1 year, 342 movies, 12 months of production, 7 minutes

yeeep, thats right. a man by the name of kees van dijkhuizen has been making annual film mashups since forevers. and this one is by far the best one i have ever seen.

i can proudly say that i can name the film of every clip that is shown in this glorious video. 2009 was definitely a year to remember for me in terms of films and personal life. the films of 2009 has helped shape my life in ways you cannot imagine. and as i watch this, i cant help but be reminded by every clip of the emotional roller coaster and life changing moments of this year. each film chronicles the ups and downs and curves and turns that has finally lead me to where i am today. as i unfasten my seat belt for the new upcoming year, i hesitate in fear of the new journey and films ahead of me. because its not just about the movies but the moments and people those films will bring with them.

this is a constant reminder of how GLOURIOUS/COMPLICATED/STARRY/HURTFUL/REVOLUTIONARY/LOVELY/PUBLIC/SERIOUS/PRECIOUS/CRAZY/FANTASTIC/ WILD/SUMMERY/TERMINATING/EDUCATING/ADVENTUROUS this year really was.

this is not my top 2009 films list but these are the films that shaped my year.

1) up!

2) moon

3) thirst

4) 500 days of summer

5) the hurt locker

6) district 9

7) revolutionary road

8) american beauty

9) WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

10) an education

11) the cove

12) up in the air

13) vengeance trilogy (always)

hahha fine. besides two or three of those up there, its basically my top film list of 2009. i havent watched a single man, and much more yet but im sure this list is pretty damn close to my yearly conclusive one. anyway, enjoy! i cant get enough of this video. it brings such nostalgia. i love it. and i love you.

the end.
