I am going to mix things up and see if others want to add theirs too.
I have not seen a few contenders, including Poor Things, which I strongly suspect will make my list.
My 10 best viewing experiences of 2023
#10) Forks-The Bear (tv)
#9) Rye Lane (movie)
#8) How to Blow Up a Pipeline (movie)
#7) Oppenheimer (movie)
#6) The Holdovers (movie)
#5) Long, Long Time-Last of Us (tv)
#4) the Bear-The Bear (tv)
#3) Killers of the Flower Moon (movie)
#2) Connor’s Wedding- Succession (tv)
#1) Past Lives (movie)
Two episodes from one show seems dumb but I couldn’t leave them off. Honestly a third one from this season of the Bear could have made my top 10.
