Halfway through the year, and with Spider-Man about to swing in, it's time to take stock of the movies of 2017. Get Out and Wonder Woman aside, the screen hits that most captured the zeitgeist were streaming this year — Big Little Lies and The Handmaid's Tale anyone?

But it's never a ‘bad' film year. You just need to pay close attention to catch the gems as the blockbusters these days are nearly all “brand” driven. With notable exceptions franchise films are rarely the films that people still care about once the dust has settled. I mean you could see a new Transformers or Pirates or Cars movies but you'd be much better off with The Big Sick, one of the most likeable romantic comedies in years, or renting the exquisite Frantz from gay french auteur François Ozon.

There are too many ways in which we could randomly “review” the year's first half, so let us choose the way of eye candy.
