The Top 10 Films I Watched This Year II

As the Bravo Alfredo blog approaches its second anniversary, I reflect on the films I have watched this year. 

In the summer, I rewatched the Mission: Impossible films ahead of Mission Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One and later on in the year I ticked off one of the entries on my bucket list, #23. To watch Interstellar in an IMAX cinema.

However, below is the list of the Top 10 films I have watched this year.

1. Arrival (92%)
2. Jaws (92%)
3. Interstellar (91%)
4. Léon (91%)
5. 12 Angry Men (90%)
6. All Quiet On The Western Front (90%)
7. The Hunt (89%)
8. Oppenheimer (89%)
9. Miller's Crossing (88%)
10. 1917 (87%)

Denis Villeneuve's Arrival tops the list. Arrival is a "remarkable piece of cinema. Visionary, cerebral and contemplative." 

Christopher Nolan is the only director to have two films appearing in the Top 10 list - Interstellar and Oppenheimer.

The Top 10 films I have watched this year spans five percentile points, an identical range to last year's list - Inception (95%) to Wings Of Desire (90%). Only Christopher Nolan and the Coen Brothers have films featuring on the Top 10 lists in both years.

I have also compiled a Top 10 list of films released in 2023 that I have reviewed.
