“Just remember, the thing you’re running from is almost always the thing you’re running towards.” We’re all running towards the movie theater – right?? Happy Holidays movie buffs! It’s time for a look back at the year in movies. Our good friend the “Sleepy Skunk” has released his annual end-of-the-year recap video – the 2023 Movie Trailer Mashup – utilizing footage from every major movie trailer released throughout 2023 edited together to make you laugh and grin and get all emotional. Louis, who makes this mashup every year, puts a lot of time and effort into making sure this plays perfectly. I’m delighted to see him include clips from films like Scrapper, Godzilla: Minus One, Skinamarink, Sanctuary, BlackBerry, La Chimera, The Boy and the Heron, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, & so many others. One of his best – click play below.
This 2023 retrospective comes direct from SleepySkunk’s YouTube page. For the full list of films (with time-stamps) featured in the video mashup, head right to this Tumblr page. As usual with these year-end video retrospectives, there’s probably a few scenes you might not recognize or some you do and want to rewatch, which is why these are so much fun to examine closely every time. For previous SleepySkunk retrospectives, watch more here: 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, and 2012. As always, these video recaps make this year look like one of the best years ever in movie history – so many wonderful films. My top end-of-the-year recommendations: La Chimera, The Boy and the Heron, The Holdovers, Past Lives, American Fiction, Cassandro, Fair Play, Poor Things, Anselm, and Fallen Leaves.
