Travis Hopson’s 10 Great Overlooked Movies Of 2023

December 29, 2023

It’s easier than ever to put together this list of the most overlooked movies of the year. I actually haven’t done this one since 2020, the first year of the pandemic, when more movies than ever were skipping theatrical and going to streaming. There were hundreds of movies coming out back then, and now that number has only increased as digital-only platforms become the norm, rather than the exception. It’s easier than ever for a movie to get distribution, and that means more movies are out there. That’s a good thing, if you ask me.

These movies are overlooked in the sense that I feel some didn’t get the distribution they needed, or the attention they deserved. There will likely be movies on here that you’ve heard about, maybe a few that you haven’t, but all could use a few more eyeballs on them. And I’ve made it a point not to use anything that I may have already put on my Best Movies of 2023 list. For instance, I could’ve easily put Rye Lane and If You Were The Last on here, too.

So check it out, my list of 10 Great Overlooked Movies of 2023.
