Took me a minute to remember that Chris might not have the greatest relationship with his parents since the JW video, so hearing him say he got to enjoy Top Gun with his mom really was an awesome thing hear. Happy new year, Stuckmann!
@@RK-rf8rc him and his family were all JW, but Chris left the church/group because he wanted to be a film critic and he wouldn’t have been able to do that had he stayed a JW. His family and friends basically cut him off for leaving
@@Justice237 That's so nice to hear! It wouldn't surprise me if it's partly because he became a Dad. Maybe wanting to see the grandchildren was the push she needed. Sometimes kids have an amazing capability to bring people together.
I love Chris and his channel - I came for the special announcement because I’m really excited about anything he works on. Looking forward to the podcast. Happy new year everyone!
Chris Stuckmann's 2022 Best Movie list, chapterised with timestamps: Honourable mentions: Hustle The Black Phone You Can Live Forever Pearl Triangle Of Sadness Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio The Quiet Girl Women Talking Living The Fabelmans The Whale Tár Puss In Boots: The Last Wish 2:55 - #10: RRR 3:26 - #9: Till 4:12 - #8: The Outfit 5:40 - #7: The Menu 6:20 - #6: The Banshees of Inisherin 7:07 - #5: Thirteen Lives 8:33 - #4: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery 9:20 - #3: Everything Everywhere All at Once 10:31 - #2: The Batman 11:58 - #1: Top Gun: Maverick
Seeing The Outfit on this list made me so happy man. It's truly a phenomenal film and Mark Rylance is truly amazing as well as Zoey Deustch and Dylan O'Brien and that ending really catches you off guard....like TRULY unexpected.
I saw it on peacock, not thinking twice about it. It was amazing! Dylan O’Brien is a great actor, and I love seeing him go beyond Maze Runner. Especially after his very unfortunate accident on the third film.
Ine thing I enjoy about you Chris is that you not only do this for your passion of movies and anime, but also who help people who enjoy it to even people who watching it casually. That's awesome of you
The opening of top gun maverick when you hear the iconic theme on the aircraft carrier and then it switched to Highway to the danger zone and the planes taking off I knew it instantly this would be my favorite movie of the year
I'm not even a fan of the first film, but I went with my friend to see it, and when the intro carrier scene was over, I said ''yup I got my money's worth''
Everything Everywhere All at Once was such a surprise! I thought Maverick was going to be number 1 on my list, but then I decided to watch Everything and it completely blew me away - the humor, dialog, soundtrack, action and heart.
@@rrando726 original masterpiece ? There's like a million movies & Tv shows about the Multiverse LMAO Plus TOP GUN is done for real, not some CGI Green nonsense like in STAR wars
I don't check in as often as I used to. But I'm glad to see you thriving, Chris. I'm still so proud of you for talking about your JW experience. I'm glad to see you could see a movie with your mom this year. I'm looking forward to seeing your film, and all your future films. Love and light to you.
Hey Chris, I picked up The Outfit because of you, and I gotta say it did not disappoint. A super small cast in a single set piece made it feel like I was watching a play. Its small and simple and the actors really get to act, Mark Rylance was spooky in Bones & All and in this he is very calm and almost mouse like at times... such great range. I also recommend the Outfit to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
such a good list!! my top 10 of the year are 1.) Aftersun 2.) Everything Everywhere All at Once 3.) The Fabelmans 4.) Decision to Leave 5.) Bones and All 6.) Nope 7.) Babylon 8.) White Noise 9.) The Banshees of Inisherin 10.) Tár
Can we appreciate Colin Farrell who just had the most spectacular year? So many amazing films he has been in just this year and the variety of performances.
Ive been watching your channel since i was in high school. I am happy for you and your family and i wish the best for you on your future endeavors Chris!
As a busy dad like you, I see it in you. You've grown. You've changed. Your words have many unspoken thoughts behind them, and you've matured. You are a good person, and its obvious to many people that watch your channel. Wish you all the best in the new year.
I can’t emphasize enough how much I trust and respect Chris’ movie reviews. I was worried he was bailing on UA-cam after become a filmmaker, but I love his reviews. The way he explains his opinion without any malice. Just how he feels, and with legitimate reasons to back it up. One of the few movie reviewers I trust. Hope he keeps posting here, even after he becomes a director, a podcaster & much much more
Found your channel back in 2015 when I was 13 and you basically led me into pursuing film and watching movies in a more knowledgeable way. Now I'm about to be 21 and want to be a movie director. So I can't wait for this podcast, I feel like I'm gonna learn a lot of useful info for my career. Definitely will be tuning in for every episode, it sounds like a great idea.
Love the concept of the project upcoming this year. I studied film production couple years ago, one of the most valuable things I've experienced is the filmmaking journey and also the pure spark to trigger this adventure. So excited about this project ❤️
Great video Chris thanks for an amazing year. I’m working on my thesis film right now and you are a huge inspiration to me. When it’s done I hope to send it to you in some way. Cant wait for a great year
I look forward to your lists every year Chris. Literally look forward to your review of every movie I see, keep going man. Thank you for the endless entertainment and laughs
The banshee of inisherin took me by surprise in the last 1hr 10 minutes. Loved how grim and dark it went. Quite greusome as well! Made me think I'd never want to live on an island like that.
