Happiness

This time, the 200TH film I watched in 2009. You read that correctly, the 200TH film I've watched in 2009.

Happiness
Directed by Hur Jin-ho, starring Hwang Jung-Min and Im Soo-Jung.

Happiness is a lovely film about two terminally ill people that meet in a sanatorium, and their struggle to live and love. While the description may sound sappy, the film isn't. With Hur's direction and Hwang and Im's acting, Happiness is one of the finest films I've seen. The mixture of humor, romance, and drama is top notch, and leaves one clamoring for more.

I didn't realize until well after watching Happiness that it would be the 200TH film I'd watched in 2009. Looking back, I can't think of many films that would have been a better choice.
