It’s that time of the year again. Former president Barack Obama jumped on Twitter to reveal his favorite movies/tv shows of 2020.
And while the movie list may not be as impressive this year, due to most films being delayed, he still managed to put together a good list.
In the TV category, he mentioned outstanding shows like Better Call Saul, The Good Lord Bird, The Good Place and The Queen’s Gambit. All highly recommended, by the way.
On the film side, he had to dig deeper. Some of the movies on his list haven’t even been released yet, but we’re assuming he got early access to them.
For instance, he named the Frances McDormand-starring film ‘Nomadland‘ which has been getting lots of Oscar buzz. Unfortunately, the film won’t be released until February for us normal folks.
He also named the upcoming Pixar film ‘Soul‘ which won’t hit Disney+ until Christmas day. It’s worth noting, critics are also loving this film, and it certainly has a shot to win Best Animated Film.
Additionally, he gave some love to his own production company by naming the documentary ‘Crimp Camp‘ as one of his favorites. It was produced by the Obamas’ company Higher Ground and is available to watch on Netflix.

Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format. pic.twitter.com/a8BS8jDkSs