I think it's safe to say that Colin Farrell had a really fantastic year out of any other actor. The Batman, Thirteen Lives, and The Banshees of Inisherin proved that he's one of the best actors working today! Can't wait to see what he does next!
So glad to see you also loved The Outfit, Chris. That was one I took my grandfather to and it blew him away. So it's a bit special for me. Overall my list is extremely similar to yours, but I'd also find a way to include Nope and Inu-Oh. Can't wait to see your film next year when it is finished. Your breakout into making an actual film is an inspiration 🙌
Me and my best friend actually really wanted to go see the outfit, the first time we saw the trailer for it was when we they were showing the godfather in the theater for a limited time for it's 50th anniversary (which is also the first time my friend had seen the godfather). But after seeing the trailer we both really wanted to see it however neither of us could ever remember the name of the movie, I now know the name because of this video so thank you Chris for informing me what the name was and now I will go watch it
So glad to see "The Outfit," on this list; an absolutely underrated film that not enough people saw! And I don't think you're exaggerating that Top Gun: Maverick saved movie theaters. That film managed to bring in so many people from so many different walks of life and have them all come together and enjoy just an exhilarating, excellent film. I loved it way more than I ever thought I ever would. I had never even heard of "Thirteen Lives" before this list, but now I have to check it out! Thanks!
Love to see my boy Chris evolving from the bedroom movie reviews to where he is today. Keep on doing what you do Chris, you truly are an inspiration to me. One of this days will be my turn to make a movie eheh. Happy new year!
Great list, Chris! Here’s my Top 10 Favorite Movies of 2022: 1. Top Gun: Maverick 2. The Batman 3. Everything Everywhere All At Once 4. The Fabelmans 5. Avatar: The Way of Water 6. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery 7. Babylon 8. The Northman 9. RRR 10. Black Panther: Wakanda Forever I'm really looking forward to your podcast, it sounds great and exciting!
Have loved your videos and reviews for years now, Chris. Great list, as always. I have a love-hate relationship with films currently. I used to watch at least 1 new film and usually a couple of rewatches most weeks. Due to becoming a dad and eventually having 3 wonderful children, all with varying levels of additional needs, i have been able to watch fewer and fewer films. Not a big deal, I know, but the fewer films I watched, the harder I found it to watch them. Especially new films. I so rarely have the chance to watch a film that I almost always put on something familiar and comfortable when I do get the chance. Anyway. I've only seen a few new films this year just gone. Of which the number 1 by a big distance was "Aftersun". It has brought me back to life in many ways, it feels like.
Great list Chris. This year was a good year for some great movies and to narrow it down to top 10 is difficult. Just rewatched RRR, The Batman, and Top Gun Maverick. The excitement, the energy, and the emotions were all there in these 3 films. Also, really enjoyed Puss in Boots The Last Wish, Bullet Train, Everything Everywhere, The Northman, The Menu, and Prey.
Thank you Chris, your reviews are superb, been following your channel since I saw The water diviner, I was searching for a review on UA-cam and I found your channel and stayed ever since. Greetings from Juárez, Mexico.
It really was a great year in cinema. I love movies, and you're my favorite voice on movies Chris. It doesn't matter that you don't feel like your a critic anymore. You point things out that I always miss. Can't wait to see Shelby Oaks.
Solid list. I need to check out the ones you mentioned that I skipped. I saw 30 new movies in 2022, and I agree that this was indeed a much better year for movies than the last couple overall (in spite of my crushing disappointment over most of the cape flicks this year with the obvious exception of the one on my list). Here's my current top 10 favorite movies and the honorable mentions at the moment (favorites that I most enjoyed, bot necessarily the "best"). It might change next time i think about it for all I know because some of these are almost interchangable for me. I've shuffled around 2-7 a ton, and they have all been in my top 3 at some point. 1. Top Gun: Maverick 2. Barbarian 3. The Batman 4. The Outfit 5. The Northman 6. RRR 7. Everything Everywhere All At Once 8. The Menu 9. Bullet Train 10. The Stranger Honorable Mentions: 11. Banshees of Inisherin 12. Nope 13. The Black Phone 14. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent 15. Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio Is it too late to contribute to and see your film? I can't afford much, but I'd love to say I could help you fulfill your dream after having followed the channel for so long. Looking forward to the podcast as well!
you inspired me to start up my film review channel. I want to thank you so much for every thing that you have done. You helped me getting into film and inspirational me to be a filmmaker. So I just what to thank you so much.
People often praise Everything Everywhere All At Once for its creativity and originality, and while I most certainly agree, what struck me most about the film was how deeply profound it was. Seeing that movie in theaters literally changed my life.
