Barack Obama continues with annual tradition, James Cameron's 'Avatar 2' misses the list

Washington [US], December 24: Former US President Barack Obama has continued his end-of-year tradition by revealing his favourite movies of the year 2022, and surprisingly, James Cameron's latest 'Avatar: The Way of Water' is not on the list.

Because of his hectic schedule, Obama may have missed Cameron's visual effects marvel. Furthermore, because the film is best seen on larger screens and such show times have been sold out, it could pose a security risk for the former president.

Another high-quality blockbuster missing from the film list, according to Deadline, is 'Wakanda Forever,' despite the fact that the original 'Black Panther' made his 2018 list.

However, the one blockbuster that did make the cut this year was the Tom Cruise starrer 'Top Gun: Maverick'. Obama had even asked for comments about movies he missed. In a tweet shared on his official handle, he wrote, "I saw some great movies this year - here are some of my favorites. What did I miss?"

Steven Spielberg's "The Fabelmans," Chinonye Chukwu's "Till," and Todd Field's "Tar" are among the other prestigious movies in the top 17 list. 'Emancipation' by Antione Fuqua was also left off the list.
