My 25 Favorite Films of 2023

It's that time of year again! Here are my top 25 films of 2023.

25. Joy Ride

Following in the footsteps of Bridesmaids and Girls Trip, Joy Ride offers some of the biggest laughs of 2023 proving once again women can be just as raunchy as men. The cast includes up-and-comers Ashley Park, Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu, and a scene-stealing breakthrough performance from Sherry Cola. Joy Ride marks a strong debut from writer-director Adele Lim.

24. Theater Camp

Anyone who had aspirations of becoming an actor can relate to Theater Camp, a mockumentary about the staff of a theater camp struggling to keep it afloat. Molly Gordon, Ben Platt, and Noah Galvin lead both behind and in front of the camera in this superb comedy that will leave you singing from the rooftops.

23. A Thousand and One

A Thousand and One is a heartbreaking indie film about a mother's desperate effort to form a bond with her estranged son by kidnapping him from the foster care system following her stint in prison. Teyana Taylor packs an emotional punch with her crushing performance with the help of A.V. Rockwell in her feature debut as a writer-director.

22. Thanksgiving

Eli Roth's filmography in horror is a mixed record, but his latest flick Thanksgiving may be his best work yet. Not only is it a solid slasher with great over-the-top killings, its brilliantly hilarious. In a time where horror franchises can be tiresome, Thanksgiving is one that could call for a second or third helping.

21. Somewhere in Queens

TV icon Ray Romano makes his feature directorial debut in the family comedy Somewhere in Queens. He stars as the father of a promising high school basketball player who goes through perhaps desperate means to assure he lands a college scholarship. Joined by the wonderful Laurie Metcalf, Somewhere in Queens has plenty of laughs as well as plenty of heart.

20. Dream Scenario

The remarkable comeback of Nicolas Cage continues with his brilliant performance in Dream Scenario, a dark fantasy horror comedy in which he plays a college professor who inexplicably starts appearing in everyone's dreams, sparking a national phenomenon that will ultimately take a personal toll. Cage balances the absurdity of the situation his character is in with emotional heft that comes with it. This marks Norwegian filmmaker Kristoffer Borgli's first English-language film and based on how well-executed Dream Scenario is, hopefully it won't be his last.

19. The Covenant

Guy Ritchie's latest The Covenant is a heart-pounding war film based on the true story of Sgt. John Kinley's rescue effort of his Afghan interpreter Ahmed. Jake Gyllenhaal and Dar Salim make a perfect duo in this dramatic, suspenseful film that may be Ritchie's strongest work to date.

18. Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret.

Judy Blume's 1970 adolescent classic Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret. finally made its way to the big screen this year in the heartwarming coming-of-age tale of a girl's awkward journey from childhood to adulthood as well as the complexities that come from being an interfaith household. Abby Ryder Fortson shines as the titular Margaret in an outstanding performance not often seen from child actors. Also, we need more Rachel McAdams.

17. BlackBerry

Arguably the biggest surprise of 2023, BlackBerry offers some of the best laughs in the comedic retelling of the rise and fall of the iconic BlackBerry device. BlackBerry is a showcase of talent of its star Jay Baruchel, Matt Johnson (who also directed and co-wrote the film), and Glenn Howerton of It's Always Sunny fame, easily giving one of the best on-screen performances of the entire year.

16. You Hurt My Feelings

Writer-director Nicole Holofcener reunites with her Enough Said star Julia Louis-Dreyfus with You Hurt My Feelings, which centers a turbulent chapter in a couple's marriage after a novelist overhears her husband mocking her latest book. The dramedy examines the thought-provoking nuances of how fully honest one actually should be with their spouse (the answer may surprise you!). The greatest strength from Holofcener's latest is how its humor comes naturally from the reality of relationships.

15. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One

Mission: Impossible does the unthinkable in Hollywood: keeping a franchise in top-notch shape. Dead Reckoning Part One, the whopping *seventh* installment of the Ethan Hunt saga, delivers on a compelling plot and incredible action sequences, all of which is cemented by the star power of Tom Cruise, who has carried this spy franchise for nearly 20 years. There have been hints that Dead Reckoning may be the beginning of the end for Mission: Impossible, and if that's the case, it's going out with a bang.

14. Talk to Me

The best horror movie of 2023, Talk to Me is a chilling film about a group of teenager's ill-fated decision of doing a viral challenge of interacting with the dead, only to mistakenly leave the portal open between the living and the spirit world. What makes Talk to Me work is the family drama at the core of the film and the powerful performance from its troubled heroine Sophie Wilde.

