Filmspotting assembles the film critic Avengers -- Michael Phillips (Chicago Tribune) and Scott Tobias (A.V. Club) -- to finish off the Top 10 Films of 2012 countdown and reflect on the year in cinema.

Josh and Adam didn't set out to meet their makers, but they do tackle the Promethean task of counting down their Top 10 Films of 2012 with the help of some special guest contributors.

From the cosmic grandeur of "The Tree of Life" and "Melancholia," to the everyday existential crises of "Take Shelter" and "Martha Marcy May Marlene," 2011 was a fascinating year in film. To help make it even more fascinating, old acquaintances Michael Phillips, Scott Tobias and Josh Larsen drop by to help ring in the new year with a countdown of the Top 10 Films of 2011.
