(I guess this means in future years the resolution criteria will have to specify โ€œwhen Obama first posts his list, not including any of his future editsโ€ )

@Ziddletwix Iโ€™m virtually certain he got flak for omitting it and is making this up.

@Ziddletwix @NicoDelon good call out. i guess for now this will stay

@mattyb good morning sunshine

@shankypanky the sun wonโ€™t rise for another 6.5hrs ๐Ÿ˜ข

Polite Society

nice add! the market is such a long scroll on mobile it was tough to compare list and answers ๐Ÿ™ƒ

He really did put stuff he produced on his list. Classy.

good to be proud of your work I guess? imagine producing films that didn't rank as a favourite, that would be disappointing.

@shankypanky Not if you explicitly rule them out. Adding them to the list adds no information. We already knew he liked those movies.

@NicoDelon Eh, at least he had them separated I suppose

๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

well played

@Agh perfection

edit: oh it's out! I must have felt that ๐Ÿ˜…

if this isn't on the list I'm disgregarding the whole thing.

honestly I stand by this statement. ๐Ÿ˜’

We got the book list, movies and songs are likely to close shortly, last call!!

@mattyb are we getting 1 a day? What is this, an advent calendar?

Anyways, I made a market on which one weโ€™ll get next:

Leave the World Behind

If Obama's going to put a film he helped make on his list, surely it'd be the more recent one (that he actually consulted on the script for, no less)

Barbie is stupidly undervalued here. Itโ€™s a feminist landmark and funny as hell. Obama fodder. Bad placement.

@Slothrop I think Rustin is undervalued. Obama made the movie!

A Little Life

Urgh, i misunderstood what this one was - turns out it's actually NOT just a film as i thought, but a recording of a play. You might want to N/A this one.

@Marnix done. I went through his history and he only picks movies and documentaries, but for the odd mini-series. 2020 (COVID) was the major departure from this, but even then heโ€™s never included a play. He didnโ€™t include the Hamilton recording. I assume heโ€™s not going to include A Little Life.
