Movies including Maestro, Nimona, and May December were among the best Netflix movies of 2023. This year, the streaming giant will once again deliver in a variety of genres and mediums.

It’s not uncommon for memories of specific movie moments to become distorted with time and most viewers remembering them one way, and some of these corrupted memories end up becoming part of pop culture, making it harder to believe that, in reality, they were completely different or, simply, they never happened.

When done well, movies with huge casts can be incredibly immersive, portraying a detailed world filled with believable characters. To name just two recent examples, Oppenheimer and Barbie both succeeded with this formula. They each featured huge casts, but they maintained a sharp focus on their core protagonists. Problems often arise when a huge cast draws focus from the main characters, and the plot suffers as a result.

Superhero movies have struggled in the past few years, with some claiming that superhero fatigue has finally seeped in, making audiences turn on the genre. While the box office failures of multiple Marvel and DC movies, such as The Marvels and The Flash, seem to point to that theory being true, movies like Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness have shown that some of Marvel's best movies, as well as the best DC films, might still be on the horizon.

Biopics have always been popular, but they seem to be gaining even more prominence. Music biopics are the latest Hollywood trend, with Elvis, Bohemian Rhapsody, Rocketman, and more all being released in the last few years. Biopics aren't just commercially viable, they also seem to be perfectly tailored for awards-season success, so they probably won't slow down any time soon.

A year removed from Michelle Yeoh's breakthrough win for Everything Everywhere All At Once, the 2023 movies released have once again provided some memorable roles for actresses to dive into. As it pertains to awards season, there are some perennial contenders once again in the mix, while some lesser-known stars are also attempting to break into the race in a meaningful way. That has left a wide-open race for Best Actress in 2024 after Yeoh was viewed as the frontrunner the year before for some time.

Any time a science fiction story envisions a drastically different future, whether it's a technologically-advanced utopia or a bleak, devolved post-apocalyptic wasteland, it's always difficult to gauge exactly how far into the future the calendar should be. While it's easy to laugh from the vantage point of the present at the overly-ambitious dreams of sci-fi writers, it's exceedingly difficult to predict the flow of technological advancement and societal change.

The wizard who guides Frodo (Elijah Wood) on his journey as well as Bilbo (Martin Freeman) before him in The Hobbit. In many ways, he exemplifies the archetype of the wizard character, and he is great at dispensing wisdom. While Gandalf is also extremely powerful, as one of the few Istari in Middle-earth, his intelligence is one of his greatest strengths. Many of Gandalf's quotes are still enshrined in pop culture today, decades after the original movies were released, and his wisest are always worth remembering.
