Movie Habit has been around for about fifteen years. Writers have come and gone, our ranks have swelled and shrunk. This year we find ourselves down to three writers, but each of us has been fairly prolific. You can find 225 movie reviews on our web site since this time last year. Not too bad, if we do say so ourselves.

We each created a top ten list for 2013 (see links to our individual lists in the sidebar). We then weighted our favorites by the number of contributions by each writer, and combined the lists to come up with a Movie Habit overall top ten.
