"Already we're at the midpoint of 2018 (where does the time go?), and anyone of the opinion that it's been a mediocre year at the multiplex just wasn't looking hard enough. Why even narrowing the titles down to a workable 20 titles was no small feat – I cringe at the many worthy films that didn't make the cut and we still have six more months of amazing movies to go – and a cursory glance at the titles assembled here shows a wonderful and wide-ranging miscellany.
The auteur is alive and well, arthouse and blockbusters are plentiful, genre films are stronger than ever, female-led projects are populist and bankable, as are strong women characters (a trend that we're happy to say continues to flourish in a very male dominated industry).
So take a look at our favorite 20 films so far from 2018 – hopefully several of these selections are new to you."
