As a cinephile with over four decades of film-watching under my belt, I find myself consistently impressed by the diverse and thoughtful selections made by former President Barack Obama for his annual list of favorite films. His keen eye for cinema that pushes boundaries, tackles complex themes, and showcases unique perspectives is truly commendable.
Each year, Barack Obama typically shares his top movie picks, a custom that marks another year in this longstanding tradition from our former president.
In a concise message posted on social media, Obama suggested a handful of films worth watching this year.
The full line-up, listed in no established order by Obama, includes “All We Imagine as Light,” “Conclave,” “The Piano Lesson,” “The Promised Land,” “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Anora,” “Dìdi (弟弟),” “Sugarcane” and “A Complete Unknown.”
Many movies on the ex-President’s recommended list are anticipated to receive recognition in award discussions, with “Anora,” “Conclave,” the pairing of “A Complete Unknown” and “Dune: Part Two” being likely contenders for the Best Picture category at the Oscars. Additionally, “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” set in Tehran, is Germany’s entry for the Best International Feature Film category. Among other notable mentions, apart from “Dune” and “A Complete Unknown,” all of Obama’s picks this year premiered at various film festivals, such as Sundance (“Dìdi (弟弟),” “Sugarcane”), Cannes (“All We Imagine as Light,” “Anora,” “The Seed of the Sacred Fig”), Telluride (“The Piano Lesson,” “Conclave”) and Venice (“The Promised Land”).
In the previous year, the movies that former President Obama particularly enjoyed included the eventual Oscar winner for Best Picture, “Oppenheimer”, as well as other nominees such as “Past Lives”, “American Fiction”, “Anatomy of a Fall” and “The Holdovers”. Additionally, it included productions like “Rustin”, “Leave the World Behind” and “American Symphony”, all of which were created under their production banner Higher Ground. In contrast, his list for this year is more compact, containing less than half the number of titles compared to the 2023 line-up from Obama, which boasted a total of 14 movies – including a late addition of the musical adaptation of “The Color Purple”.
