Top 10 2022 Films You Shouldn't Miss

Updated: Nov 12, 2021


2022 is coming out swinging as the global pandemic slowly enters the rearview mirrors. On the slate are some much expected blockbuster movies such as DC's Aquaman 2 & Jurassic World Dominion set to close the reboot trilogy. But, also on the horizon are some highly unexpected films slated for 2022 such as Legally Blonde 3 as well as Kung Fury 2.
