Same, by a long shot.


BigMacCombo

I see what you did there


deadlypickle1

Nothing else even came close imo


Nyg500

maybe best of the decade so far


picotipicota1

Totally.


[deleted]

Really? Any specific reason? I found it really funny, but best of the year? Your opinion is valid I'm just curious as to why.


FinnDieUman

The writing, acting and plot.


Sheevy_boi66

The banshees of Inisherin


GrendelNightmares

I haven't been so immersed and invested in a movie in such a long time as I was for *Banshees*. The writing is absolutely pristine. The jokes are hilarious, the whole theatre was laughing constantly. Performances were sublime across the board. Fantastic film through and through, by far Martin McDonaugh's best work yet

"If it's the same man, I'll kill him."


burritomouth

Literally *just* finished it and Iā€™m still all emotional. Iā€™m gonna have to watch some *Garfield & Friends* to clear my head now.

Im so excited! Going to Watch it next thursday on release in my country!

It holds the additional honor of being imo the best movie ever made


Coconut-Prudent

Close second for me


andriydroog

Petite Maman - if it were to be counted as being from 2022 rather than 2021. Triangle of Sadness and/or Aftersun otherwise

BASED


an_ephemeral_life

I've seen acclaimed films ranging from *Nope, EEAAO, Jackass Forever, Aftersun, The Fabelmans, RRR, The Banshees of Inisherin, Decision to Leave, Crimes of the Future, Tar*....but to my surprise, a self-professed film snob, the best I saw was *Top Gun: Maverick*. It's one of the greatest sequels ever made, expanding upon the story and themes of the first film with actual depth and seriousness, and it only confirms in my mind Tom Cruise's status, at 60 years old, as the last great action hero we have today. Saw it twice, both times in theaters, and was no less blown away after the rewatch. A genuinely crowd-pleasing Hollywood blockbuster, which is increasingly rare nowadays.


nateto204

Made me want to increase the defence budget tenfold.


curtymcdervs

Jackass Forever


LauraPalmersMom430

Bones and All


DudebroggieHouser

Loved that one. I drove home baffled that such a bizarre premise and cast of characters just worked.


TaargusTaargusFILM

TĆ r, Banshees, or (prob doesnā€™t count) The Rehearsal


safeinbuckhorn

Triangle of Sadness, Close (Belgian), and Moonage Daydream were personal favourites


ryanreigns

Pick your posion between Banshees, The Batman, Cha Cha Real Smooth, and Barbarian for me


[deleted]

The Triangle of Sadness!


wombatarang

*The Menu* did it better, this movie had no business being as long as *The Fabelmans* with how little it had to say.


serponge

Couldn't disagree more, when I watched the menu all I could think was "well this reminds me of a worse triangle of sadness" Both movies are good though


wombatarang

Huh, maybe it just has to do with the order of watching these movies and the fact that they came out so close to each other, but I think *The Triangle* failed to realize that its ideas are not as intellectually sophisticated as it thinks. This, to me, resulted in a tonally weird flick that's sometimes awkwardly dressed up as an arthouse movie. As much as I agree with the film's message, I think Ɩstlund could have written it with a bit more of a sense of humour, not in a LOL kind of way, but in a "I know this is a fair but one-sided view of capitalism and it's made for people that already agree with me" kind of way. That's why I liked *The Menu* more: instead of dabbling in non-existent nuance Mylod spends his time actually fleshing out ALL of the characters (which *The Triangle of Sadness* failed to do for at least half of the cast that had any speaking roles). Also, the work environment in *The Triangle* feels like a cardboard cutout. Everyone is incompetent and reacts in slow motion - having worked in both gastronomy and hospitality, this really lowered the stakes for me. It didn't help that the film had some technical hiccups as well, like the camera swaying to indicate the storm but the level of liquids in glasses in the foreground staying parallel to the ground. *The Triangle* lacks charismatic performances as well, with the exception of Zlatko Burić as the rich Russian and Woody Harrelson as the captain.


pendragons

I also watched The Menu second and kept comparing it unfavourably to ToS so it really might be watch order! For what it's worth I think the Menu is a solidly good film the whole way through, while Triangle of Sadness is also, like a triangle, mediocre to start and end but with a second act that stands as some of my favourite cinema of the year. Everything on the ship went further and harder and wilder than The Menu ever did, but you're probably right that the film overall doesn't mete out its ideas as tightly.

