Barack Obama has shared the list of his favourite movies from the year 2023. The former president of the United States also opened up on how the SAG-AFTRA strike in Hollywood will benefit the film industry.
Taking to X, Obama wrote, “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 — including some like Rustin, American Symphony, and Leave the World Behind that we were proud to release through HG Media. What films did I miss?” he added.
He also explained why he chose Higher Ground-produced films in the top three categories. He stated, “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.”
Barack Obama’s “other favourite movies of 2023” include The Holdovers, Blackberry, Oppenheimer, American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Monster, Past Lives, Air, Polite Society, and A Thousand and One.
