#bestmoviesof2023 #worstmoviesof2023 #filmoftheyear - Фільми й анімація
“Cameo bukkake” is my favourite pairing of words of 2024 so far.
If my mum watches this she will be very very mad at me for using that word
Barbenheimer was THE cultural event of 2023. I'm fortunate enough to have seen both on the big screen. I was blown away by the acting, writing, direction, visuals and soundtracks. Past Lives was also a true gem.
This channel deserves more views honestly. I really like the dry delivery, editing/music and clear love of film. Accent is also fun to listen to, ngl.
So happy you gave They Cloned Tyrone some love. Came out the same weekend as Barbenheimer and got totally buried and forgotten quickly the way most Netflix movies does but even more so in this case. Definitely in my top 3.
It's emotionally powerful, piss-your-pants funny and all tied together with a satirical exploitation bow...I absolutely loved it
@inframeout Couldn't have said it better myself. Cheers. 😊
Is it weird that I love hearing you say "Jennifer C / Claire MD / Becchio" at the end of every video? At this point it's practically your theme song.
It's extremely satisfying to say
The way you said “dingus” when talking about Barbie absolutely cracked me up.
I didn’t get to see too many movies last year, but I think Barbie was my favorite out of the ones I did see. Just an absolutely wonderful and goofy time that reminded me of one of my favorite movies of all time (Josie and the Pussycats).
Also, I have said this a lot, but I was honestly pleasantly surprised about how much I enjoyed Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I wasn’t a big fan of the last movie so I was shocked at how emotionally mature it was. And I say this as someone who has been following Gunn’s career since Slither.
You weren't a fan of the "Yeah we said the rapist is acutally a solid guy, but we thought nobody would ever know we said it." ""apology""? Weeeeeeird...
One of the most bafflingly wrong-headed attempts at PR damage limitation I have ever seen
I'm sorry what the fuck happened with who in the how now?
Yeahhhhhh Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote a letter asking a judge to be lenient and reduce a prison sentence for their friend who raped multiple women because he "is a really nice guy if you get to know him"
@@inframeout Jesus christ.
"Ghosted" might have worked had Ana de Armas and Chris Evans be established as a long term couple, a la "Mr and Mrs Smith." Instead, it's ridiculous that he's following her to London after knowing her all of two days. Also, could they not have found a better wig for De Armas. It just looked so tacky, yet cost millions of dollars. She mercifully ditches it in favour of her real hair in the final five minutes.
I gotta be honest. If you can look past the insane budget and stars, and what it means to have objectively nothing movies with those resources... *while* netflix is deficit spending guided by an algorithm and what that also means... I didn't *hate* it. It was a sleeve of saltine crackers where someone can tell you all about the ancient grain that went into them, and how they themselves dehydrated the salt water from some far off space.
What I'm saying is like saltines if you're sick or hungover and napping it's the perfect thing. It was holiday hallmark in a different genre without ad-time.
You cannot convince me that Rom com with Kutcher and Witherspoon exists.
We truly are part of a faulty simulation
They Cloned Tyron is probably in my top five.
great vid as always
Shit, infinity pool and Dream Scenerio are also in my top ten.
It's been a phenomenal year for weird , conceptually provocative indie film
Happy New Year, I/F/O! Great selection as always.
I saw poor things and now I'm working on Barbie. I absolutely loved Poor things, but barbie is just odd to me, I enjoy barbieland, but the real world stuff and the CEO and how it can just cross over, doesn't make sense to me
Best films I saw this year were;
Little Shop of Horrors and Buckeroo Banzai
Were they made this year? Nope. But I'd never seen them before so they were my favourites.
Plenty from this year is good too but, you likes what you like innit?
Kamikaze Girls is literally on my own honorable mention list for 2023 for this reason.
God I love the turns of phrase you use. 😂❤ Every time I watch, you get such a shocked and earnest laugh out of me
The fact that Oppenheimer is only an honorable mention honestly says more about the entrees on the actual top 10 then it does about Oppenheimer. If Oppenheimer is only an honorable mention, then the top 10 movies must be amazing.
Ah yes, "toilet chugging time wasters"... Spectacular!
I would have rather sipped toilet water than sat through "Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania"
I love your writing. You have a real way with words and do a great job summing up how these movies made you feel.
I agree!
I shudder to think of the horrors that await us if The Flash was only a dishonorable mention
Let's just say one of my worst films of 2023 is a literal QAnon propaganda film
Any video that references ColecoVision must be praised
Heart of stone sounds like that Wanted movie from 2008. The one with young professor X and an old Morgan Freeman. But without the over the top action or the temptation towards corruption that a device that can predict the future gives you. Or any device that can give you a leg up against everyone else. Its weird how in these movies you rarely have someone say 'what if we used this to take over everything?' even as a simple thought experiment among characters debating ethics and morality.
i still can't believe the flash let the mental health joke in the final cut.
No Hard Feelings does have one thing going for it. Two, technically.
"Cameo Bukkake" 😅😅😅😅😅 Hey man, there's a beverage here.