13. Sisu

Inglorious Basterds meets Mad Max: Fury Road meets John Wick, Sisu is a WWII-era revenge action flick about a gold prospector's quest to retrieve the gold that was stolen from him from a group of Nazis. Full of brutal, bloody fight sequences with a twisted sense of humor, Sisu is one helluva ride.

12. Creed III

Creed III is a throwback to the era where Hollywood blockbusters were able to provide complete satisfaction. The latest installment of the Rocky spin-off franchise marked the strong directorial debut of its star Michael B. Jordan and also may have sadly marked the final film of the incredibly talented Jonathan Majors, whose recent assault conviction may be a knockout punch to an otherwise booming career.

11. May December

Often having vibes of a soap opera, Todd Haynes' May December is a compelling and at times disturbing film of an actress (played by Natalie Portman) who shadows the woman she's depicting in a film (played by Julianne Moore) famous for her 90s love affair with a then 13-year-old, who later became her husband. Despite the powerhouse performances from the two Oscar winners, the film really belongs to rising star Charles Melton, whose character finally comes to grips with the trauma he unknowingly endured as a child. And Melton's performance is among 2023's best.

10. Anatomy of a Fall

We don't often get great courtroom dramatic thrillers these days which is why Anatomy of a Fall really stands out. German actress Sandra Hüller gives a breakthrough performance as a wife and mother who becomes the prime suspect in what authorities believe is the murder of her husband, who had fallen to his death from the attic window. With plenty of twists and turns, Anatomy of a Fall will keep viewers guessing throughout.

9. Maestro

Not only does Bradley Cooper give the performance of his career, he has also shown his ability to direct is no fluke. Maestro, a biopic that spotlights the personal drama of legendary composer Leonard Bernstein, is a beautifully-shot, well-acted film that solidifies Cooper as one of Hollywood's newest talented filmmakers.

8. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

One would assume that a Spider-Man cartoon would solely be geared towards children but Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is such a sophisticated film between its complex plot and the remarkable animation that are a continuation from its 2018 Into the Spider-Verse predecessor. Between a strong voice cast, an amazing score and a brilliant cliffhanger, Across the Spider-Verse was the shining gem of the many superhero duds 2023 had to offer.

7. Killers of the Flower Moon

At 81-years-old, legendary director Martin Scorsese hasn't lost his step with Killers of the Flower Moon, his best film in at least a decade. The crime drama is based on a true story on the 1920s murders of members of Osage Nation and its ties to the marriage Ernest Burkhart and Mollie Kyle, played by the reliably gifted Leonardo DiCaprio and powerful newcomer Lily Gladstone.

6. Saltburn

Following her strong debut with 2020's Promising Young Woman, filmmaker Emerald Fennell makes a valiant return with her twisted comedic psychological drama Saltburn, which surrounds an Oxford student who is quickly embraced by the wealthy family of a classmate and the jarring fallout as a result. Barry Keoghan (The Banshees of Irisherin, Dunkirk) proves he's more than capable of being the leading man and is joined by rich ensemble including Rosamund Pike, Jacob Elordi, Richard E. Grant and Carey Mulligan. With stunning visuals and some of the most shocking things you'll see onscreen in 2023, Saltburn is a stirring work of art.

5. The Holdovers

It's been a long time since a new Christmas movie can live up to beloved holiday classics and Alexander Payne makes the closest effort with The Holdovers, a 1970-set dramedy about a miserable teacher at a boys academy who is stuck essentially babysitting the "holdover" students who didn't go home for the holidays. Joining the always-brilliant Paul Giamatti is newcomer Dominic Sessa as his troublesome student and Da'Vine Joy Randolph, who gives a powerful Oscar-worthy performance as the cook mourning over the loss of her son. The Holdovers is the perfect film to warm your heart over the holidays this year and every year going forward.

4. Past Lives

Perhaps one of the more unsung heroes of 2023 cinema, Past Lives is a touching story about love and what if. Greta Lee stars in a breakout role as a married woman who rekindles a relationship with a childhood friend from South Korea but rather than going down the typical "will they, won't they" or "love triangle" paths this film easily could've taken, Past Lives delves into the emotional complexities with such tenderness that only writer/director Celine Song could've told (the film is semi-autobiographical).

3. Oppenheimer

If anyone knows how to make a biopic an epic, it's Christopher Nolan. Oppenheimer is essentially two films rolled into one- a tick-tock thriller about the creation of the atomic bomb as well as a political drama that J. Robert Oppenheimer endured. Cillian Murphy gives the performance of his career and leads a gigantic ensemble cast in a film that despite its 3-hour running time goes by fast. And while Barbie may have won the box office battle, Oppenheimer certain won the war in more ways than one.

