The year is coming to an end and for many people and media sites, it’s a time to look back and create lists of the best film and television releases throughout the year. This also seems to be true for former presidents. Former President, Barack Obama, has released his annual list of his favorite movies of the last year and it contains some noteworthy names.

“Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019,” Obama wrote on his Twitter account. “Of course, there’s also American Factory, a film from our own production company, Higher Ground, that was recently shortlisted for an Oscar.”

So which movies made Obama’s cut? Apart for American Factory, the list contains Amazing Grace, Apollo 11, Ash is Purest White, Atlantics, Birds of Passage, Booksmart, Diane, The Farewell, Ford v Ferrari, The Irishman, Just Mercy, The Last Black Man in San Francisco, Little Women, Marriage Story, Parasite, The Souvenir, and Transit.

Obama also liked especially The Watchmen, Unbelievable and the second season of Fleabag.