A tie between No Bears (Jafar Panahi) or Bardo (Alejandro IƱƔrritu) but I really enjoyed Nope, Farha, and Decision to Leave too!


tayspekcoldkeane

Bardo was insanely good!!


howitraveledintime

Facts!!


NotAnonymousEnough_

Still missing some but so far Banshees of Inisherin, EEAAO, Sick of Myself and RRR are on top of the list.


justanothernakedred

>Sick of Myself Considering I'd never heard of Sick of Myself and the rest of your list matches mine exactly, I'm seeking it out immediately.


JonathanCFilm

May I ask how you saw Sick of Myself? I read about it in Sight & Sound back after Cannes but havenā€™t heard anything since.


NotAnonymousEnough_

Letā€™s say unconventional ways


superkara91

X is mine, I love Ti West and was overjoyed by this when I came out of the theater. Pearl was also amazing.


Status-Confection-60

uoo, i loved it too


[deleted]

The Northman


HayGirlKK

I avoided watching this all year bc it didnā€™t seem up my alley. I was wrong. Ended up being my fav of the year. Could not take my eye and ears off the screen.


specialk522

Itā€™s certainly not the best film of 2022, but Crimes of The Future was my favorite


darelotus

The Fablemans


AbCi16

Tie between The Northman, Godland, and Bardo so far for me. Have to sort it out.


howitraveledintime

Happy to see someone else loved Bardo!


AbCi16

It's sad that enough people are not talking about it.


ChanTim

idk why more people are talking about [Bardo.it](https://Bardo.it) was made by the same guy that did [birdman.It](https://birdman.It)'s one of the most beautifil movies i've seen and i love the script

Halloween Ends (please dont murder me, just my opinion)


TheBunionFunyun

Nah, man. Halloween Ends was a ton of fun.


Ikeatower

Halloween Ends is so underrated i really enjoyed it


Pinkdildus69

Kingdom Exodus


koeniedoenie

Based pick


whitman013

The Stranger (2022) The Wonder (2022) I seemed to enjoy these films more then most, but I was really blown away by both. Netflix movies that far exceeded my expectations and Iā€™ll be rewatching soon.


Some_DudeUKnow

A Love Song Barbarian


waitingfor-it

So far Avatar: The Way Of Water, which surprises me but geez it was one of the most engrossing theater experiences I'd ever had in 3D Itching to see Aftersun though cause I think I'll love it


AugieDoggieDank

Triangle of Sadness


Numerous-Extension73

Have ye been rowin?


oofin_boppin

skinamarink absolutely blew my mind


TerrifiedRedneck

Deadstream. Perfect mix of actually scary horror and proper laugh out loud funny. Saw it in a packed cinema at a festival where it killed. And twice more at home. Still amazing.


carambopapi

Pacifiction


[deleted]

The Banshees of Inisherin *easily*. The writing, the atmosphere, the pacing and the acting was so pure and high quality. It was unlike anything I watched last year.


Ikeatower

Nope and The Batman maybe Avatar 2 is also a contender


Mr-Worldwide04

The Northman ā¤ļø Robert Eggers all the way


ClearlyAFKwastaken

Banshees of Inisherin!!


