We covered dozens of new movies in 2024, some we loved, some we didn't, and everything in between. And there are always a few favorites that we don't get a chance to talk about. Today, we're making recommendations for great movies we missed in 2024.

The new Netflix series Black Doves is a pulpy and stylish British spy show starring Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw. Knightly plays a politician's wife who's been secretly funneling information to a mysterious spy network for years, and Whishaw plays her old partner who's been out of the game.

NPR staff recommend four young adult novels: "Heir," "Annie LeBlanc is Not Dead Yet," "The Millicent Quibb School of Etiquette For Young Ladies of Mad Science," and "Dragonfruit."

In the Netflix series The Madness, Colman Domingo plays a CNN pundit who witnesses a brutal murder, and then finds himself on the run as he's framed for the crime.

The super-meta Hulu series Interior Chinatown mashes up a whole bunch of genres — including kung fu movies and police procedurals — to explore Asian-American identity in interesting ways.

In the hit Disney film Moana, a girl (Auli'i Cravalho) finally gets her chance to see more of the world. And with a whole new batch of songs, in Moana 2, she's older and has a new purpose.

You may not see Denzel Washington in the new Netflix film adaptation of the August Wilson play The Piano Lesson, but his influence as producer – and parent – is unmistakable.

If you've ever loved a movie musical, then you've probably got a favorite movie musical number — a song that makes you want to sing along, swoon, celebrate, or simply dance with the nearest lamppost.

In the deeply goofy Christmas action comedy Red One, the holiday season comes to an emergency halt when Santa (J.K. Simmons) is kidnapped.

One night in Belfast in 1972, a mother of ten was abducted from her home in front of her children and never seen again. But the new FX series Say Nothing isn't just true crime – it's part of a more complex history.
