Tonight’s a special night in the Leitch household: It’s Dorkfest, the yearly four-hour unveiling of my and my old Mattoon friend Tim Grierson’s top-10-movies-of-the-year list. (We’ve been doing this for 17 years now; Tim turned out to be a professional film critic, the jerk.) It’s pretty much the coolest, nerdiest tradition I have. Here are our lists from 2007. LEITCH1.
