I like the new table talk approach, it feels more personal, like you're actually sitting down to have lunch or something with your viewers and talk about movies. I like it man, plus the wall art ain't bad to see either 😉
I got a new piece of wall art yesterday that you can't see on the video. I'll have to message you a picture of it later. I love it!
The only two I’ve seen were Anatomy of a Fall and Oppenheimer, and I preferred Anatomy, but I’ll have to check out some of these others you recommended.
Definitely check out Past Lives and The Holdovers.
1. The Zone of Interest
2. The Holdovers
3. Poor Things
4. Oppenheimer
5. Killers of the Flower Moon
6. American Fiction
7. Past Lives
8. Anatomy of a Fall
9. Barbie
10. Maestro
You and I have very different tastes 🤣 But it's all good man.
Great vid as always mate
My ranking (top to bottom) was:
American Fiction
Poor Things
Oppenheimer
The Holdovers
Barbie
Killers of the Flower Moon
The Zone of Interest
Maestro
Anatomy of a Fall
Past Lives
I think Maestro over Anatomy and Past Lives is crazy personally, but it's all subjective, so fair play to ya.
How many Best Picture winners do you have left, Bryan?
I got 16 to watch that I've never seen before but a heck of a lot more than that when it comes to the ones I've never reviewed, and many of those are going to need a rewatch before I do review them.
@@BryanLomax I got 12 left and 2 I have to rewatch.
I'm excited for all the upcoming content you will eventually make when you finish this project
Solid list. Side note, I really do miss how films on average had shorter run times. Don't get wrong, i love a great 3 hr film. But come on, a lot of films recently overstay the run time. Not to mention, it feels like extra work trying to plan around a 3 1/2, 4 hr film lol
Oh, I hear ya! It seems like so many films these days are 2 hours and 20 minutes. Like, why?!!! Did you really need that extra 20 minutes?
My list:
1. Oppenheimer
2. Poor Things
3. Killers of the Flower Moon
4. The Holdovers
5. Past Lives
6. The Zone of Interest
7. Anatomy of a Fall
8. Barbie
9. American Fiction
10. Maestro
I just cannot understand the love for Poor Things, aside from the technical aspects.
@@BryanLomax the humor really worked for me.
I haven't seen them all yet, but I agree with a lot of what you've to say here.
This is the first year in a long long time that 'Best Picture' went to the right film.
Bryan, it's great that you saw all 10, and I enjoyed hearing your list and reasoning behind it. I've seen six so far, and my ranking is as follows, from best to worst: Oppenheimer, The Holdovers, Anatomy of a Fall, Killers of the Flower Moon, Past Lives, and Maestro (while I liked Maestro more than you did, it is still on a level below the first five, and I liked and agree with your compare/contrast with Past Lives). Also, the first two are the only ones of my top five that I feel are pretty firm in standing, with the next three perhaps to be shuffled around given the day and mood. I still really want to see American Fiction and The Zone of Interest, and I will probably also see Poor Things, though I have been put off some by the trailers and some of what I've heard of it (though I did like, or at least appreciate, the two films I have seen of that filmmaker, Dogtooth and The Lobster). Also, I saw a little under half of Barbie on a reaction channel, and I at this point don't have a strong desire to see the rest, though I might give it a go when I have Max for a month again sometime.
The only thing I can recommend watching, that might convince you to want to go watch Barbie, is Michael Knowles review of it.
@@BryanLomax He had an interesting take, for sure. I've seen some quite different takes as well, so I will probably give it a go next time I get a service it is on and see for myself. Thanks!
Opppenheimer is the best especially considering it won
Interesting to hear your list Bryan! I really liked Poor Things but I had a feeling it wasn’t going to be your thing.
I definitely agree with your thoughts KotFM and Barbie. I’m someone that’s happy for people to put political elements in movies as long as they’re done well. Liked Barbie a lot but there was a couple of eye roll moments!
Oppenheimer was incredible.