Nice list, happy new year! I really hope you post something about The Northman, my favorite movie this year. Hard to imagine you would miss it, or not liking it for that matter…
I didn't see as many films in theaters this year, but I am so glad I was able to see 'Top Gun: Maverick' there. You hear the term "movie theater movie" -- movies that were made for the big screen -- and that is the perfect example. It has a different feel on the big screen and it's amazing. The sound design of that movie is top notch. It *feels* like you're in a plane and that the engine is so strong that the sound of it actually pulses through your body. It was such an incredible movie. And I know that some would have preferred an artsy/indie type movie at the top spot since they don't have the love/budget of others, but for me 'Maverick' earned it because the expectations just weren't as high -- at least in my opinion. We all heard of it and wanted to see it, but did anyone actually expect it to be THAT good? I was blown out of the water by it and absolutely love the movie. It earned #1 status without question.
All Quiet on The Western Front is definitely my number 1 for the year. The story, the acting, the set pieces, the score, the cinematography, etc. Everything about it was phenomenal and some of the best stuff I have seen in a while. I'm surprised this slipped under Chris's radar, I'm sure it would have easily made this list.
Yes, I'm also a little bit surprised he missed that one. This is my pick for movie of the year as well. It's a beautiful movie, despite its unflinching brutality. If it gets the nomination for Best International Film, that should increase its visibility to American audiences. Felix Kammerer gave an excellent performance as Paul. His facial expressions, particularly in the last 10 minutes of the film, were haunting. If the performance had been in English, he would've likely gotten Academy attention for a performance like that. It's a great movie.
100% agree with you on Top Gun Maverick. I saw the original at the cinema in 1986 as an 18 year old. Watched this in an Imax cinema and have watched it another 4 times since with various friends and family. I was floored, jaw dropping, goosebumps, lump in throat and I even shed a tear ot two. As good as it gets! 🔥🔥🔥
A movie that is MADE for me is "Decision to leave" It just sweeps into me and how can I forget to mention Tang Wei . She is the best I have seen this year
Thank you Chris for yet another year of reviews and production insights! I'm not sure if you're aware of the massive impact you have on people like me who try break into the film industry. I will always observe the amazing film journey you're on and i'm really looking forward to the podcast and Shelby Oaks. Much love and gratitude from Germany. Keep it up! :)
Hey bax town, you know what i want chris to do. Is to watch the chosen and review both season 1 and season 2. Man! Im really curious what he thinks of this masterpiece of a show. its definitely one of the best tv series iv seen in my life. Im curious what jeremy jahns thinks of the chosen too and angryjoe?🤔
Great end of year list as always Chris, The Batman and The Northman took my top spots. Thank you for all the great videos this year... Cant wait to watch Shelby Oaks! I hope you and your family had a great Holidays!
My cathartic "made for me" movie was Top Gun 2. A movie that influenced my decision to become a Navy aviator and to have the sequel released in my retirement year truly felt like it was "made for me". Thanks Chris, on to 2023!!!
I had the exact same top four, and I think Glass Onion, Everything Everywhere, Top Gun, and The Batman were all experiences that stood above the rest in 2022. Been watching you now since 2012, and can’t wait to watch your content for years to come!
I highly recommend Apollo 10 1/2. It’s Richard Linklater’s movie from this year and it didn’t get enough love. It is definitely one of my favorites of the year. Edit: it was a Netflix release, if you’re wondering where you can find it.
@@thomsevilla4956 it was straight to Netflix. It made it to some festivals, but it didn’t even get a limited theatrical release (like Glass Onion or Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio) and the only major festival it hit was SXSW (and that’s only because it took place in Linklater’s home state of Texas). I really wish more people saw it because it was genuinely great. Linklater is one of my favorite working directors and even with that, this was one of my favorites of his.
Chris, I saw in another channel that your movie Shelby Oaks is coming soon. I am looking forward to seeing it and I wish you the greatest success. I haven't seen many of these films. I live in another country. But I did enjoy The Northman.
I'm glad that Chris has The Batman that high. Honestly it's my favorite of the year and I love it more and more every time I watch it. It was truly an experience I can't ever imagine I'd be able to create as it's so grounded yet creative.
Chris, you always being the best UA-camr like no other. You always being the best entertainer even informative person since Saberspark. To me, the 2 best Paramount movies of last year are TOP GUN; MAVERICK and SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2. Both films are the best last year to have a nice theater experience. I hope more great films will come this year in 2023. Happy New Year, my good theater critic, to you and your family. Have a great one. YOU ROCK, CHRIS!
