Barack Obama Also Shares His Favourite Movies And Books of 2022

It’s approaching the end of this long, arduous year, which means former President Barack Obama can flex on everyone by bragging about all the great sh*t he’s read and seen in retirement.

Barack Obama, 61, first announced his choices for his favorite books of 2022, which included a total of 13 titles—a mix of fiction and non-fiction—and a team of Gen Z/millennial assistants. The Light We Carry by his wife Michelle was first on the list, with the qualifier, “I’m a bit biased on this one.” Other books on the carefully chosen list included Imani Perry’s exploration of the American South, South to America: A Journey Below the Mason-Dixon to Understand the Soul of a Nation, by Emily St. John Mandel, whose time-travel novel Sea of Tranquility HBO Max has acquired the rights to adapt, and Charmaine Wilkerson’s Black Cake, a book about solving a family mystery after a death.

I always look forward to sharing my lists of favorite books, movies, and music with all of you.

Obama has reportedly been busy watching all of his DVD screeners in the movie department. On his list of the best movies of all time, he listed 17 titles, including the documentary Descendant from his own production company Higher Ground, Steven Spielberg’s autobiographical drama The Fabelmans, Gina Prince-epic Bythewood’s The Woman King with Viola Davis and Tom Cruise‘s Top Gun: Maverick.

Obama also mentioned the Asghar Farhadi film A Hero, even though it was initially released in the United States in November 2021 and that Farhadi is said to have stolen the idea for the movie from one of his students.
