Jan 16, 2024 By Mark Redfern Photography by Mark Redfern

Anyone who knows me, knows I love film. I may not have ended up in the film industry, but I did graduate from film school (USC School of Cinematic Arts), was a script reader for a division of Miramax Films, and once interned for film director Kathryn Bigelow (Point Break, The Hurt Locker), before embracing my other passion, music, and starting Under the Radar. I’ve been a cinephile most of my life and had a pretty big VHS collection in high school (when I also reviewed films for the school paper).

In 2023 I set a goal of watching as many movies as possible, in particular a lot of classics I’d never seen before. While I fell far short of watching one film a day, I did manage to watch a total of 234 different films in 2023 (and a few I saw more than once). Partially inspired by British film director Edgar Wright (Shaun of the Dead, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, Baby Driver), I decided to log every film I watched. At the end of each year Wright posts to Instagram a list of all the films he watched in the previous 12 months. In fact, it’s an ongoing list that he updates a few times throughout the year. So herein is a list of all 234 films I watched in 2023, along with the 76 TV shows I watched at least one episode of (in many cases I watched full seasons).

I have indicated with an asterisk the films and TV shows I watched for the first time. I also noted the years and directors of each movie, as well as how I viewed them. Some were seen in the theater, others at home. In 2022 we installed a pull down screen and BenQ projector in our basement, and in early January 2023 our home theater was completed with the addition of 5.1 surround sound. Most of my home viewing was done via the projector, either on Blu-ray or DVD, or via a variety of streaming services. A handful of films were watched on our living room 4K TV or in our bedroom via VHS or laserdisc (my player from college still works).

I tried to watch a wide variety of movies, across different genres and from various decades. Some we showed to my now 11-year-old daughter Rose (she was 10 most of 2023). We also had a screening series, where we invited friends over on Friday or Saturday nights to watch something in our home theater.

The movie I saw the most times in 2023 was Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse, which I saw five times in the movie theater and one time at home due to it now being Rose’s all-time favorite film (supplanting her previous all-time favorite, Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse)—Rose saw it seven times in the theater and three more times at home. I would definitely say that Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse was one of the very best 2023 releases I saw. Other favorite new films released in 2023 include Oppenheimer, Godzilla Minus One, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, The Creator, Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Blue Beetle, The Flash, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, and Asteroid City. But it should be said that I have yet to see many of 2023’s most acclaimed new films, the ones up for awards, because most don’t play in our town (we have a three-screen theater downtown and a drive-in on the outskirts of town, and both play mainstream Hollywood hits). We have to drive at least an hour away to see indie films and if they are R-rated (meaning we can’t take Rose) then that’s hard to pull off. A lot of the awards contenders I end up watching early the following year on Blu-ray or streaming. In fact, already this January I have watched Past Lives, The Holdovers, Saltburn, and Killers of the Flower Moon, all 2023 films destined for Oscar nominations. The first three of those I would add to my favorite films of 2023 list, but I was more mixed on Killer of the Flower Moon.

In 2023 I watched quite a few films by Brian De Palma and Alfred Hitchcock I’d never seen before, two masters of suspense. I also watched lots of Jackie Chan films, thanks to two box sets of his movies Shout! Factory sent us. We rewatched almost all the Mission: Impossible movies (except for the terrible John Woo-directed second one), showing them all to Rose for the first time in anticipation for taking her to see the latest film in the theater.

In 2023 I got the Britbox streaming service solely so that I could watch as many of the classic Doctor Who episodes I’d never seen from the 1960s to 1980s. It’s my favorite TV show and I’ve seen every modern episode (2005 onwards), but there were many older episodes I hadn’t watched (or perhaps watched as a child but didn’t remember). And with Rose I also rewatched a lot of the modern episodes (mainly the ones starring Peter Capaldi and Jodie Whittaker).

You might ask how I have time to watch all these movies and TV shows. Well, I work from home mainly and am my own boss. I will often start a movie at lunch and then finish it while doing something mindless, such as checking my email. Sometimes while making dinner I’ll watch part of an old Doctor Who episode on my phone. Generally I don’t watch more than one movie a day, although on National Cinema Day (when tickets were only $4.00) Rose and I saw four movies in the theater. You may ask how I can afford to watch so many movies and shows. A lot of Blu-rays were sent to me for free for our Holiday Gift Guide. I have a complimentary press Hulu account. I was gifted annual subscriptions to Paramount+ (which includes Showtime) and Britbox last year. Ticket prices in our town aren’t too high ($9.00 for an evening show, $6.00 for matinees). You can often find DVDs and Blu-rays for only $1.00 or $2.00 at Goodwill and other charity shops, and at the monthly sale at our local public library they are also only $1.00 (and VHS tapes and CDs are only 10 cents!). And then we also subscribe to Max, Netflix, Peacock, Disney+, and Amazon Prime, all of which feature a slew of new and classic movies. And since we cover film and TV, as well as music, at Under the Radar, it aids my work to be on top of new movies and TV shows. (And yes, I have a Letterboxd account, but I barely use it and find it easier to just log my films in a Word document.)

So far I’ve watched 11 films in 2024, although none in the theater yet. I’m watching a film right now as I type this, 1981’s Excalibur (directed by John Boorman and starring Helen Mirren, Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson, Gabriel Byrne, Ciarán Hinds, and many others). This past Christmas my wife gifted me 3D glasses for our projector and I’ve been on the look out for 3D Blu-rays (so far I have 18), so 3D will be a big part of 2024’s viewings. It’s January 16 as I write this and with 11 movies watched this year, I’m already five short of watching a movie a day in 2024, but we’ll see what the year brings.
