We’re halfway through the year, and the first six months of 2023 have already brought moviegoers some real cinematic delights. There have seen action-adventure pictures like “Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Amongst Thieves,” horror movies like “Scream 6,” “The Boogeyman,” and “The Blackening,” and iconic animated adventures like “Nimona” and “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse.” For romance fans, there are movies like “Past Lives” and “Rye Lane.” Ben Affleck and Matt Damon reunited for April’s “Air,” and Halle Bailey brought Ariel to a new generation of children in May’s live-action “The Little Mermaid.”
While we’re excited for all the films the second half of the year will bring – including highly anticipated movies like “Barbie,” “Oppenheimer,” and “Killers of the Flower Moon” – we’re also taking a second to reflect on our favorite movies from the first six months of 2023. Ahead, are POPSUGAR’s 10 favorite movies of the year so far ranked.