Thankyou for reminding us again that all things good do not come from Hollywood!
I’m looking forward to never hearing the word Barbenhiemer again!
This and RLM are the only two “movie” channels I watch on UA-cam. Your stuff is super high quality and the commentary is on point. It’s not in this video but I’m trying to work “toilet lasagna” into the lexicon
As I am replying to your lovely comment, I'm actually rewatching an old Best Of The Worst episode!
I should have more to say about the whole video but I can't stop thinking about what part of Wes Anderson's career you find insufferable. Are we talking specific movies or more general stylistic aspects that pop up throughout his career?
I'm mainly referring to when the style is there in place of substance rather than as a device to bolster and sell the more substantive elements.
My least favourite Anderson films for that exact reason are "Moonrise Kingdom" and "Isle Of Dogs" which felt more like parodies of his aesthetic to me
Moonrise Kingdom is actually the only Wes Anderson movie I haven't seen but that was kind of always the vibe I got from it so I was never in a real hurry to rectify that, though I should still get around to it. And while I love Isle of Dogs for the art of stop motion and as a love letter to Japan it always rang the most hollow out of his catalogue.
Been glad to see the French Dispatch and Asteroid City have some of the most poignant and emotionally contemplative moments of his filmography for me.
It's not like I disliked The Killer, but...we could have gotten another season of Mindhunter instead.
First off, I love your writing. Your praise and takedowns are enjoyable and hilarious.
I want to stan a little bit for No Hard Feelings. It's not great but I enjoyed it. The movie knows it's trash and leans into it just enough. J Law's performance sells it for me. She plays the townie dirt bag well and I like seeing her in a film she appears to be having fun in. I think the movie balanced sincerity without being saccharine and was able to make jokes without being at someone's expense specifically. The movie sort of laughs at everyone and how we can all be strange assholes at times from someone else's perspective.
Keep up the great work!
Nice list, here is my Top 10 Favorite Films of 2023
10. Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre
9. The Iron Claw
8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem
7. Killers of the Flower Moon
6. The Holdovers
5. Godzilla Minus One
4. John Wick Chapter 4
3. Air
2. Bottoms
1. Oppenheimer
I cannot wait to see "The Iron Claw" when it releases here
OMG Bottoms was f'ing NUTS I LOVED IT!!!
@@inframeout I hope you enjoy it, it is really emotional with great performances
Agreed, it was very funny and I love how insane in random the climax is
If all of that is the dishonorable mentions, what even made it into the Worst List?
Not a big fan of Asteroid City - notice how the horizon ie exactly in the middle of every single shot!
[Captain America understanding that reference.gif]
Do you have a letterboxd? I’d be interested to see what you watch throughout the year
It's at the link in the video description 😊
I love these videos.
Not sure it's fair to criticize Oppenheimer for the lack of fully developed female characters. This was a movie about the Manhattan Project whose key players were almost entirely men, so the movie understandably devoted most of its screen time to developing those characters. You could make another whole movie about Jean Tadlock and Katherine Oppenheimer, and probably a very good one. But for this movie, if Nolan had placed a huge focus on those characters and diverted attention away from the core Manhattan Project story, he would probably have wound up with something far more forgettable and muddled like Napoleon.
I agree, whilst also saying "Oppenheimer" does continue Nolan's issue with being absolutely incapable of writing a female character that isn't hysterical, irrational, furniture or a love interest who dies
I definitely got the sense oppenheimer continues Nolans trend of writing women how he sees them sexy, intelligent and broken after men mistreat them. Has Nolan wrote a male character that had a positive impact on a female character?
That's why I love this channels list, because you actually watch EVERYTHING. Its a hard task, but one very few other reviewers actually do
When UA-cam grifters say "Oh, this is the worst year for cinema ever!" and then just cite a bunch of $200 million movies made for children, it rips my heart out....
...and I'm not saying that as some sort of art house snob. I'm saying it as someone who loves dumb comedies, dumber action movies and total schlock. There's plenty of excellent examples of whatever you like, it's just about stepping outside of the culture war nonsense and trying something different.
Thanks for the lovely comment
Right on cue, many more people are about to experience the mistake that is the streaming tentpole blockbuster with Matthew Vaughan's Argylle, since Apple, clearly hoping to get content into theaters after Amazon made their decision to do so, chose to hedge their bets on this would-be franchise and release it in theaters. With Netflix's streaming blockbuster crap, you could be free to just back out any time, but with a film you paid money for in theaters? You have to sit through all of the issues that come from trying to make a blockbuster but for a streaming service, and so many more people (outside of those who actually watch Netflix's limited releases in theaters) are going to realize this.
And then you weep when a more deserving film like Richard Linklater's Hit Man is going to be buried hard by Netflix's algorithm just because they poached it away at TIFF from other distributors, in favor of the latest espionage blockbuster they want to push this year (and there are far too many of them to count too in fact).
That letterman jacket sleeve bit was very specific....
18:50 digs like this are what I sub for. Beautiful.
