Former President Barack Obama on Friday shared his annual list of the movies, books, and music that moved him. He wrote in a Facebook post: "As 2018 draws to a close, I'm continuing a favorite tradition of mine and sharing my year-end lists. It gives me a moment to pause and reflect on the year through the books, movies, and music that I found most thought-provoking, inspiring, or just plain loved...I hope you enjoy reading, watching, and listening." His books list begins, not surprisingly, with former first lady Michelle Obama's recently released 'Becoming.' Barack Obama also gives nods to 'Things Fall Apart' by Chinua Achebe and Nelson Mandela's 'Long Walk to Freedom.' Among the movies getting the official Obama endorsement are 'Black Panther,' 'If Beale Street Could Talk,' and, 'Roma.' Songs include, 'One Trick Ponies' by Kurt Vile and 'Turnin' Me Up' by BJ the Chicago Kid. The full list can be found on the former president's Facebook page.
