I enjoy finding these movies that are actually good but rather unknown myself. The good thing about when the year is over is that you get all these lists of people who watch a lot of things (including a lot of crap) and you can see afterwards what was good or bad to pick what possibly interests you. The Ballad of Wallis Island was one that for sure stood out for me and this way, I don't have to spend a lot of time going through bad movies to find a couple good ones.
It's nice to see I help others discover movies like this!
Cheers,
