KDTime: Top Ten Movies from 2013 with Jonah

 Episode 84

Jonah and I tackled movies from 2013 that we deemed were our top ten movies. On one hand these we didn't see every single movie from that year, but when we thought about the movies that came to light during we knew which ones stuck out to us 10 years later. 

The year 2013 was a pivotal one in cinema, with a slew of groundbreaking films that continue to influence the industry today. From thought-provoking dramas to pulse-pounding blockbusters, the top ten movies of 2013 left an indelible mark on audiences and filmmakers alike. "Gravity" revolutionized the way filmmakers approached visual effects, immersing viewers in the vastness of space like never before. Meanwhile, "12 Years a Slave" tackled themes of race and identity with unflinching honesty, sparking important conversations about systemic injustice.

Other notable films of 2013, such as "The Wolf of Wall Street" and "American Hustle," redefined the crime genre with their sharp wit and larger-than-life characters. "Frozen" captured the hearts of audiences worldwide with its unforgettable music and empowering message of self-discovery. Meanwhile, "Her" offered a poignant exploration of love and loneliness in the digital age, foreshadowing the growing impact of technology on human relationships. These films, among others, continue to serve as touchstones for contemporary filmmakers, inspiring them to push boundaries and explore new storytelling techniques. As the cinematic landscape evolves, the legacy of these groundbreaking movies remains a testament to the power of storytelling to inspire, provoke, and entertain.
