leitch:

Last night, Grierson and I — two weeks earlier than usual — completed our 21st Annual Dorkfest, going over our top 10 movies of the year. (This started in 1991, I believe in the Grierson family rec room.)

You can find our 2012 top 10 over at Deadspin, with Nos. 10-6 here and Nos. 5-1 here.

For the sake of being completist, Grierson and I sat down this morning and gathered our No. 1 films for every year since 1991. So we don’t lose them, here they are:
