I guess most of us have franchise fatigue, so what is your favorite original movie of 2022?
Banshees of Inisherin. Might end up as my best of the decade, I know it's early but I truly loved that film. .
Between Everything Everywhere, Banshees (probably my fave), Bodies3x, and Northman (and others I haven't seen), 2022 was a truly fantastic year for original movies.
And while it was a franchise movie, Prey was also one of my favorites of the year.
Aftersun.
Absolutely stunning and moving debut film.
Banshees, EEAAO, and Tar follow closely behind it, but that was so far the one that sticks with me most.
Still have a lot to watch from last year
I mostly watch franchise movies, but as for my favorite non-franchise film of 2022, I'm torn between Ambulance and Marcel the Shell With Shoes On. I watched them both on a plane ride and took an immediate liking to both.
Looking at box office to remind me:

Yeah, gotta go with Bullet Train. Buuuut, it was based on a book. Does that count as "original"?
