Ever wondered what a President does in his own personal time? Well, we know for Donald
Trump that largely means playing golf and causing unfathomable divides within his country, but what about a real President, the sort who actually leads their country? For Former US President Barack Obama seems to be watching various movies and TV shows, and it looks like throughout 2020 he has managed to consume more than ever, as he has now released a personal top movies and TV shows of 2020 list.

Detailed over Twitter, Obama shared his favourites of both. For movies they are as follows:


Ma Rainey's Black Bottom
Beanpole
Bacurau
Nomadland
Soul
Lovers Rock
Collective
Mank
Martin Eden
Let Him Go
Time
Boys State
Selah and the Spades
Crip Camp


As for his favourite TV shows, they are:


Better Call Saul
The Queen's Gambit
I May Destroy You
The Boys
The Good Lord Bird
Devs
The Last Dance
Mrs. America
The Good Place
City So Real


Looking over the list in full, you can really see that Obama has quite a spectacular taste when it comes to the entertainment he consumes. Hopefully, this will become an annual procedure, as it will be interesting to see what the choices are when theatres actually reopen and movies are once again released, not delayed.