2. Polite Society

Polite Society is a brilliant action comedy following an aspiring stuntwoman who believes her sister is marrying into a sinister family. In the style of a Tarantino movie, up-and-coming filmmaker Nida Manzoor makes a strong feature debut that is the epitome of a fun popcorn movie, which have been in short supply in recent years.

Poor Things

Yorgos Lanthimos has quickly risen as of the strongest filmmakers of this generation, proving so once again with his latest film Poor Things. Emma Stone gives an Oscar-worthy performance as a woman brought back to life who embarks on a journey of self-discovery and autonomy and is accompanied by an excellent supporting cast. Like a modern-day Tim Burton, Lanthimos was able to create a mesmerizing universe with incredible production design, a whimsical music score, and stunning cinematography. Going to the movies is meant to be an escape, and Poor Things perfectly encapsulates that.

This week's theme: Rec a fic that starts with the same letter as your username (or, if you like, a part of your username).

The rules: Tag a fic that starts with the same letter as your username and describe why it's so good / how it has a hold on you. Then tag some people to see what everyone else is reading. Spread the love! Please tag @welcometololaland or tag #fic rec friday so they can compile the masterlist.

Okay, so clearly, I can’t read because I chose fics that started with an “S” for my actual first name and not my URL lol. I tried to fix this, but the amount of fics that start with a “P” in my bookmarks is almost nonexistent. So I’m going to just stick with my incorrectness; forgive me. Lola - thank you for always tagging me; I finally managed to post because looking through my AO3 bookmarks made this “easier.” You know how indecisive I am. Lol. I also promise I tried to keep this short, and this is what keeping it short looks like.😂

****

911 Lone Star

Say You’ll Remember Me: This is a Ryderdie WIP by @myemergence, and I really look forward to more. It’s one of my absolute favorite tropes (Amnesia!) and a canon-divergent AU for 2x9 featuring one of the best fictional couples to ever exist. I love Judd and Grace Ryder so much. Jenny nails the angst in that way where it hurts but GOSH it is good. It’s just *chef’s kiss* and I can’t wait to see where the rest of the journey takes us.

Searching For A Trail to Follow Again: Paige’s (@sunshinestrand) fics are classic, butterflies in your stomach, grinning from ear-to-ear, romantic comedies. This AU was so charming and, like all of Paige’s writing, leaves you with the biggest smile on your face because you’re just over-the-moon Carlos and TK have found one another in this story and in all her AUs (again and again and again). Contrary to popular belief among certain showrunners, letting characters just be happy is quality and compelling storytelling, and I’m grateful for fic writers like Paige who know that and give us a slice of that joy.

So Many Somethings: Rae’s (@iboatedhere) AUs are iconic by now, but this one will always be near and dear to my heart. Not just because it’s the You’ve Got Mail AU and it’s an incredible nod to the film, but also because it was the first fic I ever beta-read for her, and the whole process bonded us. Rae, thanks for trusting me! This fic is remarkable, I love the balance of enemies-friends-lovers and the banter. Oh, the Banter™️. Nora Ephron would be proud!

Sanctuary: If I had to use one word to summarize this fic, it would be ✨DESTINY✨. Honestly, I think all of Kim’s (@reyescarlos) fics have a destiny vibe to them, you can feel that these two characters are meant to be together, and they will find a way. I loved the first meeting in this one; the tension in the scene was palpable, and Kim’s writing always makes you feel like every interaction is happening right in front of you. She’s magic in that way ✨.

Slowly Becoming Lovers: I love fics that show us the little moments between Carlos and TK, how they fall in love through the little things, and the way Holly (@morganaspendragonss) portrays that journey in these short vignettes is so so SO beautiful. This is one of the fics I have reread the most, according to the AO3 clicks lol, and there is a reason for that. It is truly lovely. Also, the title is inspired by one of my favorite Ben Platt songs, and fits the story perfectly! Highly recommend!

Red, White, and Royal Blue

Snowed in? Snow problem: This fic is such a blast to read, lol. I laughed so hard, and I still laugh just as hard when I reread it because the ugh!Hunter slander is top-tier. A direct quote: “Well, I’m not bunking in with Hunter or you’ll be dealing with a murder by the end of the day.” Same, Alex. Same. Forever mood.😂 Add to that, “there was only one bed” plus Rae’s (@rmd-writes) ability to write Sexual Tension™️ x 5467893204858, and this college au is a must-read. Also, THE TITLE. YAAASS. A+ pun. No notes.

