List: Top 5 Movies of 2022 (so far)

UPDATE: We’ve now added Ryan and Jay’s lists as they discussed on Extra Film

This week on Episode 489 of the InSession Film Podcast, as we do every year at this time, we discussed our Top 5 movies of the year so far. After the last two years, it’s been exciting to just to see things get back to normal with theaters back at 100% and audiences throwing popcorn everywhere. That, in and of itself, has made for a fun year at the movies so far. But there’s also been some phenomenal movies in 2022 to this point. There is no doubt that a few of them will be heavy contenders at the end of the year. However, the year has also seen its fair shar of let downs as well. It may not be the strongest first-half on the whole, but there’s plenty to choose from for this exercise and we had a blast talking about our favorites of 2022 so far. That said, what would be your Top 5?
