Favorite Films of the Year: 2022 Edition
Lists are dumb. Movies are not. Separating ten is a tall task but nontheless here goes.
It hould be worth noting there are WAY too many films left off this that probably should be on it. Living in Orlando prevents me from seeing many of the prized indie films that often get shown in LA and NY first. I also don’t get to the theater or stream as much as I’d like due to work commitments. So for the sake of honoring that list it will follow the Top 10 list.
1. The Banishees of Inisherin
2. The Northman
3. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery
4. Top Gun: Maverick
5. Everything Everywhere All At Once
6. The Fablemans
7. The Silent Twins
8. Elvis
9. Turning Red
10. See How They Run
Here’s the 15 I’d most like to add to this list:
1. Bergman Forever
2. Crimes of the Future
3. Decision to Leave
4. Fire Island
5. Happening
6. Living
7. Moonage Daydream
8. Parallel Mothers
10. Petite Maman
11. Tar
12. The Whale
13. The Worst Person in the World
14. Triangle of Sadness
15. Women Talking
And 10 more I’d like to add to the list:
1. Armageddon Time
2. Babylon
3. Brian and Charles
4. Cow
5. Fire of Love
6. GDT’s Pinocchio
7. Utama