Murphy and Pugh deserve all the awards just for getting through filming that cramped office sex scene
We Loved No Hard Feelings, I lmao, different strokes and all eh? 😉
Here are my predictions for films that will appear in your best and worst lists:
Best:
Elemental
Beau Is Afraid
The Holdovers
Thanksgiving
Godzilla Minus One
Missing
Poor Things
Sympathy For The Devil
Theater Camp
No-One Will Save You
Paint
Worst:
The Marvels
Rebel Moon
Mafia Mamma
Wish
Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey
Sound Of Freedom (Given your comments about it in the Barbie section of the video)
Jingle Smells
Strays
Wonka
The Machine
I also want to mention Air, because I feel like it'll be on one of your lists, but I don't know if it'll be on the worst or best list.
I actually liked "Air" quite a lot!
As for your guesses, you've got about three right
@@inframeout Cool. I just didn't know if you'd like it based on your comments about Flamin' Hot.
Also, awesome!
Damn! Did not know Lance Reddick died - RIP
Nice to see a shoutout to Cairo Conspiracy. Went in with almost no expectations and liked it a lot.
Nuanced, tragic and deeply unnerving...just as a thriller should be
And probably not an inaccurate portrayal of the corruption of the Egyptian state security services.
💕💕💕💕
I did not vibe with Astaroid City it just annoyed and bored me.
Totally fair!
I will volunteer myself for the firing squad here: I dislike Barbie the more I think about it, and it's not because I'm right-wing. I'm not. It's a functional enough comedy, and the costumes and set design are lovely. But it's also a film that simultaneously wants backpats for being a critique of capitalism and the patriarchy, and one that dares to ask the question, "what if sexist guys are just like that because the girl they were crushing on didn't care about their feelings?" I'd probably feel less ill disposed towards it if it hadn't been accompanied with a merchandising blitz insisting that the movie was a celebration of all things female, and that every woman should feel grateful to this movie and to Mattel for making Barbies to begin with. I played with Barbies as a kid. I have no ideological objection to them. But I have a big ideological objection to the pinkwashing of feminism as a political movement, one that argues that we can buy our way out of the patriarchy with these handy tie-in makeup palettes.
All absolutely fair, valid criticisms and concerns - each articulated and reasoned without fault.
Thanks for sharing (and I assure you, I don't assume everyone who doesn't like this particular corporate product is a right wing chud...just the extremely agro ones who send threats and abuse because Barbie is trying to destroy masculine men... apparently)
John wick sucked, thats why i never saw it
Oppenheimer sucked, i saw it because im an idiot
the royal hotel was terrible. no hard feelings was at least watchable
Barbie wasn't as pro-equality as it claims to be. The Ken's essentially went back to being second-class citizens at the end of the movie.
...it's a satire about what actually happened when women were given progressively more autonomy with the advent and acceptance of equality practices (in that women were given some things, but told they'd have to "wait their turn" for most forms of parity).
The roles are just reversed to make a point
You're so close!
@@inframeout That could've been conveyed better. I just feel for a movie being touted as this feminist tour de force, it could've been done better. Granted, I'm sure Mattel had some stipulations.
@@maskoolio5824 No, I get what the movie was saying. That Ken's are the Barbieworld's equivalent to real women... except they're not. It's not as black and white in real life.
HM1. Hell yes. This film is awesome. I still think that The Grand Budapest Hotel and The French Dispatch are better, but Asteroid City is still a darn good movie!
HM2. Another agreement. I actually reviewed this on my channel, and yeah it was great. A few moments that came across as too on the nose, but an overall genuinely fantastic ride. And that's coming from someone who had no experience with Barbie before watching.
HM3. Haven't seen.
HM4. Also haven't seen.
HM5. Not my thing.
HM6. Also, also haven't seen.
HM7. Haven't seen
HM8. Haven't seen
HM9. Haven't seen.
HM10. I really wanted to see this movie, but I never found the time.
HM11. Haven't seen.
DM1. Yup. No arguments here.
DM2. FUCK YES. An absolute cash grab that nobody asked for and a continuing reminder of Hollywood's unending obsession with Nostalgia Bait.
DM3. I've heard of this movie, but never watched it.
DM4. There are not enough words to express how much I agree with you. I despise literally everything about this movie. EVERYTHING.
DM5. I've seen some ads for this movie. It looks insanely mid.
DM6. Haven't seen.
DM7. Eh, I thought this was decent.
DM8. The only reason I know this movie exists, is because there's a youtuber I like that's also named Hypnotic, and this film comes up whenever I search for one of his videos.
DM9. The fact that this film even managed to get greenlit is just appalling. And all the films you brought up in this segment are either really good or I haven't seen.
DM10. Generic and boring romcom #57B.
The way you said “dingus” when talking about Barbie absolutely cracked me up.
I didn’t get to see too many movies last year, but I think Barbie was my favorite out of the ones I did see. Just an absolutely wonderful and goofy time that reminded me of one of my favorite movies of all time (Josie and the Pussycats).
