By Former United States President Barack Obama has revealed his favorite movies of 2023 in an annual tradition.
He calls out three particular films which his Higher Ground label helped produce this year – the acclaimed Colman Domingo-led biopic “Rustin,” the Julia Roberts and Mahershala Ali-led end of world thriller “Leave the World Behind” and the musician documentary “American Symphony”.
Obama says: “I’m biased since these movies were produced by Higher Ground, but these are in fact three of the best films I saw this year.”
To make sure he’s not been seen as playing favorites, he released a list of ten other films he considers the year’s best: “The Holdovers,” “Blackberry,” “Oppenheimer,” “American Fiction,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Monster,” “Past Lives,” “Air,” “Polite Society” and “A Thousand and One”.
It follows on from last year when Obama’s favorites included the likes of “Top Gun: Maverick,” “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and “Aftersun.”
Obama also mentioned the strikes that dominated entertainment headlines this year, saying: “Earlier this year, writers and actors went on strike to advocate for better working conditions and protections. It led to important changes that will transform the industry for the better. Here are some films that reflect their hard work over the last year.”