I’m glad you brought up inspirations on film makers. I almost felt that when I was nine years old. I saw Raiders for the first time. I was in awe; blown away. Then a couple of years later. Blade Runner. Glad you brought up both films in your video. 😊
The Northman and Everything Everywhere all at Once both gave me faith that Hollywood can still make great movies. After watching them I consider both of them on my "favorite of all time" list. Everything Everywhere all at Once has, in it, everything I want from a movie. I cried, I laughed like a mad man, I felt warm, I felt happy, it had awesome action scenes. It really does encapsulate everything I could ask for. The Northman gives me everything I want in a story. The visuals, the characters, the storytelling... Much like the Lighthouse which I have also put on my "favorites of all time" list, The Northman is capable of transporting you to a completely different time and different world. Absolutely engrossing from beginning to end.
The Northman had so many impactful scenes. The last scene although I don’t believe in Valhalla was just insane. It really showed a lot of respect to the Viking people and displayed how fearless of a community they were. Eggers is the real deal. It’s definitely not a movie for everyone tho.
@@Bennythecoredriver Marvel movies are for everyone. I want to have more movies that don't cater to the general audience but that are willing to take risks and possibly turn some people off. The Northman is just that. I admire Eggers for having the balls to make movies like this.
strip out the unnecessary comedy in Everything Everywhere all at Once, add more depth to the film's dilemma like being lost in the chaotic multiverse and the movie would have been a 10 for me. it had too much influence from the MCU, tonal issues and the writers clearly couldnt elaborate the plot beyond a google searched definition of the word "multiverse". Cloud Atlas should have been the inspiration to this film.
As I was walking in the AMC theater to see Avatar in IMAX 3D, I just had the thought that there is almost no better experience than going to the movies. It is always a magical experience!
I agree. With all the streaming services available alot of people don't bother. I love going to the movies. There's nothing like it. I regret not seeing Avator at the cinemas. Definitely going to watch the 2nd one on big screen.
Appreciate the love Chris gives for the dearly departed Chagrin Cinemas. I absolutely loved seeing movies there when I was young, and it’s one of the places where my love for storytelling began. I’m sure a lot of folks back home in Northeast Ohio would agree.
Chris, thank you soo so much for doing the "The best movies" series year after year.. i have lost touch with movies coz Life happens and i appreciate you shedding some light on the list of best movies not to miss watching. Thank you so much.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was not only my favorite movie of the year, but one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s such an absolute 10/10 for me that I had to go back and reconsider how I personally rank movies for myself from here on out.
@Hector Duran The Northman was decent and could have got a mention definitely but no way was Nope mid. But using the word mid just discredits your opinion anyway lol
Everything Everywhere changed my life. It represents a pivotal moment for me. I saw it almost a month after my mom passed away and it helped me process my grief. I saw so many reactions to EEAAO on UA-cam where people were like “I need to call my mom and say ‘I love you’” when the film ended and I sat there thinking that I won’t be able to do that for the rest of my life. In a world filled with noise, I knew that the memories and the precious moments I had with her represent what matters most. Our lives are the memories we make along the way and I had to say goodbye to my mom but I will cherish the few special moments in my life with her and see her in my dreams. Moreover, Everything Everywhere helped me - as a gay man - understand how unconditional her love was for me despite what may have initially been disappointments she had about the direction my life has taken. What a tremendous experience that film was.
Took me a minute to remember that Chris might not have the greatest relationship with his parents since the JW video, so hearing him say he got to enjoy Top Gun with his mom really was an awesome thing hear. Happy new year, Stuckmann!
My thoughts exactly! I was so relieved to hear he at least still sees his mom in some capacity.
@@jongon0848 what happened?
@@RK-rf8rc him and his family were all JW, but Chris left the church/group because he wanted to be a film critic and he wouldn’t have been able to do that had he stayed a JW. His family and friends basically cut him off for leaving
@@whyisitspicy289 that’s awful. Delusional people.

I didn't think it was anything special. The Hateful Eight portrays a similar setting in a much better way.

The opening of top gun maverick when you hear the iconic theme on the aircraft carrier and then it switched to Highway to the danger zone and the planes taking off I knew it instantly this would be my favorite movie of the year
Agreed. Nostalgia galore! Cruise in top for as always
I'm not even a fan of the first film, but I went with my friend to see it, and when the intro carrier scene was over, I said ''yup I got my money's worth''
It's like the exact same intro as the first lol

You knew it'd be your favourite during a copypasted opening? That was when I got mildly worried
Everything Everywhere All at Once was such a surprise! I thought Maverick was going to be number 1 on my list, but then I decided to watch Everything and it completely blew me away - the humor, dialog, soundtrack, action and heart.
EEAAO and RRR were the big hits for me this year. They and Maverick definitely raised the action movie bar
TOP GUN is clear lol
Top Gun is vapid rerun of Star Wars death star battle and nothing more. EEAAO is an ORIGINAL *masterpiece.*

Tom Cruise was not allowed to fly the f-18s, he did however fly his own p-51 at the end of the movie.
Tom is jet qualified though, he could have flown that F-18 which is almost as cool. However, you are correct that the air force didn't allow him.
@@mattblom3990 nor did the Navy, who actually operates the F/A-18 Hornet.
