It’s year-end list time. What are your favorites from 2023? María Jesús Contreras Record of the year Three weeks left in the year, but don’t be fooled: December has its own peculiar velocity. Weeks seem to pass more quickly as the month goes on, a downhill sled picking up speed. Depending on your orientation to the holidays, the end of 2023 or time’s passage in general, this could feel exciting or it could be bewildering. Here we go, ready or not! Into the small hours of the year, into the dawn of another one. One way to keep track of time is to keep track of how you spend it. What did you watch or read or cook or listen to or otherwise consume this year? This is one of the virtues of best-of lists. They’re a way to organize a year, and a generally positive one at that. You look back over 12 months and ask: “What did I love this year? What do I recommend?” I’ve already loaded my queues and playlists with picks from The Times critics’ year-end lists: the best [movies](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVtbBP0TVaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wMS9tb3ZpZXMvYmVzdC1tb3ZpZXMtMjAyMy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzEyMDkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA5NzMwJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTIxNDkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmVzwVF0ZUPBqZZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), [theater](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVtbBP0TXaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNC90aGVhdGVyL2Jlc3QtdGhlYXRlci0yMDIzLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTIwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDk3MzAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MjE0OSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZXPBUXRlQ8GpllIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), [comedy](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVtbBP0ThaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMi8wNS9hcnRzL3RlbGV2aXNpb24vYmVzdC1jb21lZHktb2YtMjAyMy5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTkmZW1jPWVkaXRfbm5fMjAyMzEyMDkmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTA5NzMwJm5sPXRoZS1tb3JuaW5nJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD0xNTIxNDkmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmVzwVF0ZUPBqZZSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAw~~), [albums](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVtbBP0TZaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMS8zMC9hcnRzL211c2ljL2Jlc3QtYWxidW1zLTIwMjMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD05JmVtYz1lZGl0X25uXzIwMjMxMjA5Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEwOTczMCZubD10aGUtbW9ybmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTUyMTQ5JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgplc8FRdGVDwamWUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~). As much as I love these genre-specific lists, what I always long for are highly specific, culturally omnivorous inventories of personal favorites. I want a list that includes everything, regardless of genre: yes, the best thing you watched, but also the best thing you ate, the best advice you received, the best app you discovered, the best line you encountered in a movie, the best book you read that’s been sitting on your shelf for more than a decade, the best change you made to your evening routine. Last year, readers of The Morning sent in their own [highly personal, category-free favorites](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnVtbBP0TjaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMi8xMi8yNC9icmllZmluZy95b3VyLWZhdm9yaXRlLXRoaW5ncy1vZi0yMDIyLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9OSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9ubl8yMDIzMTIwOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDk3MzAmbmw9dGhlLW1vcm5pbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE1MjE0OSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZXPBUXRlQ8GpllIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD), and the result was a rich trove of recommendations that I’ve been plumbing for the past almost-12 months.

This film from Paul King (the auteur behind the marmalade-sweet “Paddington” films) offers a “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” prequel, imagining the early life of Willy Wonka, the culinary genius with a peculiar succession strategy. Hollywood’s boy prince Timothée Chalamet stars as the erratic chocolatier, with Hugh Grant as a grouchy and extremely orange Oompa Loompa. 📺 “The Crown” (Thursday): Since it debuted on Netflix in 2016, “The Crown,” Peter Morgan’s lightly fictionalized survey of Queen Elizabeth II’s reign, has courted adoration and controversy. Luxurious, measured and mildly provocative, it has invited many of England’s finest actors to pass the roles among them, like batons in an opulent relay race. These final episodes, the latter half of the show’s sixth season, nudge the monarchy toward the present, with story lines including Prince William’s courtship of Kate Middleton. God save.

GAME OF THE WEEKEND [Lebron James, wearing a yellow and purple basketball jersey, points a finger in the air.] LeBron James in the semifinal game in Las Vegas. Ethan Miller/Getty Images Los Angeles Lakers vs. Indiana Pacers, N.B.A.: This is the championship game of the N.B.A.’s In-Season Tournament, a new midyear competition akin to those in European soccer. The matchup is a great one: The Pacers are a young, fast team with an emerging superstar in Tyrese Haliburton. The Lakers are led by LeBron James, who at age 38 is still — when he musters the energy — the best basketball player on earth.
