2023 by Month

A list of the best and worst films of each month as I watch them in 2023. Odd numbers are the best and evens are the worst.

Special note: I watched Napoleon (1927) twice this year making it the best of two months. April and November. As a film can only be on a list once, the second place film for November is here instead.