Not because he can't fly jets,
In fact he owns a personal Honda Jet lol
@@scottbarkley496 Right! Tom cruise is so cool nobody even cares he's in a cult 😆
@@mattblom3990 he may be qualified, but to fly the jets used in the film, he’d have to be US Navy personnel, otherwise it would be illegal
I've been watching your vids since 2012 Chris, 10 whole years. 🥂Here's to another 10 years, and a Happy New Year.
Hey Chris, I picked up The Outfit because of you, and I gotta say it did not disappoint. A super small cast in a single set piece made it feel like I was watching a play. Its small and simple and the actors really get to act, Mark Rylance was spooky in Bones & All and in this he is very calm and almost mouse like at times... such great range. I also recommend the Outfit to anyone who hasn't seen it yet.
Happy new years, Chris! Been watching you for many years now and i always look forward to your thoughts on all these films. To a good 2023!
such a good list!!
my top 10 of the year are
1.) Aftersun
2.) Everything Everywhere All at Once
3.) The Fabelmans
4.) Decision to Leave
5.) Bones and All
6.) Nope
7.) Babylon
8.) White Noise
9.) The Banshees of Inisherin

Do not stop making these year-end lists, Chris. They are my only source for movies I missed out in the past year.
Great video Chris thanks for an amazing year. I’m working on my thesis film right now and you are a huge inspiration to me. When it’s done I hope to send it to you in some way. Cant wait for a great year
I look forward to your lists every year Chris. Literally look forward to your review of every movie I see, keep going man. Thank you for the endless entertainment and laughs
The banshee of inisherin took me by surprise in the last 1hr 10 minutes. Loved how grim and dark it went. Quite greusome as well! Made me think I'd never want to live on an island like that.
Interesting. It’s one of my favorite movies now & it makes me want to retire on an island lol.
I watched The Batman 6/7 times in the cinemas. It had everything I wanted from a live-action Batman film. Absolutely euphoric.
I think it's safe to say that Colin Farrell had a really fantastic year out of any other actor. The Batman, Thirteen Lives, and The Banshees of Inisherin proved that he's one of the best actors working today! Can't wait to see what he does next!
And After Yang!

HOW HAS THIS MAN NOT SEEN BABYLON? nobody is reviewing it and it's so sad because it's definitely one of the best movies of the year
Me and my best friend actually really wanted to go see the outfit, the first time we saw the trailer for it was when we they were showing the godfather in the theater for a limited time for it's 50th anniversary (which is also the first time my friend had seen the godfather). But after seeing the trailer we both really wanted to see it however neither of us could ever remember the name of the movie, I now know the name because of this video so thank you Chris for informing me what the name was and now I will go watch it
Dude, that's awesome that your friend got to see the movie on the big screen for the first viewing!
@@Overseer2579 right?
"Everything, everywhere, all at once" would get my vote for best movie of 2022!!
It gets my vote too!
That or Pearl for me.
Black Adam or Jeepers Creepers 4 for me
Same
Hell no
Even after all those years I still enjoy watching your video's/reviews. So looking forward for your movie. Good luck with the process.
I look forward to this every year. Some on your list I never seen but plan too. Thanks again for a job well done. 🥳 Congratulations!!
So glad to see "The Outfit," on this list; an absolutely underrated film that not enough people saw!
And I don't think you're exaggerating that Top Gun: Maverick saved movie theaters. That film managed to bring in so many people from so many different walks of life and have them all come together and enjoy just an exhilarating, excellent film. I loved it way more than I ever thought I ever would.
I had never even heard of "Thirteen Lives" before this list, but now I have to check it out! Thanks!
The Batman had the brooding and angst of the 90s.
It almost felt like David Fincher directed the film.
@@somerandolad or its the crow.
@@somerandolad Yeah it’s basically a Seven remake.
it was also better then anything marvel has ever made
The fact that the Batmobile’s revving got everyone hyped in the theatre means it’s the Batman movie done right.
Great list! I've seen a few, but will definitely be checking out the rest. Also, looking forward to your future projects, Chris!
Love to see my boy Chris evolving from the bedroom movie reviews to where he is today. Keep on doing what you do Chris, you truly are an inspiration to me. One of this days will be my turn to make a movie eheh. Happy new year!

Chris is still in contact with his mom, good for him
He said on Twitter that his mom got out as well. Which is wonderful.
Have loved your videos and reviews for years now, Chris. Great list, as always.
I have a love-hate relationship with films currently. I used to watch at least 1 new film and usually a couple of rewatches most weeks. Due to becoming a dad and eventually having 3 wonderful children, all with varying levels of additional needs, i have been able to watch fewer and fewer films. Not a big deal, I know, but the fewer films I watched, the harder I found it to watch them. Especially new films. I so rarely have the chance to watch a film that I almost always put on something familiar and comfortable when I do get the chance.
Anyway. I've only seen a few new films this year just gone. Of which the number 1 by a big distance was "Aftersun". It has brought me back to life in many ways, it feels like.
