Great video! I appreciate these because it shows the stats that Letterboxd Pro, and definitely makes me interested. On a side note, I’d love to hear some of your favorite films from the Golden Age of Hollywood. It’s an era I’ve been really getting into and I’m always looking for more recommendations!

I am pleased that Dick Miller was my most watched actor of 2023.

Billy Wilder being my most watched director was a surprise. Meyumi Tanaka being most watched actor didn’t shock me; spent September on a One Piece kick cause of the anime and live action show lol

2023 was my first year using Letterboxd, and it took me a while to know the difference between logging a film and marking it as watched, so I have 247 diary entries, but it’s probably closer to 260.

I noticed that Chronos is one of your favorite movies on Letterbox. I find that really interesting as I wouldn’t peg that as being a movie for you lol

Loved this video! A few Russian films I'd recommend: The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!, Ivan's Childhood, Sputnik, and Viy.

I reviewed all the Irish folklore trilogy movies last year on my channel thanks to you.

Happy Friday! I liked Popeye as a kid! I drew him. And, of course, wanted to, and did, eat spinach like him. Cool, DJ! I agree that James Stewart is the greatest actor of all time. However, I just saw Conner's old recommendation for greatest acting in a movie (he could have changed his mind...and I also could be misremembering so I will be asking him after writing this!), and Liv Ullman's Eva (Autumn Sonata) is the most three dimensional character I can think of besides Daniel Day Lewis' Reynolds Woodcock (Phantom Thread) and Ernest Borgnine's Marty Piletti (Marty), so highly recommend it! I loved it! It's an amazing performance. However, despite the movie being PG, and looking at Liv Ullman's other movies, I don't think she'll top James Stewart for me since my criteria of greatest is something that can appeal, and even better uplift, the most people universally, which is a reason why It's a Wonderful Life is my pick for greatest movie of all time being a near perfect enduring universally appealing film that will uplift the human spirit, and it looked like there's some racy content in her filmography whereas Jimmy Stewart's performances are more appropriate for a wider range imo. Similar to why I choose Twilight Zone over Senfield as the greatest tv show of all time, since families and younger kids could see Twilight Zone. Autumn Sonata is an amazing movie imo, and if someone asked greatest acting of all time, I would suggest watching it. Liv Ullman's facial acting is incredible. I have to think about it, since I don't have a list, but I think it's in my all time favorite movies. And for 2023, I only saw 4 movies: Sound of Freedom- 9/10 It's art imo! Here's hoping it shapes and moves to people to change society to value justice and the sanctity of life. Probably going to be in my all time favorite movies. "God's children are not for sale." Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3- 8/10 Relative to a Looney tunes-esque sci-fi action fantasy, I appreciated how much it, not the same degree, showed a value for life. "There are the hands that made us, and then there are the hands that guide the hands". Possibly the most I enjoyed a Disney movie since Wall-E and the first two Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Nefarious- 7/10- Good film on spiritual warfare, but had a cheesy segment that, unfortunately, brought it down imo. Fantastic performance. I, personally, liked more than the Exorcist. Air- 6/10- it's a well acted Nike commercial. Wasn't it cool that New Year's Eve, ended with rhyme of sets 1 2 3 (12-31-23)? Here's hoping for a great year for you and your family, DJ!

I'm way behind on movies from 2023. I find myself just watching The Hitcher, Gladiator or Jaws 2 again...

I think that I saw 14 2023 films, and my favorite 2023 film is The Flash.

Just 2 stars to Eyes Wide Shut?? The hideous Crystal Skull is the second best Indiana Jones? No!! And no movies from Brazil? That's fine, I'm a Brazilian who dislikes our movies. 😂 La Piscine is fantastic, by the way!

I noticed that your list 2023 film having seen is quite low, I was wondering if you wanted some recommendations of the best films from the year imo. Here's a list of 10 for you to make it easier on yourself, I'm going to only include films not yet listed on your letterboxd btw and in alphabetical order: - A.V. Rockwell's *"A Thousand and One"* (Amazon Prime Video, also is a film about being a single parent) - Takashi Yamazaki's *"Godzilla Minus One"* (It might be still on a few theater screens) - Daniel Goldhaber's *"How To Blow Up a Pipeline"* (Hulu, the title speaks for itself) - Sean Durkin's *"The Iron Claw"* (Theaters, will eventually go to Max) - Martin Scorsese's *"Killers of the Flower Moon"* (AppleTV+... it was just added to the service today!) - Hirokazu Kore-eda's *"Monster"* (only found online through... alternative methods... but aside from that it's told in a very cool Rashoman style of story telling, it's a film largely about bullying tho the themes do go much deeper than that) - Troy Quane & Nick Bruno's *"Nimona"* (Netflix... this is an animated family film, might want to check it out before showing to your kids) - J. A. Bayona's *"Society of the Snow"* (Netflix... this is my favorite film of 2023, definitely not for children) And then these last two are not online yet and hard to find in theaters, but I would keep a close eye out for: - Tran Anh Hung's *"The Taste of Things"* (Beautiful french romance film that is centered around cooking) - Jonathan Glazer's *"The Zone of Interest"* (Really fascinating film that is about a unique view on the Holocaust, showcasing what a normal day is like for the commandant of Auschwitz's family's day to day is like while living next to the camp. It's unsettling to watch as they act normal throughout the day like if nothing horrible is happening on the other side of their house's wall) Also since you asked, here's my letterboxd account: letterboxd.com/MagnitudeReview/
