KARE 11: Top 5 Films of 2026 (So Far)
By Brian Eggert | July 29, 2026
Dear readers,
I recently returned to KARE 11 Saturday, the weekend morning show of Minnesota’s local NBC affiliate, to share my list of the Top 5 Films of 2026 so far.
Admittedly, between the time we recorded this segment and now, my list has changed a little. However, I still feel that each of these selections is among the best of the year.
Most importantly, my favorite film of the year so far remains the same. Something pretty astounding would have to come along to knock it out of the first-place spot.
Check out the video below to see my ranking. And visit my Guest Appearances page for other TV and podcast appearances.
Happy viewing!
