BEST MOVIES OF 2022 (lists)

Oct. 21, 2022.
So far we might focus more on interesting movies still to come. Metacritic has a list of these. Some are already in early limited release such as TÁR (which I reviewed this week) and TILL. Some others are AFTERSUN, ARMAGEDDON TIME, THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN, TRIANGLE OF SADNESS, DECISION TO LEAVE, THE GOOD NURSE, HOLY SPIDER, THE NOVELIST'S STORY, SLASH/BACK, STARS AT NOON, TO LESLIE, WENDELL & WILD, EO.
Chris Knipp favorites so far:

TÁR (Todd Field) (newest addition)
THE HAPPENING/L'EVENEMENT (Audrey Diwan)
MEMORIA (Apichatpong Weersethekul)
THE TERRITORY (Alex Pritz)
HIT THE ROAD (Panah Panahi)
THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD (Joachim Trier)
COMPARTMENT NO. 6 (Juho Kuosmanen)
A HERO (Asghar Farhadi)
PARIS 13th DISTRICT (Jacques Audiard)
ONE FINE MORNING/UN BEAU JOUR (Mia Hansen-Love) - not yet released
EMILY THE CRIMINAL (John Patton Ford)
THE NORTHMAN (Robert Eggers)

A couple of these may be 2021. Not on my list: EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE - I have an aversion to multiverse movies and still haven't seen it. TOP GUN: MAVERICK, PARALLEL MOTHERS, LICORICE PIZZA. They left too little impression. RRR, COW, BOILING POINT, BENEDICTION, THE WOMAN KING, BRIAN AND CHARLES, - I havenn't seen them yet. I might add; honorable mentions: ELVIS, COSTA BRAVA, LEBANON. A favorite unreleased foreign film (NYAFF): THE SALES GIRL (Mongolia, Anchivdorj Sengedorj) . A notable recent reissue: SEPA: NUESTRO SENOR DE LOS MILAGROS (1986). The doc FIRE OF LOVE (Dosa) is getting a lot of attention lately.

What have I forgotten?