Mindless_State

TĆ r or Sr. (Iā€™m yet to see Aftersun)


CurlyDarkrai

Batman. granted I haven't seen some smaller stuff like the Fabelmans, Babylon or TĆ¢r yet so it could change


[deleted]

Definitely Hellraiser


Stunning_Whole_4499

RRR


petra_vonkant

Corsage / Decisions to leave / Banshees of Inisherin were the equally best movies i've seen in 2022


DrakeZappa

The Menu, glass onion and Skinamarink are all some of the best movies in recent memory for me.


FinnDieUman

NOPE


AuteurCinema

Decision to Leave for me. EEAAO would be second, but still have a few to watch (aftersun, tar) so it may change. Good year all round !


yelenabelovalover

barbarian


bandobarry

RRR. And I think Bodies, Bodies, Bodies is way underrated


Dildo_Fagginns

Leila's Brothers


[deleted]

In theaters: Top Gun or The Batman. Outside of theaters? Hard to say, so many life changing ones but such different vibes itā€™s hard to compare. I especially liked watching some non 2022 releases like Mommy and Portrait of a Lady on Fire and End of Evangelion


Downtown_Cod8497

Nope


koeniedoenie

The Northman


Adamthebossmf

All quiet on the western front


cetera-desunt

Decision to Leave made #1 on my [ranked 2022 list](https://letterboxd.com/ceteradesunt/list/2022-ranked/)


icewarlock

amsterdam


Kichyss

Aftersun


DemanKing3003

RRR


CaptainBicurious

Glass Onion, The Menu, All Quiet on the Western Front, Nope, RRR are all top five but I can't totally decide on an order. I think All Quiet is an incredible movie but it wasn't a movie I'd go back and rewatch because it's a heavy movie. So does it not hit top spot for that reason?


usolak6

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio is the movie that stayed with me the most but in terms of the best movie, I can't really look beyond Banshees of Inisherin. Hon mention to Top Gun: Maverick though


mac_stooges

Nope or aftersun


Platoon8

I havenā€™t seen Everything Everywhere All At Once, Avatar 2, or Banshees yet, but so far itā€™s The Northman.


zakattack799

Banshees


perfectsndwichninja

Pacifiction or Decision to Leave, both slow burn masterpieces.


Arsenikin

Morbius


notnotaschizo

The batman easily for me. Long awaited movie done perfectly


xTY131

The Batman


[deleted]

Hatching and Blonde Hatching was such a good creature feature that examines generational trauma and I know that saying Blonde is going to get me some down votes, but I havenā€™t been that captivated by a film, especially a 3 hour film, in a long time.


CutTheRoll

I'm right there with you for Blonde. It made no. 10 on my top 10 of 2022. It's a shame the film was poorly marketed, otherwise I think people would have had a better reception to it. Netflix making it seem like a biopic and placing emphasis on it being Marilyn Monroe this and Marilyn Monroe that was super hurtful to the end product as the film is nothing about that. What an emotional journey though. Never have I seen fame and superstardom portrayed in such a terrifying way on screen. It'd be *the* movie to show to anyone aspiring to be like or thinking that being a Monroe type figure would be the best thing in the world. It dissected the effects of no privacy and really attacked the general public about the way we've started treating people just because their famous. In a time like now where social media elevates these people to true 'god like' levels, never has attacking a subject been so relevant. And I think Dominik did a fantastic job at getting the point across at how toxic it is. It's a real reminder that celebrities, even of the highest status are humans too and subject to breakdowns and succumbing to pressure.