Proud of you Chris! Cheers to your new year, your family and I cannot wait to watch your movie!
so happy u gave a quick mention to the quiet girl, such a beautiful film and so nice to see irish language picture getting world wide recognition
My cousin was an extra in it lol
With The Quiet Girl and The Banshees of Inisherin, us Irish folk did well at the cinema this year!
I think it should definitely get an Oscar nomination, if it was me I would have given oscar
It is very nice! (Irish living in America! I miss County Clair and Donegal!)
@@MachinaGirlRobots Clair isn’t a county…
Over 2M well earned followers. Congratulations, Chris! Been a fun ride all these years watching your content. Cheers to a great 2023 for you!
Great list Chris. This year was a good year for some great movies and to narrow it down to top 10 is difficult. Just rewatched RRR, The Batman, and Top Gun Maverick. The excitement, the energy, and the emotions were all there in these 3 films. Also, really enjoyed Puss in Boots The Last Wish, Bullet Train, Everything Everywhere, The Northman, The Menu, and Prey.
Thank you Chris, your reviews are superb, been following your channel since I saw The water diviner, I was searching for a review on UA-cam and I found your channel and stayed ever since. Greetings from Juárez, Mexico.
I can't wait to see the final product, Chris! It was an honor to be part of your directorial debut.
It really was a great year in cinema. I love movies, and you're my favorite voice on movies Chris. It doesn't matter that you don't feel like your a critic anymore. You point things out that I always miss. Can't wait to see Shelby Oaks.
Just want to wish you the very best 2023 and say a huge congratulations on an amazing 2022 and for all your success on this channel 😀
Chris, you are one amazing human. On the edge of my seat for the movie and excited for the podcast. Best of luck to you in 2023.
Solid list. I need to check out the ones you mentioned that I skipped. I saw 30 new movies in 2022, and I agree that this was indeed a much better year for movies than the last couple overall (in spite of my crushing disappointment over most of the cape flicks this year with the obvious exception of the one on my list). Here's my current top 10 favorite movies and the honorable mentions at the moment (favorites that I most enjoyed, bot necessarily the "best"). It might change next time i think about it for all I know because some of these are almost interchangable for me. I've shuffled around 2-7 a ton, and they have all been in my top 3 at some point.
1. Top Gun: Maverick
2. Barbarian
3. The Batman
4. The Outfit
5. The Northman
6. RRR
7. Everything Everywhere All At Once
8. The Menu
9. Bullet Train
10. The Stranger
Honorable Mentions:
11. Banshees of Inisherin
12. Nope
13. The Black Phone
14. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
15. Guillermo Del Toro's Pinocchio
Is it too late to contribute to and see your film? I can't afford much, but I'd love to say I could help you fulfill your dream after having followed the channel for so long. Looking forward to the podcast as well!
Bullet Train was so awful I almost puked.
@@skinovtheperineum1208 you just didn’t understand it
@@shaumikp1 - Yeah, that has to be it. I didn't understand how anyone could invest that kind of money is such a piece of crap.
@@skinovtheperineum1208 You should become more tolerant of things.
@@skinovtheperineum1208 shut up man
Glad to see RRR on Stuckmann's year end list!❤️
you inspired me to start up my film review channel. I want to thank you so much for every thing that you have done. You helped me getting into film and inspirational me to be a filmmaker. So I just what to thank you so much.
This is my favorite channel for sure! Thank you Chris and a happy new year!
People often praise Everything Everywhere All At Once for its creativity and originality, and while I most certainly agree, what struck me most about the film was how deeply profound it was. Seeing that movie in theaters literally changed my life.
It was average at best.
@@BishopWalters12 thanks for sharing your opinion!

Okay. Your podcast is going to be amazing. What a brilliant idea
Great list! I haven't seen most of them, so it's time to check some of them out. 🙂 Happy New Year, and congrats on the podcast! Looking forward to it.
Nice list, happy new year!
I really hope you post something about The Northman, my favorite movie this year.
Hard to imagine you would miss it, or not liking it for that matter…
The podcast idea sounds amazing,. Can't wait!
One of my favorites of this year was Aftersun. An achingly beautiful debut from director Charlotte Wells, with some stunning performances.
Great list. Be interested to hear what you think the best tv series were of 2022

"I suppose I put on these clothes to convince myself I'm civilised." The Outfit rules, fantastic film.
I didn't see as many films in theaters this year, but I am so glad I was able to see 'Top Gun: Maverick' there. You hear the term "movie theater movie" -- movies that were made for the big screen -- and that is the perfect example. It has a different feel on the big screen and it's amazing. The sound design of that movie is top notch. It *feels* like you're in a plane and that the engine is so strong that the sound of it actually pulses through your body. It was such an incredible movie. And I know that some would have preferred an artsy/indie type movie at the top spot since they don't have the love/budget of others, but for me 'Maverick' earned it because the expectations just weren't as high -- at least in my opinion. We all heard of it and wanted to see it, but did anyone actually expect it to be THAT good? I was blown out of the water by it and absolutely love the movie. It earned #1 status without question.
