Barack Obama gives you ideas if you don’t know what else to watch: the former US president’s favourite films in 2022

Former President Barack Obama has kept to his annual tradition and published a list of his favourite films, books and music in 2022.

“I always look forward to sharing my lists of favorite books, movies and music,” Obama wrote on Twitter. “First, here are some of the books I’ve read and enjoyed this year.”

“Saw some great movies this year, here are a few of my favorites. What did I miss?” wrote Barack Obama in another of his tweets.

Apparently the former US president is reading it to his wife Michelle, plus he’s matching the music of the moment, adding a song performed by sensation Lizzo to the list.

What’s more, Obama seems to be a big fan of blockbusters, with Top Gun among his favourite films: Maverick.
