Survey reveals America's favorite movies from 2022

The best movie of 2022 was also its highest-grossing one, according to one in five Americans. 

A recent OnePoll survey of 2,000 respondents found that 19% selected “Top Gun: Maverick” as one of their favorites for the year, making it the most popular choice among those polled.

But fans weren’t the only ones who walked away impressed.

In addition to the $1.48 billion it achieved at the box office this year, “Maverick” has already received two Golden Globe nominations from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as well as the title of Best Film by the National Board of Review.

Originally announced by Paramount Pictures back in 2010, the sequel took its time getting to theaters as a result of behind-the-scenes complications and pandemic-related delays, moving its release date four times before finally landing on May 27, 2022. 

Tom Cruise himself was adamant that the film would debut in theaters, telling a Q&A at Cannes that a streaming-only premiere was “never going to happen.”

Looking at the rest of OnePoll’s Best-Of list, only one streaming-exclusive film cracked the top ten  – “Enola Holmes 2,” starring Millie Bobby Brown as the titular Enola and Henry Cavill as her better-recognized brother, Sherlock Holmes. 

Other films that made the list included highly anticipated sequels like “Jurassic World: Dominion” (17%) and Marvel’s “Thor: Love and Thunder” (15%), as well as critically acclaimed films like “The Whale” (11%) and new cult classics like “Bodies Bodies Bodies” (11%).

And although “Top Gun: Maverick” received the largest number of thumbs up total, other movies received a slightly higher percentage of positive reviews relative to the number of respondents who watched – like “Where the Crawdads Sing,” which was liked by 61% of respondents.

A few other movies had more unanimously positive feedback among those who watched it, such as “Where the Crawdads Sing” (61%) and “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” (58%).

Still, “Top Gun: Maverick” stood out as one the top-ten most-watched films of 2022, and the film to receive the largest number of “thumbs up” among respondents.

Not one to take his success for granted, Cruise recently posted a video to social media thanking everyone for “coming out to the theaters” and supporting “Top Gun: Maverick” — just before fist-bumping “Mission Impossible” director Chris McQuarrie and free-falling out of a plane.
