones in the dial of Destiny and I
think it's a wel
l-made movie but in my opinion the issue I have with the whale is that a film that
chooses to show extremely dark and sad material must also at some point explore hope and have some
hope in it and for me the amount of Darkness that the whale showed and the despair that it showed
was not I didn't have enough hope at the end of it to Warrant it getting a higher review so it
gets it gets put in the D category for me now we have Aquaman and the lost kingdom and that will
also be going in tasty
trash for me where it is a movie that I I laughed while I was watching it I
watched it with my sister in theaters it was very funny um but it is objectively it's not a good
movie by any means all right now we move into our CER we're moving into some of these other C tier
films starting off we have Cinema Paradiso this is an Italian film um it came highly recommended
to me and if the film had only had the first two parts in it it would be probably an a tier film
but because of the way that t
he Final Act in the third part of the film is it really lost me and it
fell apart and I think it would have been better served if it had just cut off at the hour and
50 minutes Mark I believe and that would have easily punched it up two levels but because
of the last act it's cut down significantly now we have my Big [ __ ] Greek Wedding 2 and
that goes above Cinema Paradiso and it is a movie I don't consider it as good as it's not as
good as the first one it's it's still a decent film it i
s a film I would potentially sit down
and watch again anything above anything C tier or above and tasty trash is something that I would
watch again and put on again um maybe not it's in my parody so but My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 is
a movie I would put on and watch again we have next up the Mighty Max the Mighty Max is a movie
that wow I don't like this system the mighty ma is a fun feel-good movie about a basketball team
a female basketball team based on a true story but the production val
ue on the film was just very low
and for that reason it goes a little lower in my book now we have twin Dragons by Jackie Chan with
jackiechan and that film is it's a fun film but it's it's a Hong Kong film and it is poorly done
in terms of the dubbing and that HT it a lot in my book so that is why it goes into the C category
otherwise a perfectly fun fun film to watch The Adams Family 2 is a film that is a pretty decent
Sequel and I think I'm going to put it in tasty trash because it's a f
ilm that I don't think is
particularly the best but it's still good and I would definitely put it on to rewatch it Super
Mario Bros goes into C category for me I know it's a film a lot of people liked and it's if
you liked it I'm so happy for you I thoroughly enjoyed it as a onetime watch but it did not have
enough meat on its bones for me it didn't choose to explore any themes that it it had and that's
why it goes into the C tier for me next up we have a ballot of song birds and snakes and
a ballot of
song birds and snakes is a movie that was good it wasn't great and it was it was messy and sloppy
in terms of its exe in in terms of its editing and its pacing and that's why it goes into the
C tier for me a lot of people said they liked it better than the book and I'm very happy for them I
did not read the book so I went into it completely fresh and the final film in our C tier is the boy
and the Heron ha miyazaki's latest film studio jibli and I I didn't feel a cohesive theme
in the
boy and the Heron and that was something that I've always felt was such a strength of miyazaki's
work is that it meandered it explored these worlds that it was in but it always had a theme
that it was choosing to explore and I could not find a cohesive theme in the boy and the Heron
with a good it it didn't work for me it didn't work for me all right now we are jumping into our
B tier our B tier is our biggest category for me and starting right off we have Disney's Haunted
Mansion
a fun film nothing too deep nothing too um incredible nothing too amazing but a fun film
to watch next up we have deep blue sea deep blue sea is just a fun horror film set in the ocean
absolutely absolutely a pleasure to watch moving on we now have murder mystery is a Netflix film I
believe Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston really fun film to watch nothing that's going to stick
with you for too long my mind's already kind of hazy on the details and I only watched it a couple
months ago but
nevertheless a fun film definitely would sit down and throw it on and rewatch it
uh now we have an early 2000s Christmas movie called one special night and this is a film
with Julie Andrews and just a lovely little film it didn't go where I thought it was going to
go but one that I would add to my Christmas list to rewatch every year or every couple of years
now we have a classic and that is Kindergarten Cop Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger
and that was just such a fun film to wa
tch nothing too deep nothing too incredible but a great film
to throw and a classic I'm sure a lot of people have a very nostalgic connection to this film and
I completely understand why now we have Meet the Parents uh Meet the Parents is a film that will
make you cringe in all the best ways Ben Stiller is so good at making you cringe and making you
just feel exactly how his character is feeling in that moment and it was definitely a fun film
to sit and watch next up we have the day after t
omorrow I know a lot of some people don't find
this to be that great of a film but I am a huge sucker for films that have a really good message
where a father and a son or a daughter end up coming together and having to reconnect and that
was a huge theme in the day after tomorrow was a a father who was not the best father having to do
everything in his power to go rescue his son and that I'm a sucker for those kind of movies which
put the day after tomorrow so high up in this list now we h
ave knowing with Nicholas Cage and this
was a fun film I'd never seen it before it takes the apocalypse story in quite an interesting way
and um truly a fascinating film it's a a review that has taken off quite a bit for me on my Tik
Tok Channel and not quite sure why but people really loved my review of that so knowing is a
film that I had not seen before this year but it was absolutely an interesting one um and now
we have pinball the man who saved the machine I'm sorry the man who saved
the game Pinball
is a film that has a bit of a special place in my heart because the company that produced it the
moving picture Institute is the first company that I intern for in Hollywood and I love the people
who helped produce this film and so I was super excited to watch it and I can honestly say it's a
really fun little movie and it has a great little story to it and a fun piece of history that I did
not know existed now we have Dungeons and Dragons honor among Thieves this was such
a fun movie
this year I was not expecting this movie but it's a really cute Adventure movie it's got a lot
of nods to fans of Dungeons and Dragons but it's also not a film that's going to require a ton of
knowledge for you to watch you can still get some of the winks and understand the story if you are a
casual D and D fan or if you're not a D and D fan at all but it'll still be a fun watch for you
and I really appreciated that about this movie Next up we have charade a film from the 1960s
with
Carrie Grant and Audrey heurn truly just a really fun film with some excellent dialogue these two
bounced off each other so well they had so much Charisma and So Much Chemistry on screen that it
made this film a joy to watch along with being a a great who done it next up we have Barbie I'm
sure a lot of people are going to be mad at me for putting Barbie so far down on this list but
I'm not unlike a lot of people that I've seen this past year talking about Barbie I'm not in the camp
t
hat fully despises the film and I'm not in the camp of people who think that it's the best thing
since slice bread I think that it it had a really nice story to tell it had a story that was good
and it it just hit a couple of points too too hard on the nose for me and that dock did a lot for me
otherwise I think it could have been an excellent a a tier movie or even an S tier film but because
because it was so on the nose with a lot of its points and they just weren't subtle about some
thin
gs I it had to go down for me because there are so many better ways that they could have
done it next up is another Christmas film that was a first time watch for me this year naughty
or nice and that was it's a film about a girl who gets access to Santa's naughty or nice list
and she kind of has to learn whether or not she should be doing that and whether or not she can um
and how she can really affect people's lives with the knowledge that she possesses and traditionally
for me Hallmark f
ilms tend not to go too deep on their themes and letting people be bad guys and
having to learn from that but na or nice really lets the protagonist be a bad person and we have
to understand that and see her transformation from bad to good and I I liked that a lot and next we
have My Big Fat Greek Wedding the first one this was such a fun movie definitely a rewatch for me
um I will come back to this movie in the future uh just a classic had so many great things and such
a fun cast all right
we are now moving into the a tier films starting off with wolf Walkers wolf
Walkers is an animated film by an Irish animation company they're very small Studio this was my
first film of theirs very interesting very unique 2D animation and just a really beautiful and
interesting story if you're interested in checking out any foreign animated films wolf Walkers is a
great one to start with just understand that it's going to have a completely different animation
style than what you are probab
ly used to next up we have the classic film the Innocents which
is just a really interesting black and white film about a housekeeper who is keeping an eye on two
children that she thinks are possessed and are going crazy but the film never tells us if she's
actually crazy or if the kids are possessed so it's a really fascinating a really fascinating
exploration of that I recommend checking it out for the cinematography and the Direction all
right moving on we now have extraction with Chris
Hemsworth this was an exciting and thrilling
action film another movie with you know a man forced into a father son Dynamic and he has to
kind of learn how to deal with that and that was really cool that was really good I'm excited to
watch the second one at some point um it's got a lot to live up to cuz the first extraction was was
very good SEC now we are into a film that I don't know if a lot of you will have heard before I I
had never heard of this film is called alligator it's on Amaz
on Prime and I I absolutely thought
that this movie was going to be just another b or c-rated horror flick with horrible effects so my
friends and I turned it on as a joke and we were pleasantly surprised that it's actually a really
really fun really fun horror film kind of in the same vein as Jaws I would say it's definitely
one to check out if you're a fan of Monster films especially Monster films from the80s all right
now we have ticket to Paradise ticket to Paradise is a romcom George C
looney and Julia Roberts and
really this film deserves to probably be in like the B or C tier probably in like low B tier but
because of George Clooney and Julia Roberts it's pushed up to a tier because the two of them have
such incredible chemistry and they really hold this movie together it's an absolutely fun film
to watch all right now we we have a film from the early 2000s which I had been looking forward to
watching for a while I hadn't got the chance to in time and this was a really
interesting dystopian
future film where the currency is time and that's how people survive a little bit by the numbers but
the premise and the uniqueness of the film really held it together for me all right moving on to the
Bad Guys by Dreamworks fun animated film really cool it makes the bad guys work for the Twist
and the premise and I really love that about this movie all right we have a classic film that
my roommate showed me I had never heard of this movie before and I'm so glad that h
e showed it to
me Secondhand Lions which was just a true treasure to watch a young boy is sent to live with his two
eccentric uncles and learns all the stories of them and their youth and it is just such a lovely
little film to watch moving on we have a haunting in Venice which is the third film in the Hercule
poo films based off of the Agatha Christie novels um honestly tied with a murder on the Orient
Express for my favorite of them so far I have not seen the second one I've heard not to
watch
the second one but this one had some really good horror elements to it a little bit scary it really
didn't let you know what was going on till the end I really appreciated it about that movie all right
we have Guardians of the Galaxy 3 this was the only Marvel movie that I went to watch this year
I did not I have fallen off the superhero train so hard um yes I do have the flash on here and I
have Aquaman but I I had a little bit of Hope for the DC films which was they're in tasty tras
h it
was unfounded but Guardians of the Galaxy 3 was James gun's third movie and it was his third
movie at Marvel and it was wonderful I guess fourth if you're counting the holiday special but
his third like big film I guess and it was just excellent it they let him play with it it was so
obvious that it was a film from a different point in time in Marvel's lineup great film to watch
if you have not watched it so far okay moving on we have another classic that this was my first
year Watchi
ng we have Mrs Doubtfire Robin Williams Sally Fields an excellent excellent film highly
recommend checking this out another film about a father who is desperately trying to reunite
with his kids and stay with them and it was just a fantastic fantastic film for me to watch all
right we now have gal Del Toros Pinocchio and that is hold on I think I'm missing something here ah yes we have one more film from the be tier
The Haunted Mansion Disney classic grave film um upper upper B tier for me g
ood film great classic
watch all right moving on we have Pinocchio gel del Toro's animated film Pinocchio and this
was such an incredible film gel dor is such a polarizing filmmaker for me because I love some of
his stuff and I hate some of his other stuff but Pinocchio was a movie that I loved the animation
the stop motion is absolutely fantastic absolutely a great movie to go watch all right getting near
the top of our AER we have a very recent film The Boys in the boat and that was just
a great
Feelgood American classic film about the boys who went to row in the 1936 Olympics in Germany really
