(Nicola Dove/IFC Films via AP) Yes, everyone is still doing the Wakanda salute from Black Panther, cringing along with Elsie Fisher's character in Eighth Grade, and singing "Shallow" from A Star Is Born. But as Marlow Stern writes for the Daily Beast, there were more than 700 movies released this year, and "you were bound to miss some gems." Whether you're in the mood for political satire, a couple's struggle to have a child, or gonzo horror, here are the flicks you shouldn't miss but probably did: You Were Never Really Here, starring Joaquin Phoenix Private Life, starring Paul Giamatti and Kathryn Hahn Sorry to Bother You, starring Tessa Thompson and Lakeith Stanfield The Death of Stalin, starring Steve Buscemi, Jeffrey Tambor, and Jason Isaacs Mandy, starring Nicolas Cage Minding the Gap, a documentary by Bing Liu on Rust Belt skater boys Burning, from South Korean director Lee Chang-dong and starring Steven Yeun More on these films here.
