Top 10 Movies of 2022
—| B2-C1 (intermediate to advanced) |—
As a low-key movie buff, every year I like to compile a list of the best films that I saw during the year. These are not always new releases, as I do enjoy looking back at older works of cinema. The movies I select are based on my own personal interests, quality in script-writing and acting, cinematography, cohesion of tone, story line threading, originality, and educational quality in language.
If you are looking for an interesting or entertaining movie to watch in order to practice your listening comprehension and vocabulary in English, I recommend that you check out any one of the following…
