Alec Kerr, film critic for The Conway Daily Sun, and guest host Rob Clark share their picks for their favorite movies of 2023.

Before it gets too much later into 2024, I should share my favorite movies of 2023. To be clear, these are my favorites, not necessarily the best of the year. So, while I liked and respected movies like “Oppenheimer” and “Poor Things,” I’ve chosen five films that I unapologetically loved.
