Hey all. Thought I'd try to ring out 2023 with a listing of the five movies I thought were the best of the year.

So yeah, after catching this on AMC about two or three years ago, I stumbled across The Departed on the HBO Go app (which I love, thank you HBO).
Anyways, I used this as an opportunity to reintroduce myself to the film, and suffice to say, I did enjoy it.
Rating Scale:
12/10—a complete masterpiece; flawless and outstanding
11/10—Excellent, near-perfect film
10/10—the standard rating; awesome film with a couple of flaws
9/10—a wonderful film with several flaws
8/10–a great film with numerous flaws but not enough to ruin it