Need to see Zone of interest and Anatomy of a fall. Not sure I can face Maestro 😂
Yeah, Maestro had to be done over a few nights for me 🤣
@@BryanLomaxThe fact it took you a few nights and you’re somebody who has managed to brace for a number of those best picture 3 hour musicals from the 30s recently, that says a lot about Maestro 😂
I’ve only seen 5 of the nominees. Here’s my ranking:
5. Barbie
4. Killers of the Flower Moon
3. Past Lives
2. The Holdovers
1. Oppenheimer (easily)
Barbie is the only one of these films I’m not really a big fan, Killers of the Flower Moon was great but too long imo. It could have been almost an hour shorter than it was. Past Lives and The Holdovers were absolutely fantastic and some of my favorites of last year. And Oppenheimer is tied with Across the Spider Verse as my favorite film of 2023. Just an outstanding film in every way.
You got all those films in the same order I have them in. Well played 😉
@@BryanLomax thanks dude! My personal favorite films of 2023 ranked were:
5) Past Lives
4) The Holdovers
3) Godzilla Minus One
2) and 1) Oppenheimer and Across the Spider-Verse
I’m so glad Godzilla Minus One won Best Visual Effects. That film blew me away with how good its CGI was especially on a super low budget of 15 million US dollars. Compared to the overblown expensive crap Hollywood puts out constantly, it’s quite mindblowing.
Love the riddler figurine in the background bryan I've got all the batman 2022 figurines myself 😅😍 great video bryan 👍❤
I'd love to have the others but I couldn't justify the expense 😆
Just curious..what do you think should have beat out Parasite in 2020? I personally think that was one of the most correct Academy decisions ever.
Hard agree on Oppy.
Yeah, I really need to watch Parasite again, coz I feel like maybe I missed something first time around. I still rated it a 4/5 though and thought it was a great film. I also thought that was one of the strongest selection of movies nominated for BP in the same year. Not a bad film among them. But personally I'd have gone with Joker.
Fair enough, respectfully disagree.
I think Joker is a good movie, lot's ai love about it. Chiefly, production design, score, and acting. It's just hard to completely get past it being very derivative of 2 much better scorcese movies, taxi driver and king of comedy. Hey, just one man's opinion.
@@user-ov7cd7yw9f personally I've always found Taxi Driver a bit overrated. I've never connected to the central character. And being derivative isn't necessarily a bad thing. The fact that Avatar and The Last Samurai are derivatives of Dances With Wolves doesn't stop either one being a great movie in its own right. It's all in the execution. And having a brother on the fringes of society, due to autism, getting messed about by social services, made the film very relatable to me.
1. Oppenheimer: 9/10
2. Killers Of The Flower Moon: 9/10
3. Barbie: 7/10
Poor things and Barbie just weren’t for me either.
Maestro was terrible imo.
Lily Gladstone was robbed. I didn’t feel the film was that long at all. I didn’t feel the length at all but that’s me.
A lot of films I wanted to be nominated or win this year didn’t get in.
Perfect Days didn’t get anything
All of Us Strangers, Fallen Leaves, Peasants, Iron Claw, Promised Land and Raptito weren’t nominated at all.
Covenant, Indy 5 and Fair Play were three of my favorites of the year too Ngl. I even wish Priscilla had been nominated. John Wick 4 didn’t get stunts I believe?
Poor Things was beautifully made but I hated where they went with the story and characters. It's a film that I will NEVER rewatch, that's for sure!
@@BryanLomax Agreed, I didn’t have anything bad to say about the filmmaking but the story was taking me out so many times
John Wick should be guaranteed in that category! Shocking if it didn't!
This is painful to watch. A reminder at how shit 💩 my local multiplex cinema is. Think ive seen less than half of these 😢.
It just annoys me that we don't even get the majority of them until the Oscars are practically upon us. Then we're supposed to run around playing catchup.
@@BryanLomax yeah I normally have to go at 1030/1100 am on a Sunday or travel into town Edinburgh. Really want to see the holdovers.
@@jordanmoran1983 my uncle could send it to you if you like.
@@BryanLomax for a second I was thinking "you have an uncle in Edinburgh?" 😂. That would be swell, thank you.
