    Oppenheimer (2023)

    #1 First seen in IMAX at 7am on Barbenheimer weekend and then subsequently rewatched as the director intended on 70MM IMAX film at The BFI IMAX Cinema a few weeks later. The film pulled me into a world of political and scientific intrigue with an entire cast at the top of their game. Brilliantly inventive writing and direction from Chris Nolan tell a complex story wrought with tension, despite knowing the final outcome. An insightful warning at the end for us all.

    The Taste of Things (2023)

    #2 Seen at its world premiere at The Cannes Film Festival. The film tells a magical story of dedication and love, all set around food. You will laugh, you will cry, you will feel hungry by the end.

    Rye Lane (2023)

    #3 First seen at its world premiere at The Sundance Film Festival in January where the crowd went wild with appreciation for this engaging and funny love story from director Raine Allen-Miller, brought to life by the two fabulous leads, Vivian Oparah & David Jonsson.

    Saltburn (2023)

    #4 First seen as the opening night film of The BFI London Film Festival with great support from the home audience. Emerald Fennell has crafted another deliciously wicked script and directed it into life with same skill as her debut feature. I will never be able to hear Pulp’s “Common People” again without thinking of Rosamund Pike’s character.

    Past Lives (2023)

    #5 First seen at The Sundance London Festival, having missed it due to scheduling in Park City. Celine Song’s debut feature is a deeply moving story about love and loss.

    Barbie (2023)

    #6 First seen in the afternoon of opening day for Barbenheimer weekend in a packed cinema which added to the fun as we laughed along at the jokes and were engaged by the more serious points. What a true delight from start to finish and richly deserving of the success which it has seen.

    All of Us Strangers (2023)

    #7 We were at the UK premiere for this film at The BFI London Film Festival. Kristy Matheson, director of the festival, introduced the film with a bold declaration that it would change our lives and she was right. What a unique story and perfect cast. The less you know going into this one, the better.

    Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One (2023)

    #8 I saw this twice at the cinema during its opening week, once with my wife here in the UK and the second time with the IMDb Seattle team. What an amazing ride both times. The M:I team once again raised the bar on stunts and one of my favourite IMDb customer reviews of the movie (thanks HalBanksy) sums it up so well with this opening sentence: “I have just watched the greatest car-chase in the history of cinema, and that still wasn't even the best scene in the movie!”

    A Thousand and One (2023)

    #9 This is a very special film by writer/director A.V. Rockwell and we saw it at its world premiere at The Sundance Film Festival where it received a much-deserved rave response. It has much to say about family and love, along with some unexpected turns along the way. I am looking forward to whatever she does next.

    Killers of the Flower Moon (2023)

    #10 First seen at its world premiere in Cannes and then rewatched at an industry screening during The BFI London Film Festival, so I have spent around 7 hours this year watching the film. The time goes remarkably fast as we follow this important and shocking story with Lily Gladstone a highlight in the ensemble cast.