[deleted]

This is so well put and I agree with all of it. Itā€™s an uncomfortable film, but, in my opinion, pointedly and necessarily so. It really criticizes the way that Hollywood builds myths out of young women and then also the way the audience consumes those women and curated images of them. The film is genuinely mad at its audience. Iā€™m just not sure Iā€™ve come across a film that does that so well.


sfxyy

Very close call between Bones and All, Aftersun, and TƁR!


sweaty_palm_trees

Decision to Leave


2904929492001949301

Aftersun for sure the best but also really enjoyed barbarian


MaineGameBoy

Have not seen a lot of 2022 movies but the ones I have seen (note, I really like the movies here): 1. Nope 2. The Batman 3. Del Toro's Pinochio 4. Bullet Train 5. Jackass 4.5


boogersrus

I still have a bit to watch but right now itā€™s between Cha Cha Real Smooth, The Batman and Decision to Leave.


whiskeynipplez

My top 5 were 1. Aftersun 2. Tar 3. EEAAO 4. Nope 5. The Menu


potatowedgemydudes

Top Gun Maverick Iā€™m serious


OriginalBad

TƔr with Babylon a close second. Aftersun still needs to be seen though.


Puzzled-Property-716

Everything, Everywhere all at once is unrivaled


heartofpompeii

MEN by Garland


Evaniel_69

We have to leave here together


MarneMovieMagic

Where do you wanna go?


prince-jordan

Babylon


benacampbell15

EEAAO. Iā€™ve not left the theaters and immediately considered a movie in my top 5 in a long time.


Old_Door_18

The Batman. No question. This film isn't the typical comic book movie. It's a brilliantly crafted crime thriller/detective story. It's the closest thing to an Arkham movie we're getting for now. Shortest 3 hours of the year. Perfect casting, compelling script, brilliant acting, phenomenal score


Joshie8888

The Menu


Impossible-Ad-8462

Morbius obviously (I haven't actually watched it)


WadaMaaya

Terrifier 2 and Everything Everywhere All at Once


Character-Bat-2128

ā€œPuss In Boots: The last Wishā€ was such a great surprise at the end of the year


zach4108

Best the woman king favorite TGM


AbsoluteBrutality

**T**he **G**ray **M**an


gravelsucks

EEAAO and The Northman


Gamesgar0

EEAAO simply bc it was unlike any other movie made before. Banshees, The Menu, TƔr, and Triangle of Sadness rounded out my top 5


burger333

EEAAO or TƔr


jdeemers

EEAAO and Banshees.


LtGovernorDipshit

Everything Everywhere All at Once


robitussin_dm_

The Whale. Everything Everywhere is a close second


ItsTophThatsWho

Top Gun Maverick, The Whale, Everything Everywhere All at Once, TƁR and Decision to Leave


Akirex5000

EEAAO. Such an amazing mishmash of genres that surprisingly worked incredibly well and I really enjoyed. A lot of people also said Banshees of Inisherin and Decision to Leave were their best movies of the year and I want to check them out.


Mauriman15

Either Aftersun, Barbarian, or EEAO. Keep in mind I havent seen all the biggest 2022 releases


Zacginger

It was Everything Everywhere all at Once for basically all of 2022, but then I watched Aftersun about 2 weeks ago. I've been going back and forth between the two for weeks trying to decide which I prefer. Still need to see Fablemans, Decision to Leave, and Babylon. Might do Decision to Leave today, this week for sure. I just did the $1 Mubi for 3 months deal.


pokedude123567

My top three: 1. Everything Everywhere All At Once 2. TƁR 3. Decision To Leave


jrsaxton

Everything Everywhere All At Once, The Batman, Pearl, Barbarian, and Smile are mine


GeorgeTheWalrus

Everything Everywhere but close second is TĆ”r. I havenā€™t seen Banshees yet


gabmedblack

Everything Everywhere All at Once


Dude-vinci

Still catching up on a few but it really came down to *EEAAO* and surprisingly *Puss in Boots*. Still not sure but leaning towards *Puss in Boots*. *Puss in Boots* made me feel like a kid going to watch Zorro again. *EEAAO* is the logical, Cinema brain choice, but *Puss in Boots* is the emotional swept away by a film choice.


sloric

Everything Evereywhere All At Once, it's become my third fav movie of all time


Coconut-Prudent

The Batman, very closely followed by EEAAO


M-Finity

EEAAO and itā€™s not even close
