The Best Movies of 2023

My friend took me to see Slam Dunk in theatres, and knowing almost nothing about the source material.... the movie is actually incredible. Gorgeous animation, emotional depth, character development, insane hype, and the movie does an amazing job of accommodating newcomers that didnt watch the 90s anime or read the manga.

I love the Slam Dunk manga. I drove over 2 hours round trip to see First Slam Dunk in a theater. Everyone in the theater besides me was Japanese and they had all clearly grown up with Slam Dunk and were on another level of excitement and energy. It was one of the single best moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had.

Holy shit that advertisement went on forever

The fact that Godzilla Minus One can be said in the same breath as Oppenheimer for some of the best films of 2023 just makes me so happy.

I missed Chris making the worst movies videos of the year

Im not sure if its just me or not, but I don't even really feel like he said all that much about his favorite films of the year. It's like he just speed ran through them and just called it a night. I'm sure he's probably going through a lot but I don't know, I'd enjoy to hear what made these films your favorite and why they were the best for you. I understand it can be difficult to put into words why you love something but come on man, you've been doing this for like 14 years now, I would think you'd get better at conveying you're feelings on a movie instead of just saying one line about it or this will get an Oscar and moving on. I don't know, its just frustrating but, what do you guys think?

The Iron Claw is an amazing movie and family film. If y’all haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you do! 👍

Would of help if the movies were listed in the info.

Always love these lists - so many of these I completely passed me by. Thanks Chris!

I'm glad you gave some anime movies an honorable mention. Because we know the Academy for some reason can't see their brilliance when they really should.

Godzilla Minus One is to 2023 what Top Gun Maverick was to 2022. What an unexpected masterpiece.

Please, for the love of god, elaborate. I swear the goddamn title cards for each number lasted longer than what you actually said about each movie.

EFAP's stream covering this video is far more entertaining than actually watching this video 😂 "stuckmanized"

I’m happy to see The Artifice Girl get a mention. We need more of these idea driven low budget/ high quality movies.

The First Slam Dunk was absolutely fantastic!!! 💪🔥🏀 Also, another surprise was Godzilla Minus One. What an epic and what a drama!!! These movies make the ridiculous 200M+ budget movies look lazy. The scripts for these two movies were so well constructed with deeply emotional character development and arc while maintaining action and suspense. What a year!!!

So, what are any of these films about? You gave almost as much time to the title cards as you spent talking about the movies. You also spoke in a monotone voice for almost the entire video. Do you care about youtube anymore? Or is it just a way to get into the "superior" (failing) film industry?

I saw the first slam dunk, first because i knew the anime, but second because of you Chris, and i thanks to u that i got the chances to see it in the theatres. An amazing movie.