Sink Beneath the Waves: This fic. THIS FIC. You know how in every fandom, there are stories that are essentially required reading, this one by @indomitable-love is one of those fics for me in the RWRB fandom. The love, the yearning, the pain, and the utter joy at Henry’s “I’m into making History.” Getting the chance to see these canon plot points from Henry’s POV is a gift, and I’m so grateful this fic exists for us to revisit again and again.

****

I think this has made the rounds already because it is Saturday for me, so consider this an open tag to whoever has fics they would like to share with us!

Grow as We Go (Tom Hiddleston x Female Reader)

Tonight's song inspiration request is from @ohhhhmarkiloosecontrol who wanted a one shot for "Grow as We Go" by Ben Platt. They also gave the thought of wondering how Tom might have proposed to Zawe. I'm sure he did it in his own special way, but the following story is how I imagine it might have gone after they starred in "Betrayal" together in London.

Pulling up in front of the Donmar Warehouse in London, you smiled as the memories flooded back. Even though it had been a few years since you last step foot inside the theatre, every detail of the iconic building looked the exact same as you remembered. The play that you had starred in not only gave you the opportunity to perform on Broadway soon after, but also led to the breakthrough movie role that you had just landed. More importantly than all of that, it had introduced you to the love of your life.

Your boyfriend, Tom, had been the lead opposite you and from the first read through, you knew he would be someone special in your life. The two of you just clicked immediately and by the end of the run of the show, the budding friendship had begun to shift into something more. As much as you had enjoyed the outings with the rest of the cast, the first time the two of you went out for coffee after rehearsal one afternoon, you realized how much you longed to spend more time with him one on one. During the last week of the show when he had asked you out to dinner, you assumed it would feel just like any other time the two of you went out somewhere together. The flowers he gave you at the front door and the suit he wore for the occasion made it impossible to mistake it for anything but a romantic date. As he sweetly kissed you goodnight on the front stoop of your flat, you knew that things had without a doubt changed.

Shaking away the memories, you stepped foot inside the building and immediately recognized the theatre manager and press coordinator standing in the foyer. After greeting them both, you asked if they had seen Tom, who was supposed to be wrapping up a tryout for an upcoming play. The expressions on their faces seemed suspicious, but you tried to ignore it as they directed you to enter the theatre where Tom was apparently waiting for you. Upon opening the doors to the main auditorium, you had expected to see a group of people or at least your boyfriend and the director of the show speaking to one another. Instead, you were met with near darkness as the only lights lit in the spacious hall were the stage lights that were unusually dimmed. Just as you started to pull your cell out of your purse to call him to see where he was at, you heard a familiar voice.

“Hi, love.”

Glancing back up to the stage in front of you, you were met with the sight of your boyfriend smiling back at you. Instead of the t shirt and jeans he had been sporting this morning, he was now wearing a nice suit with his unruly curls slightly slicked back and tucked behind his ears.

“Hi, handsome. We had plenty of time for you to change for tonight. You didn’t have to bring your suit to your audition with you, you know.”

His smile only grew as he reached out his hand to you, causing you to walk further into the space to join him. As the two of you silently walked together hand in hand, you sighed and glanced around the stage before turning to face him.

“This place certainly does have some fun memories, doesn’t it? I assume by the smile on your face right now, the audition went well?”

The second you mentioned the audition, his expression shifted to one you were very familiar with. Thomas Hiddleston was searching for the right words before he made a confession. He had either set up a surprise or had done something you wouldn’t like. Either way, he hated to stretch the truth or mislead you in any way. The man was always so eager to tell you that he usually ruined half the surprises he tried to set up for you.

“Actually… there was no audition, my love. I just needed an excuse to get you back to the Donmar tonight.”

When you gave him a confused look, he took both of your hands into his and took a deep breath.

“Darling, since the first day I met you, I was captivated by you. I remember going home the night of the first read through of our play and recalling the sound of your laughter and thinking about the way your nose crinkles when you smile. From the moment we first spoke, I felt like I had known you forever. It was as if you had always been a part of my life and it was impossible to remember what life was like before you. The more we got to know each other over the course of the show, the more I found myself falling head over heels in love with you. I found myself creating any excuse I could to see you outside of the theatre just to be in your presence.

