This has Krisha and streaming releases like Audrie & Daisy but won't have end of year runs like The Revenant http://www.metacritic.com/browse/movies/score/metascore/year/filtered?page=0

Standard disclaimer...I'm new, this may be covered somewhere.. but I've been looking for a simple list of new movies that received their main release in 2016, either in theaters or streaming. "Main release" meaning, maybe they received a limited awards-qualifying run at the end of 2015, but the biggest release was in 2016.

This has been surprisingly difficult. A search for "2016" feature-lengths on Letterboxd gives something like 2000 results..I'm assuming most of these did not receive distribution and the site doesn't make it easy to look through a list of that size. IMDb is also a total rat's nest that is impractical to sort through. Wikipedia is very incomplete, not including any smaller films such as Krisha. Similarly, lots of other sites that purport to maintain a list (Cinemablend, etc) are obviously incomplete.

Anyone know of a good resource? Or maybe I'm not searching properly on some of the above sites?

Metacritic.

Metacritic! Surprised I forgot about that. That is probably the most complete list...if I'm being picky it kind of stinks that you can't sort it any way other than by score (by date would be better) but it's got all the smaller indies and streaming/cable movies.

Google Mike D'angelo new york releases.

This is the one if you want to go by US release dates. It has everything that had a week long theatrical run in New York, and it's what most critics use to determine eligibility.

That's very good too. Interestingly it has a lot of streaming-distributed stuff like 13th, presumably because those things also had brief theatrical runs, which I didn't realize. It is still missing some Netflix-only movies like Hush, and HBO Films releases, but between that and Metacritic, it covers everything.