a great film to check out it's still in theaters I believe I would highly recommend watching it
in theaters it's a great theater watch all right right above that we have Mission Impossible dead
reckoning part one um I think this one is a film that cannot be fully judged until we see part
two and we find out what the resolution to the conflict in this movie is and I'm not sure how I
feel about it being a part one I generally am not a fan of part ones versus part twos um because you
can't really judge them fully until you've seen both parts but I really enjoyed dead reckoning
I thought it was really unique and interesting in the mission impossible franchise not as good
as um several of the other ones but still uh an a tier film and at the top of the a tier movies we
have asteroid City this was my second Wes Anderson film um got to see this one in theaters and just
so so
great an absolute joy to watch this movie really if you like Wes Anderson you're going to
like asterid City the colors in this film are gorgeous the black and white is wonderful cannot
speak highly enough of asteroid City all right we are now moving into the S tier films starting
with leelo and Stitch I know it's a travesty that I had not seen leelo and Stitch before this
year but what a great film just Disney went for it in the early 2000s with Lilo and Stitch and they
knocked it out of t
he park really it it's such a great film that everyone should see at least once
and Lilo and Stitch are just wonderful characters and I really really am happy that I got to see
this film next up we have the Prince of Egypt classic from Dreamworks early 2000s as well yes
I had not seen it before this year or I might have but I did not remember anything about it so
I considered the first time watch for me truly a good film but um a film that I I wish I had liked
more I wish I had liked more a
nd I'll leave it at that next up we have five films left R RR this
was my first film from India that I watched and I don't think there's a better way to introduce
yourself to Indian films done through rrr it is every genre you can think of rolled into one it's
wonderful it's lovely uh action-packed a musical it's a comedy and truly like I fell in love with
Indian Indian Cinema after this and I'm so excited to continue to delve further into Indian Cinema
after watching [Music] rrr now we hav
e across the spiderverse um one of the best animated films of
the Year actually the best animated film of the year that I saw at least and um a great sequel
but again a part one so I cannot fully review it and truly think about it completely similar
to dead reckoning so I'll be waiting for the sequel to see how it is um I really wish that the
sequel was coming out in 2 months but um chances of that happening are slim and none so um we'll
be interested to see where that goes um as we continu
e next up we have my favorite film from
2023 which is Oppenheimer and um I don't think that anyone thought the marriage of the biopic
with Christopher Nolan was going to work um or a lot of people were very concerned about how
it was going to turn out but Christopher Nolan really proved that he can do whatever he puts his
mind to and Oppenheimer was a beautiful look into the mind of someone who changed the world and
I think that it was an incredible incredible experience and I'm glad that i
t connected
with Barbie and they had the whole barbon Heimer phenomenon not only because it was so cool
to watch it in that context and kind of have that be a part of the be a part of the meme but also
because it it really helped a lot of people who probably wouldn't have seen Oppenheimer to go
watch Oppenheimer great film um but there are two that I liked better this year one of those
was Puss and Boots the last wish I would not have ever expected a DreamWorks to be in the top
actually th
at's not true I definitely would have expected um a DreamWorks film to be in my top
five movies of the year but Puss and Boots The Last Wish is one of my favorite animated films of
all time it hits all of the Beats flawlessly it's gorgeously animated and paced perfectly with
Incredible villains Incredible characters all throughout um I have zero complaints about Puss
and Boots The Last Wish and finally we have the number one film that I saw for the first time in
2023 which was Whiplash and
what an incredible what an incredible debut film by Daman chazelle
uh truly just a spectacular film with so much passion and so much energy put into it and all
the heart and the love put into it that it's it's an incredible film and I'm so glad that it was
created so that is it guys that is all 52 films that I saw this past year um for the first time
let me know what you think of my list what you agree with what you disagree with in the comments
um and suggestions for movies that I should w
atch this upcoming year in 2024 and I'm already off to
a pretty good start I've got about seven films I try and watch about a 100 films in a year that's
