Final chapter of the #2022films list for #FilmMastodon...
Special Mention to two older movies I finally watching this year and loved: The Grand Budapest Hotel, and Into the Spiderverse. Easy 5 stars for each.
My favorite movie of the year is one I have already rewatched! Congratulations to...
RRR! Minute-for-minute, no other movie will bring you pure blockbuster joy like RRR. A movie for everyone!
Continuing the #2022films list for #FilmMastodon ...
5. Saloum - A beautiful, stylish, and thoughtful Senegalese action western folk horror.
4. Bodies Bodies Bodies - Scream for the Zoomers, this was so much fun with a killer script that's very "of the moment".
3. The Northman - A true viking epic that would fit in next to Beowulf or any classic tale. The most metal movie of the year!
2. Everything, Everywhere, All At Once - Just thinking about the 'laundry and taxes' line makes me tear up.
Okay, #FilmMastodon, let's talk about my fave #2022films.
10. The Outwaters - Indie madness that eschews coherence for dread. Not for everyone.
9. Pearl - Welcome back, Ti West! I think a lot about Mia Goth's final shot over the end credits.
8. Nope - A movie that you know you'll get something new from every time you rewatch.
7. Bullet Train - Just a whole bunch of fun.
6. Skinamarink - The most terrifying movie I've seen in years, nothing is shown and yet it is awful like a nightmare.

• everything everywhere all at once

No top 10 list, but a recommendation:
COP SECRET - a homoerotic buddy-cop-comedy from iceland by Hannes Þór Halldórsson.
Sometimes a bit silly, but a lot fun to watch playing with the tropes of the genre

So how did 2022 compare previous years in regard to great movies?
Well, let's look at my 8+ ratings, as I feel that in a good comparison of the better-than-just-good films.
As you can see, movies (or/and me?) have been in a slump since 2020. Though 2022 might take off a bit from the previous years, when I finally get around to watching the rest of my 2022 to-watch list. Fingers crossed for a 10 hiding in there somewhere.
And some honorable mentions of at least somewhat noteworthy films of 2022, that I haven't mentioned.
⬥ Defunctland: Disney Channel's Theme: A History Mystery
⬥ Where the Crawdads Sing
⬥ The Batman
⬥ Not Okay
⬥ Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me
⬥ Violent Night
⬥ The Northman
⬥ The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
⬥ Hello, Goodbye and Everything in Between
⬥ The Princess

In 2022 I watched 138 movies and 14 shorts. Of these, 94 (62 %) were released in 2022 (per IMDb). Since today is the last day of 2022, I wanted to take a look back at the films of 2022.
First of, the best of the best, in particular order:
⬥ Everything Everywhere All at Once
⬥ Prey
⬥ Don't Make Me Go
These were three absolutely amazing movies - in each their own way. They fully captivated me and took me along each their journey.
THREAD! 🧵
It's been a busy movie-watching week as I try and tick off some of the yet-to-see-2022 films before end of the year, while also trying to keep it Christmassy at the same time.
I still hope to get in EEAAO and Banshees of Inisherin in the next few weeks.
