Glasgow has been treated to some huge Hollywood blockbusters this year with 2023 being a massive year for the industry.
We also had the cultural phenomenon preceding and surrounding the release of Oppenheimer and Barbie on the same day during July called Barbenheimer which had huge crowds flocking to the cinema to see Cillian Murphy and Margot Robbie on the big screen. Between them, the films took in a combined £130 million in ticket sales with there even being a release from the legendary Martin Scorsese.
Here are some of the best films we watched in Glasgow cinemas during 2023.
