Laemmle Moviegoers’ Top Ten Films of 2023 Revealed!

January 25, 2024 by Jordan Deglise Moore 2 Comments

And the Top Ten Customer-Chosen films of 2023, ranked in order from 1 to 10 are (drum roll, please…):

  1. Oppenheimer
  2. Past Lives
  3. Killers of the Flower Moon
  4. Anatomy of a Fall
  5. The Holdovers
  6. Barbie
  7. May December
  8. Poor Things
  9. The Zone of Interest
  10. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
What a terrific list! Especially gratifying to see an excellent popular entertainment like Spider-Verse instead of pretentious Oscar bait whose titles shall go unmentioned. Half of these are still in theaters, in case you missed them or want to see them one more time as they were intended. The Zone of Interest, in particular, must be seen cinematically for its Oscar-nominated sound design alone. We’ll send gift cards to our randomly chosen winners Ted Bronson, Eve Fowler and Josh Messite. Thanks to everyone for playing!
