Watched 300 movies in a year for the first time in a decade... not optimistic I'll see any hits before January, so here's a quick list of my favorite first-time watches in 2023 📽️: 1. The Chase (1966) 2. Deadbeat at Dawn (1988) 3. There's Always Tomorrow (1956) 4. Ishtar (1987) 5. Targets (1968)

Long shot of Bubber Reeves running across a rice field, silhouetted by the sunset. Screenshot from The Chase (1966).
