While it would be tempting to reimagine Mia Hansen-Love’s Bergman Island as an arthouse Jurassic Park - a group of happy-go-lucky visitors are terrorised by a pack of genetically engineered Swedish depressives - the actual film itself is a mini marvel of a movie. Read Empire’s list of the best movies of 2022 below, and get ready for 2023 – a certain Indiana Jones awaits… Across these 12 months, movies have taken us to all kinds of new worlds and experiences – from berserker Viking brawls, to fluffy panda-shaped puberty, to 1980s film school, and to the Comanche nation to face down one ugly motherfu–– well, you get the picture. As usual, we’re running from UK release dates (yes, we know some of these were 2021 in the States no, we haven’t got Pearl or Marcel The Shell With Shoes On yet), and are looking at films released both on the big screen, and beamed straight into our living rooms (which, half the time, we also wished we were watching in a cinema). Those individual ballots were totted up into the Top 20 below. With all the year’s major releases now out, the members of Team Empire were polled for their top 10 films of 2022. As Vin Diesel perhaps said it best: “The movies.” And it’s been a year of comebacks – not just from Pete ‘Maverick’ Mitchell, but the cinema itself. It’s been a year of auteurs taking on gigantic budgets and doing fascinating things with them. It’s been a year of searing social commentary, delivered in the form of gripping crowdpleasers. It’s been the year of the multiverse, both in the MCU and beyond. It’s been a doozy – with picturehouses back open and in full swing, massive blockbusters sweeping across screens and into our eyeballs, and all kinds of cinematic surprises winning our hearts. Here we are: somehow it’s December already, 2022 has flown by at Mach 10 speed, and it’s already time to tot up the very best movies of the year.
