2023 has proved to be a great year for movies, and many of the best have yet to reach the same audiences as their wider-release contemporaries. Many festival favorites have yet to have their full releases, but when they do, you should definitely view them sooner rather than later.
There are also plenty of 2023 hidden gems that you should check out instead of letting them fall into the pile of “watch later” that so many people never find the time for.
How To Blow Up a Pipeline
If you want a thriller film that brings the same feelings of a high-intensity heist, then you should look no further than How To Blow Up a Pipeline.

Leave the World Behind
Leave the World Behind is a dystopian thriller where all technology becomes inaccessible because of a wave of global cyber-attacks. In the movie, just as in real life, cyber-attacks are a common business insurance exclusion, but the film’s businesses and people have a lot more to worry about than insurance claims.
The world is descending into chaos, but without a plan and understanding of the situation, what can you do?

Godzilla Minus One
Many movie buffs tend to look past Godzilla films, despite their immense global popularity, but if there’s one Godzilla movie to watch from the last couple of decades, Godzilla Minus One is it.
There’ve been nearly 40 Godzilla films since Godzilla first came out around 70 years ago, and none get to the heart of the Godzilla story that the first film had—except for Godzilla Minus One. It’s emotional, incredibly well made, and will stick with you long past the time you’ve left the theater.
Bottoms
If you want a high school romp that toes the line, crosses the line, and runs past the line beyond that, then you want to watch Bottoms.
Emma Seligman, Rachel Sennott, and Ayo Edebiri bring camp back to high school while telling an incredibly hilarious, but still poignant, story about gender, love, and identity. It’s funny, heartfelt, and vulgar in all the right ways.
