Barack Obama shares his favorite movies and books of 2022
CNN
—
Former President Barack Obama stuck to an annual tradition Friday, releasing a list of his favorites for the year of 2022, including movies and books.
“I always look forward to sharing my lists of favorite books, movies, and music with all of you,” Obama tweeted. “First up, here are some of the books I read and enjoyed this year. Let me know which books I should check out in 2023.”
Among his favorite written works, Obama listed “The School for Good Mothers” by Jessamine Chan and “The Light We Carry” by former first lady Michelle Obama, noting, “I’m a bit biased on this one.”
On his list of favorite movies, the former president included “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Descendant,” which he also noted he was “biased” about since the Netflix documentary was produced by the Obama-founded company Higher Ground Productions.
“I saw some great movies this year – here are some of my favorites. What did I miss?” Obama wrote in another tweet.
Social media denizens quickly pointed out that Obama left off the list one of the highest grossing movies of the year: “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” The Marvel hit and sequel to 2018’s “Black Panther” has come in second behind “Top Gun: Maverick” in box office gross this year, bringing in more than $421 million at the domestic box office alone since its November release, according to Box Office Mojo. “Black Panther” made the list of Obama’s favorite movies in 2018.
Check out the full list of Obama’s favorite movies and books for 2022:
“The Light We Carry” – Michelle Obama
“Sea of Tranquility” – Emily St. John Mandel
“Trust” – Hernan Diaz
“The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams” – Stacy Schiff
“The Furrows: A Novel” – Namwali Serpell
“South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation” – Imani Perry
“The School for Good Mothers” – Jessamine Chan
“Black Cake” – Charmaine Wilkerson
“Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands” – Kate Beaton
“An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us” – Ed Yong
“Liberation Day” – George Saunders
“The Candy House” – Jennifer Egan
“Afterlives” – Abdulrazak Gurnah
“The Fabelmans”

Obama Reveals His Favorite Movies Of 2022 And ‘Avatar’ Did Not Make The Cut – Deadline
In what has become an end-of-year tradition, Barack Obama revealed his favorite movies of 2022. The list is, as usual for Obama, weighted toward prestige films. One title that’s not on the list: Avatar: The Way of Water.
It could be that Obama simply hasn’t caught James Cameron’s latest. It’s best seen on the big, big screen and such showtimes have been packed, potentially proving a security hassle for the former president. Also missing is another high-quality blockbuster, Wakanda Forever, despite the fact that the original Black Panther made his 2018 list. One blockbuster that made the cut this year: Top Gun: Maverick.
Among the prestige titles that did make the 2022 roster are Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans, Chinonye Chukwu’s Till and Todd Field’s Tar. Not on the list is Antione Fuqua’s Emancipation. It’s not a top 10 list – it’s a top 17 – so there doesn’t seem to be a numerical limiting factor.
Obama actually asked for comments about movies he missed.
“I saw some great movies this year – here are some of my favorites. What did I miss?” he wrote.
You can see all the former president’s 2022 picks below, and below that is his 2021 list, for comparison.
