We’ve come to the end of this year’s awards and as proof of the excellent year that was 2013, we had a tie in our Top 10 films. As a result, I will now present the Top 11 Films of 2013, as voted on by members of the LAMB: …

Fletch: I don’t think you’re overreacting at all.
Remember… I only got like… 2 or 3 emails in response to the new Versus event. That’s pretty lame.

Time will tell…
