First, it was Barack Obama's favourite phone. Now, "BlackBerry" is one of the former U.S. president's top films of the year.

The ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø satire from director Matt Johnson is one of 13 movies to make Obama's list of the best films of 2023.

Glenn Howerton and Jay Baruchel star as Research in Motion heads Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis in the fictionalized tale of the ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø company's rise and fall.

Obama was famously a longtime lover of the BlackBerry, and only upgraded to an iPhone in 2016.

"Past Lives," the nostalgic romance from Korean-ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø filmmaker Celine Song, also nabbed a spot on his annual list.

His other favourites include "The Holdovers," "Oppenheimer" and "Anatomy of a Fall."