All Quiet on The Western Front is definitely my number 1 for the year. The story, the acting, the set pieces, the score, the cinematography, etc. Everything about it was phenomenal and some of the best stuff I have seen in a while. I'm surprised this slipped under Chris's radar, I'm sure it would have easily made this list.
Yes, I'm also a little bit surprised he missed that one. This is my pick for movie of the year as well. It's a beautiful movie, despite its unflinching brutality. If it gets the nomination for Best International Film, that should increase its visibility to American audiences. Felix Kammerer gave an excellent performance as Paul. His facial expressions, particularly in the last 10 minutes of the film, were haunting. If the performance had been in English, he would've likely gotten Academy attention for a performance like that. It's a great movie.
100% agree with you on Top Gun Maverick. I saw the original at the cinema in 1986 as an 18 year old. Watched this in an Imax cinema and have watched it another 4 times since with various friends and family. I was floored, jaw dropping, goosebumps, lump in throat and I even shed a tear ot two. As good as it gets! 🔥🔥🔥
Look forward to this summary every year! Thanks Chris!!!!!
A movie that is MADE for me is "Decision to leave" It just sweeps into me and how can I forget to mention Tang Wei . She is the best I have seen this year
That’s how I feel about Whiplash.
Thank you Chris for yet another year of reviews and production insights! I'm not sure if you're aware of the massive impact you have on people like me who try break into the film industry. I will always observe the amazing film journey you're on and i'm really looking forward to the podcast and Shelby Oaks. Much love and gratitude from Germany. Keep it up! :)
Hey bax town, you know what i want chris to do. Is to watch the chosen and review both season 1 and season 2. Man! Im really curious what he thinks of this masterpiece of a show. its definitely one of the best tv series iv seen in my life. Im curious what jeremy jahns thinks of the chosen too and angryjoe?🤔
Love it Chris, excited for what you'll bring us in 2023. Also, Barbarian rocked my WORLD this year
Hey, thanks Chris! Love your channel, and looking forward to your podcast! Happy New Year to you! 💖
Really excited to see what you made of Aftersun when it eventually releases state-side.
Nothing came close to it this year
That film is just a work of art, and the guy playing the dad deserves an Oscar for it
I saw it at a film festival. Initially wasn’t going to go but I’m so glad I did. That last scene.. crying…
It swooped in last minute and became my favorite film of the year. One of a kind emotional piece of art
@@barry4649 Check out Paul Mescal's other work. I thought Normal People was extraordinary.
easily best film of the year, best of the decade im already predicting
Great end of year list as always Chris, The Batman and The Northman took my top spots. Thank you for all the great videos this year... Cant wait to watch Shelby Oaks! I hope you and your family had a great Holidays!
My cathartic "made for me" movie was Top Gun 2. A movie that influenced my decision to become a Navy aviator and to have the sequel released in my retirement year truly felt like it was "made for me". Thanks Chris, on to 2023!!!
I had the exact same top four, and I think Glass Onion, Everything Everywhere, Top Gun, and The Batman were all experiences that stood above the rest in 2022.
Been watching you now since 2012, and can’t wait to watch your content for years to come!
Imo The Batman>>>> the dark knight trilogy
@@lickenhuntsman5338 agree, the trilogy was cool but mann ... The Batman was my favorite and just felt right
I highly recommend Apollo 10 1/2. It’s Richard Linklater’s movie from this year and it didn’t get enough love. It is definitely one of my favorites of the year.
Edit: it was a Netflix release, if you’re wondering where you can find it.
I didn't even know that Linklater made a film this year....crazy
No marketing or nothing
@@thomsevilla4956 it was straight to Netflix. It made it to some festivals, but it didn’t even get a limited theatrical release (like Glass Onion or Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio) and the only major festival it hit was SXSW (and that’s only because it took place in Linklater’s home state of Texas). I really wish more people saw it because it was genuinely great. Linklater is one of my favorite working directors and even with that, this was one of my favorites of his.
@@thomsevilla4956 Same shitty Netflix marketing, meaning no marketing. The movie is a delight especially for older generations.
Agree. Apollo was a great movie and one of the best I’ve see this year.
Aftersun was one of my favourites, should’ve got a mention
Chris I'm so genuinely happy that I'm still watching your best of the year list I hope this will happen every year forever
Chris, I saw in another channel that your movie Shelby Oaks is coming soon. I am looking forward to seeing it and I wish you the greatest success.
I haven't seen many of these films. I live in another country. But I did enjoy The Northman.
The Bashees of Inisherin was one of my favorites this year. It's on Disney+ and directed by the guy who mase In Bruges. Highly recommend.
Happy New year, Chris! Wishing you, Sam, and the kids the best! ❤️
Thank you for the list Chris...was comparing mine to yours..since I look upto you guys..👍🙏
I'm glad that Chris has The Batman that high. Honestly it's my favorite of the year and I love it more and more every time I watch it. It was truly an experience I can't ever imagine I'd be able to create as it's so grounded yet creative.
