BFI has published its list:  www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-sound/polls/50-best-films-2023?utm_source=pocket-newtab-en-gb

Sadly I've only seen three, Rye Lane which I was surprised to see in the list, Oppenheimer, and number 1 in the list Killers of the Flower Moon.  I'm in a minority for the latter as I though it was too long and tedious. And I can name much longer films that I have enjoyed  such as Once Upon a Time in America tops four hours.  No The Old Oak.

Barbie is in there, I just couldn't go, sorry.  I used to see many more fringe films and foreign films when I first came to London being a regular at the Ritzy and the like when they were very much art house, having done similar when living near Oxford and also the Bluecoat when in Liverpool - doesn't have a cinema club any more.   Hats off to the Peckham Plex, and yes of course the Plcture House.  I should also try Crystal Palace

Views my good friends?

At the cinema I saw four films. I liked Oppenheimer and Napolean, also Living. TopGun Maverick - if it came out this year I can't remember - was also very good fun (at the cinema) but I shan't want to see it again at home in a hurry! Napoleon was my favourite and I hope to see a director's cut either at home or at the cinema, which is likely to be longer and, for me, even better.
