Stand Out Moments of 2008

What were your Stand Out Moments of 2008? What is the event that sticks out in your mind? What film got your attention this year? What song have you not been able to get out of your head this year?

My stand out moment has to be at the V festival. Standing ankle deep in mud, being rained on (in August), arms in the air singing along to Muse and completely oblivious to the rain, mud, cold (in August). “Best, you’ve got to be the best you’ve got to change the world and use this chance to be heard your time is now” What a moment.

The stand out film of the year for me was Mamma Mia! Yes, I know it’s cheesy, but I LOVED this film SO much. Despite thinking for the first 5 minutes that I was going to hate it, it is already up there in my top 5 films of all time – the ultimate chick flick, ultimate feel good film, and once again proving that Julie Walters is one of the greatest comic actresses around.

Stand out songs was a bit more problematic…there’s been a lot of good music this year (and a lot of “please God make it stop” music). I couldn’t pick one alone, so these are the 3 songs that literally stopped me in my tracks the first time I heard them: “Love is Noise” by the Verve; “Use Somebody” by Kings of Leon; and “One Day Like This” by Elbow.

I could now go on to the ‘worst’ list…but you know what? I much prefer to walk on the sunny side of the street! I’d love to hear what your stand out moments, songs and films were this year, so please leave me a comment and let me know!

Love