Chris, you always being the best UA-camr like no other.
You always being the best entertainer even informative person since Saberspark.
To me, the 2 best Paramount movies of last year are TOP GUN; MAVERICK and
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2. Both films are the best last year to have a nice theater
experience. I hope more great films will come this year in 2023. Happy New Year, my good theater critic, to you and your family. Have a great one. YOU ROCK, CHRIS!
been a fan for over a decade! looking forward to your podcast Chris! cheers!
Thanks for your comment….for support and Mentorship leave a msg👆💯▫️▫️☝️......... I have something special for you 🎁🥳
I’m glad you brought up inspirations on film makers. I almost felt that when I was nine years old. I saw Raiders for the first time. I was in awe; blown away. Then a couple of years later. Blade Runner. Glad you brought up both films in your video. 😊
The Northman and Everything Everywhere all at Once both gave me faith that Hollywood can still make great movies. After watching them I consider both of them on my "favorite of all time" list.
Everything Everywhere all at Once has, in it, everything I want from a movie. I cried, I laughed like a mad man, I felt warm, I felt happy, it had awesome action scenes. It really does encapsulate everything I could ask for.
The Northman gives me everything I want in a story. The visuals, the characters, the storytelling... Much like the Lighthouse which I have also put on my "favorites of all time" list, The Northman is capable of transporting you to a completely different time and different world. Absolutely engrossing from beginning to end.
The Northman had so many impactful scenes. The last scene although I don’t believe in Valhalla was just insane. It really showed a lot of respect to the Viking people and displayed how fearless of a community they were. Eggers is the real deal. It’s definitely not a movie for everyone tho.
My two favorite movies of 2022 as well!
@@Bennythecoredriver Marvel movies are for everyone. I want to have more movies that don't cater to the general audience but that are willing to take risks and possibly turn some people off. The Northman is just that. I admire Eggers for having the balls to make movies like this.
strip out the unnecessary comedy in Everything Everywhere all at Once, add more depth to the film's dilemma like being lost in the chaotic multiverse and the movie would have been a 10 for me. it had too much influence from the MCU, tonal issues and the writers clearly couldnt elaborate the plot beyond a google searched definition of the word "multiverse". Cloud Atlas should have been the inspiration to this film.
@@Caladras RRR did that beautifully. A breath of cinematic fresh air.
As I was walking in the AMC theater to see Avatar in IMAX 3D, I just had the thought that there is almost no better experience than going to the movies. It is always a magical experience!
I agree. With all the streaming services available alot of people don't bother.
I love going to the movies. There's nothing like it. I regret not seeing Avator at the cinemas. Definitely going to watch the 2nd one on big screen.
Appreciate the love Chris gives for the dearly departed Chagrin Cinemas. I absolutely loved seeing movies there when I was young, and it’s one of the places where my love for storytelling began. I’m sure a lot of folks back home in Northeast Ohio would agree.
Chris, thank you soo so much for doing the "The best movies" series year after year.. i have lost touch with movies coz Life happens and i appreciate you shedding some light on the list of best movies not to miss watching. Thank you so much.
Everything, Everywhere, All at Once was not only my favorite movie of the year, but one of my favorite movies of all time. It’s such an absolute 10/10 for me that I had to go back and reconsider how I personally rank movies for myself from here on out.
No Decision to Leave or Nope is heartbreaking! Probably my top 2 this year
Agreed! I was fully expecting at least Nope to pop up
Heart breaking? Lol. Nope was great. Heartbreaking? 0%
nope was mid the northman not being mentioned is criminal
@Hector Duran The Northman was decent and could have got a mention definitely but no way was Nope mid. But using the word mid just discredits your opinion anyway lol
nope was such a let down, so boring and bland
Great list ! I will be checking out several of these again!
Happy new year!
Thank you, Chris. For being fan of movies so we can also be fans of movies. Happy New Year!
Congratulations on the podcast, Chris!
Just want to thank you for letting me know about The Outfit, never heard of it until i sw this video!
So happy to see the Menu on here!! Definitely one of my favorite movies of the year
We love you Chris, great job, you've reached a new level of being yourself and It's inspiring. Looking forward to the podcast!
Everything Everywhere changed my life. It represents a pivotal moment for me. I saw it almost a month after my mom passed away and it helped me process my grief. I saw so many reactions to EEAAO on UA-cam where people were like “I need to call my mom and say ‘I love you’” when the film ended and I sat there thinking that I won’t be able to do that for the rest of my life. In a world filled with noise, I knew that the memories and the precious moments I had with her represent what matters most. Our lives are the memories we make along the way and I had to say goodbye to my mom but I will cherish the few special moments in my life with her and see her in my dreams. Moreover, Everything Everywhere helped me - as a gay man - understand how unconditional her love was for me despite what may have initially been disappointments she had about the direction my life has taken. What a tremendous experience that film was.
