​Hello, all, and welcome back to The Friendly Film Fan! As we wind down our last days to the Top 10 Movies of 2024, we wanted to take this opportunity to show some love to the films that unfortunately did not make the cut for either the top ten themselves or the Pre-Honorable Mentions list that we do each year. Whether these films just didn’t quite live up to what they could’ve been, or we simply liked some others more, that doesn’t mean that they weren’t worth watching, examining, or spending time with along with everything else; there’s just only so many slots available, and only so many films that have the ability to fill those slots. With that in mind, we’d like to recommend to viewers the films below. You may see some entries on this list that we didn’t initially give positive reviews to, or even some that we’ve not mentioned up to now; those films are on this list due to the artistic merit we still believe they possess, worthy of discussion and examination regardless of whether we liked them or not. We also didn’t include any movies that could be found on other rankings based on titles, so if you don’t see any here you’d swear we liked, check out our Most Underrated list or – in the event you’re reading this later on – our Pre-Honorable Mentions list (Top 5 Scenes & Movie Moments entrants may still be included). In any case, we think all of the films listed are worth at least one watch, even if you never see them again afterwards. We won’t do you the disservice of breaking them all down one by one (that would make this piece excessively long), so in the spirit of brevity with which this list was made, let's get started! Underlined titles will feature links to our full reviews of those titles. Here are our Recommended Movies of 2024!

Any we missed that you would have included? Let us know in the comments section below, and thanks for reading!
