John Waters Reveals His Top 10 Films of 2023 – Ari Aster & Schrader

“Dig it. Dig it deep, sir.” Always a delight to find out John Waters’ loved from this past year in film! One of our favorite “best of the year” lists that kicks off this time of the year is from filmmaker John Waters – his Top 10 favorite films in a list that is unlike any other. For 2023, Waters has chosen a rather intriguing mix of 10 favorite films, featuring Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer (yes for real!) and Ari Aster’s Beau Is Afraid. His previous Top 10 list from 2022 included two François Ozon films on it, but this year there is no Ozon or Dupieux, though there are three other French films that he enjoyed for various kooky reasons. Highlights from 2023 include the excellent thriller Full Time, and Aki Kaurismäki’s romantic comedy Fallen Leaves (which everyone else adores, too).
