These are my best Film / series experiences of the year. What are yours?

My personal context coming to this film was as a child of a Hanford engineer where every other business had "Atomic" in the name (some still do), where the high school mascot is, to this day, a mushroom cloud, and most people here see nothing wrong with that. I worked at Hanford, too, and once visited the core of the 300 Area, so Los Alamos felt very real to me.
Oppenheimer's moral confusion and emotional journey felt visceral and mirrored my own processing of these events. From "They had it coming" to "OMG what did we do and how could we have justified that??"
The issue is certainly nuanced and complex, and I feel the film properly explored the subject, tho its subtlety at times might have been lost on this who needed to understand it most.
I don't tend to rewatch movies but this one warrants a second viewing just to figure out all the rapid-fire dialog. It captured the spy v. spy paranoia that few post-Cold War espionage films have been able to convey.
2/2
Saw Oppenheimer finally. Had to spread it over two nights because the first half is a 90-minute informationally dense YouTube vlog editing out any moment to simply pause and try to understand what's going on. I was ready to hate the film for that reason alone but maybe that's what old people felt like watching The Matrix in the 90s? The physics was way easier to understand than trying to figure out who was who doing what to whoelse.
Second half things started to come together. There were a lot of cinematic innovations that conveyed emotion in a very powerful way.

Them: Here's a list of all the popular movies of 2023
Me: I literally only saw the Mario movie. Once. With my kids. That's it.
After a few of the #HorrorFam pointing out some omissions I have remade the collage with Ash and Jason (can't believe I missed them).
Everybody happy now? 
Good. There is no room left on the collage.
