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. (The movies everyone's seeing, and some awards they're up for.)
