We’ve nearly reached 2022’s halfway point, and at the movies it’s shaping up to be a pretty special year, with new and veteran voices chiming in with films worthy of celebration.
Hollywood is rebuilding after two years that were harshly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, but judging by the healthy box office receipts for “Top Gun: Maverick,” things are once again trending in the right direction.
Here’s a look at the rest of 2022’s best and brightest to date, and where to catch up with them before awards season rolls in.
- 10. ‘Jackass Forever’
The boys are back: a little older, a little grayer, but just as crazy as they ever were. Watching Johnny Knoxville, Steve O and the rest of the gang punish themselves for our entertainment is still gratifying after all these years, and the fourth big-screen “Jackass” provided the cathartic laughs we needed after being cooped up for two long years. Sure, it’s the stunts that bring them together, but it’s the camaraderie and brotherhood between them that lasts long after the bruises heal. (Paramount+)
