Here are 10 excellent movies that you probably didn't get around to seeing in 2018, including 'First Man' and 'Paddington 2.'

2018 has been a great year for movies, with major critical and box office hits like "Black Panther" and "A Star Is Born."
But there are a handful of excellent movies that flew under the radar that you probably didn't see, so we made a list of them all, from "Paddington 2" to "First Man."

2018 has been a great year for movies, big and small.

At the beginning of the year, "Black Panther" set a great tone for the year, being both a critical and box office smash hit. Other big hits throughout the year include "Avengers: Infinity War," "Crazy Rich Asians," "A Star Is Born," and "Venom," all of which were major hits at the box office.

But what about the smaller movies you didn't see? We gathered a list of our favorite movies of 2018 that flew under the radar and weren't talked about enough and didn't pick up much traction at the box office, from "Paddington 2" to "The Favourite."

Here are the 10 greatest films of 2018 that you probably didn't see.

"Paddington 2" — released January 12

"Annihilation" — released February 23

"Annihilation" came out amid the awards season, so a lot of people missed it. It's one of Natalie Portman's best movies and tells a a visually-stunning, imaginative story that will leave you thinking for hours or even days after you see it. Its strong female cast, which includes Gina Rodriguez and Tessa Thompson, is inspiring. If you haven't seen it yet, you can rent it on digital now to catch up.

"The Death of Stalin" — released March 9

From Arnando Iannucci , the creator of HBO’s hit comedy and satire “Veep,” “The Death of Stalin” is an astonishing comedy rooted in political reality that is filled with memorable one-liners and clever visuals but never makes fun of the devastating reality that inspired it. It’s also filled with underrated performances from Jason Isaacs, Rupert Friend, and Steve Buscemi.

"First Reformed" — released May 18

"Solo: A Star Wars Story" — released May 25

"Sorry to Bother You" — released July 6

"Searching" — released August 24

"First Man" — released October 12

"The Favourite" — released November 23

"Mary Queen of Scots" — released December 7
