2022 Film Recommendations

Like last year, here are my top film recommendations out of the (feature) films I watched during 2022. In total I watched 78 (77 being ‘new’ i.e. one’s I have not previously watched, with one rewatch), down from 143 in 2021. I was quite disappointed I didn’t reach 104 this year (meaning two ‘new’ watches a week)- hopefully I can reach that this year though. I find watching feature films really important, because in my opinion watching them is essential if you make films. It’s where a lot of the learning takes place- especially if you take a little time out afterwards to understand and analyse what you’ve just watched. This year I really want to develop my feature film, so watching as many as possible will hopefully assist me in this task.

These are listed in no particular order. The title of the film is in bold, followed by the name of the director(s) and then the date which it was made (in brackets).

Please enjoy and let me know any recommendations of what to watch this year in the comments. Oh and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
