Bill Hader's Favorite Movies of 2023🎥
I still haven’t seen “Poor Things” or “All of Us Strangers,” both of which I hear are great. That said:
“All the Beauty and the Bloodshed” — I think this came out in 2022, but I saw it this year and loved it. It turned me on to her photography, which is phenomenal.
“Anatomy of a Fall” — That couple fighting in the kitchen was so well written, directed, and acted I thought I was going to have a panic attack. And Milo Machado Graner’s performance is beautiful.
“Beau is Afraid” — This felt like the nightmare a nervous guy has before he visits his overbearing mother. One of the boldest American films I’ve seen in years. Kylie Rodgers drinking that paint! Jesus…
“The Boy and the Heron” — A legend! I like how he animates gusts of wind.
“El Conde” — Ed Lachman’s cinematography is gorgeous. And the visual effects are very well done.
“Evil Dead Rise” — I’m a sucker for “The Evil Dead” movies. I’ll never look at a cheese grater the same again.
“Fallen Leaves” — Simple and beautiful storytelling. Their first date is one of my favorite scenes of the year.
“Killers of the Flower Moon” — One of my heroes adapting one of my favorite contemporary authors, I went in with big expectations and was completely knocked out. Scorsese somehow continues to discover new moves in his storytelling. I’ve never seen a love story like this in his movies. And the banality of evil that De Niro portrays I haven’t seen either; it’s usually Biblical evil! It’s very inspiring. And it was nice seeing the light and the land of my home state faithfully captured on film.
“May December” — Unbelievable performances from everyone. Natalie Portman’s recreation of the letter! Stoned Charles Melton on the roof! And Julianne Moore continues to prove she might be the best living actor in the world. I’ve always been a huge Todd Haynes fan, and this is one of his best.
“Showing Up” — Kelly Reichart is a national treasure. Her films have the simplicity/complexity of a great short story. I love the sound in her movies. A campfire in one of her movies sounds different from campfires in most movies (although I don’t think there’s a campfire in this one).
“Talk to Me” — What a great idea for a horror movie! I said, “Oh no” out loud multiple times while watching it alone in my house.
“The Zone of Interest” — I can honestly say I’ve loved every movie Jonathan Glazer has made — all four of them! He’s so confident in his instincts. Like that opening title! The static camera. The sound design. The music! All the withholding. It adds up to an experience I’ve never had watching a movie. And all I do is lay around like a slob watching movies, so that’s really saying something.
Thank you @martymcdie88mph for bringing this to my attention❤️

Holiday Viewing 2023
I hope everyone is enjoying the holidays despite everything. This month, I got to watch some Christmas movies that were either or just ones I never got around to before now, and seen a few of this year's Oscar candidates.
The Shop Around the Corner: Two shop workers (James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan) are unaware that they are penpals. Yes, this is the movie that was eventually made into You've Got Mail. I wasn't really interested in the romantic plot, but I did love the subplot of the shop workers rallying around their unhappy boss (Frank Morgan) after his wife cheats on him. That was some Christmas movie magic right there.
Nuts: Barbra Streisand's more lesser known role as a call girl whose mental state is put on trial after she kills a client in self defense. I had to watch it after reading her memoir, and while the movie wasn't exactly well-received, she played the hell out of it.
Noelle: Anna Kendrick plays Santa's daughter, who tries to find her brother (Bill Hader) when he ditches the North Pole for yoga instead of taking over as the new Santa.
8-Bit Christmas: Screw A Christmas Story! I can relate better to watching a kid desperately try to get a Nintendo for Christmas instead of that stupid Red Ryder. Plus, any movie with Neil Patrick Harris is a win.
Candy Cane Lane: Eddie Murphy unwittingly faces being turned into a Christmas ornament after making a deal with an evil elf for the best Christmas decorations ever. Forget the reviews calling it dumb and corny--Christmas movies are ALWAYS dumb and corny! That's why we like them! And I thought it was hilarious.
The Family Plan: Basically National Lampoon's Vacation if Clark Griswald was an assassin instead of just an incompetent dad.
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the original. However, while this pretty much followed the formula of a Disney direct-to-video sequel -- child of a legacy character wants to see their world while their traumatized parent wants to stay put -- it was pretty cute.
May December: Holy crap. This was amazing, in a morbidly disturbing way. Julianne Moore has never been more despicable as a predator who married her teenage victim. Charles Melton gives one of the most heart wrenching performances of the year as an emotionally stunted man that is only now coming to terms with what was done to him. And Natalie Portman as the actress who stoops to sociopathic levels for a film performance. Just watch it.
Maestro: Regardless of whether or not you think Bradley Cooper deserves all the hype he's been getting for this, he sure does know how to disappear into a role. And Carey Mulligan was fantastic in this...although I just found out that she wasn't exactly an appropriate casting choice ethnicity-wise. Godammit, Hollywood, I thought we weren't going to do this crap anymore!
