Half of 2016 has already come and gone, but have any Oscar contenders hit theaters yet? Have any future classics graced our biggest screens? Probably so! Despite the blockbuster box-office woes plaguing Hollywood's purse strings right now, this year has offered a few remarkable movies here and there -- if you know where to look. In some places, like a certain lucrative animal utopia, that's obvious. In others, you have to keep squinting at your theater's marquis to realize it's probably not screening the best independent titles. But have no fear -- some of these have already appeared on iTunes (or whatever home-viewing platform you select), and others will arrive there imminently. Put 'em all on your radar, because we could be talking about these 10 titles again very soon. And a special shout-out to a few honorable mentions: "10 Cloverfield Lane," "Hunt for the Wilderpeople," "Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising" and "De Palma." Onward!
