I'm trying to catch up on the best movies of 2024 that I missed during the awards season rush, and my watchlist is a mix of acclaimed dramas, international films, and a few blockbusters. I just watched "The Zone of Interest" and was completely floored by its unique approach, but I'm looking for something a bit more uplifting or genre-driven next. For fellow film enthusiasts, what were your personal standout films from last year that might not have gotten massive Oscar buzz? I'm particularly interested in hidden gems in sci-fi, comedy, or well-crafted thrillers that delivered a great story without necessarily being part of a franchise.