Since you’ve given me the gift of being able to call you mine, I have watched you blossom and grow in your career as you landed role after role. Now that you are making your debut on film soon, I couldn’t be prouder to be by your side. Even though we have both grown as individuals over the years, I have been so eternally grateful that we have grown together. I know how hard it can be to love someone who is no longer the person you first met. In my case, I have found myself loving you even more through each chapter of your life and I want nothing more than to remain by your side for all the amazing chapters to still come.”

As soon as he let go of your hands to reach into his pocket, it felt like time seemed to stop completely. You had been too caught up in his words and the look of adoration in his eyes to realize what exactly was happening right now. When his hand reappeared with a small black box, everything seemed to pass in slow motion. By the time he had opened the box and dropped down to one knee in front of you, your throat had gone dry, and you felt the tears building in your eyes. The second you started to cry, so did Tom. The slight nervous energy you had noticed a few minutes prior was now a full-blown shake as he tried to hold the box steady and find his words once again. After clearing his throat and forcing down the emotions to steady his voice, he looked back up at you with the widest grin you had ever seen.

“Sweetheart, on this very stage so many years ago, I realized that I was madly in love with you and could no longer live this life without you. It seems only fitting that on this stage, I ask you a very important question. Darling, will you give me the honor of calling you my wife? Will you marry me?”

All you could do was nod enthusiastically since you were too overcome with emotion to speak. Once he quickly stood and picked you up in his arms, you finally gave him the answer he was desperate to hear.

“Yes! Oh my gosh, Tom! Yes! Of course!”

The two of you laughed and cried as he spun you around before placing you back down on your feet and pulled the ring from its velvet lined box. After slipping it on your finger, you looked down to realize it was your grandmother’s, causing the tears to flow once more.

“Wait, this is… how did you?...”

After pulling you in for a deep kiss, he turned and called up towards the lighting box at the back of the theatre.

“Alright, mate. You can raise the curtain now.”

Right on cue, the backdrop of the stage lifted to show your closest family and friends that had been watching the event through the reflective screen that had perfectly hidden them. The sound of cheers and excited voices all blended in together as they rushed forward to congratulate the two of you. Once the chaos had died down slightly, you felt Tom lean in towards your ear.

“What do you say we head to the restaurant now, darling? The rest of our guests are eagerly waiting to celebrate my fiancé and her new movie.”

Giving him one more lingering kiss in front of the people that mattered most in your life, you couldn’t wait to spend the rest of your lives growing and changing, knowing it was so much better doing it together.

the evolution of my icon, for those who haven't been around to see it live:

change it to ben platt evan hansen on a bi flag in 2017

make a set of similar icons with nine different evan actors in june 2019 and try them all out for precisely 3 1/3 days each

stick with the roman banks one because I was having a major roman evan stan moment (I still am but less feverishly)

annabelle-ify it innnn. november 2020? and never change it back.

feel left out as everyone changes their icons for pride month because mine already has a pride flag, hence this monstrosity

SONGS I THINK WOULD FOR MY TWST OC IF THEY OVERBLOTTED!

Arie:

This mailing cause of his life growing up and he would just have his breaking point

Ashton/Ash

Ok, I've seen people use it for Jamil and I say yes, but if anyone should overblot as well with this song it HAS to be Ash!

Tired being left out of everything and not being who they are and grieving his mother would make them do something he didn't want to do

James:

Okay, I've debated James to overblot but if he does it'd be because his life isn't like the books he read daily and nightly

Allen:

This would be his overblot song since I already say Icon For Hire's song Off With Her Head is Overblot!Riddle's song and I can see him showing off his bruises and scars on his body as he shed off his jacket as he sings "I get it, give me a little credit, I remember when I was that pathetic. Wear my scars on my sleeve, for all the world to see like, "Look what they did to me quick, lay on the sympathy thick'"

Dylan:

Okay, this'll be sadder cause it'd be mostly for Azul. Dylan loves and adores his older brother and wants to do whatever it takes to make him happy and self confident, even something that could kill him.

Despite that he feels lonely like nothing he does would make him be noticed and he just hides it

Rashad:

He's based off Jasmine, why wouldn't I use this song???

Adel:

OKAY THIS IS MOSTLY ANGST AND TALKS ABOUT BODY DYSPHORIA AND ENVY AND JOW ME AND @gay-salt-amber HEADCANON THE HUNT FAMILY IS A BIT BROKEN

Adel would sing this about Neigh, they're in the actor's dorm, they know how obsessed with him, they feel like life would be better if they looked like Neigh and people would love them and know them, that their father would know them better and be proud
