Maybe...
1. Oppenheimer - (Christopher Nolan)
2. Barbie - (Greta Gerwig)
3. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse - (Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers & Justin K. Thompson)
4. Killers of the Flower Moon - (Martin Scorsese)
5. Poor Things - (Yorgos Lanthimos)
6. Past Lives - (Celine Song)
7. Anatomy of a Fall - (Justine Triet)
8. The Zone of Interest - (Jonathan Glazer)
9. The Holdovers - (Alexander Payne)
10. The Boy and the Heron - (Hayao Miyazaki)
11. Godzilla Minus One - (Takashi Yamazaki)
12. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - (James Gunn)
13. Perfect Days - (Wim Wenders)
14. John Wick: Chapter 4 - (Chad Stahelski)
15. May December - (Todd Haynes)
16. Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One - (Christopher McQuarrie)
17. American Fiction - (Cord Jefferson)
18. All of Us Strangers - (Andrew Haigh)
19. The Iron Claw - (Sean Durkin)
20. Monster - Hirokazu Koreeda

Only one issue: How is May December above All of Us Strangers? According to my data, AoUS grossed about four times as much as MD, has a higher user rating and a higher number of ratings on both Letterboxd and the IMDb, a higher Metascore, and a higher critics and audience score on Rotten Tomaties. Swap and we're good.

2023 update is up on the first page.

[pauldrach]

Good. Was the 2022 update (with Suzume) agreed on btw?

[ManPerson]

I was also wondering how people feel about moving Aftersun > Tar on the 2022 list. Tar had more awards success but Aftersun has higher critic and audience ratings pretty much everywhere + higher ranking on TSPDT + twice as many ratings on Letterboxd and more ratings on IMDb as well, indicating higher lasting popularity (too early to really say, but still).

(Wim Wenders) does not need parenthesis on the front page

I'd feel good about that.

I'd have Sinners at #1, I think.

[Dubrow555]

It really only wins in pop. right? One Battle has a clear lead in critical acclaim on every list, plus a sturdy win in audience acclaim - plus swept the award season. So I don't really see it honestly.

[Tim]

Guess the idea would be Sinners making a lot more money than OBAA while also being highly acclaimed. And you say Sinners only wins popularity which may be true but by the same token OBAA only wins acclaim as it's really too early to talk about influence for either.
