2022 was certainly a great year for movies, though it's undeniable that Hollywood is still regaining its footing from the impact of the pandemic, ensuring there weren't nearly as many films released as there were in, say, 2019.

But 2023 looks set to be a major year of recovery for the industry, with a more densely-packed slate of mega-budget blockbusters and auteur-driven "arthouse" films alike.

It'd be easy to make a list of 100 hotly anticipated, incredibly exciting movies set to drop over the next 12 months, but whittling the list down to 50, these are the ones that absolutely, positively need to be on your watchlist.

Whether you're in the market for a globetrotting blockbuster packed with practical action sequences, an escapist Marvel thrill-ride, a star-studded prestige drama, or a movie about a bear huffing a bag full of cocaine, 2023 has got something for everyone.

Both on the big screen and on streaming at home, the next 12 months should deliver the most stacked year for cinema in recent memory, and confirm that panicked reports that the medium is "dying" have been most certainly exaggerated...
