Okay, let’s talk about a little project I did a while back. I was digging around for some good romance movies from 2009, not sure exactly what I was in the mood for but, you know, something in that ballpark.
First, I just started with a simple Google search. I typed in “romance movies 2009”, pretty basic, right? The search results were alright, giving me some movie titles and where to find them, but I wanted more. I clicked on a few sites to see what they had.
Then, I moved on to streaming platforms. I checked out Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. I just typed “romance” into their search bars. Man, they’ve got tons of stuff! Thousands of movies popped up, it was a bit overwhelming, honestly.
After that, I decided to narrow it down to just 2009 releases. I used the filters on these sites, where available, to sort by year and genre. I also cross-referenced with some of the lists I found during my initial Google search. Some titles started to show up more than once, like “500 Days of Summer” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” (don’t judge, everyone has their guilty pleasures).
My Top Picks from 2009
So, after all that digging, I made a list of what I thought were the best romance movies from 2009. Here’s what I ended up with:
- 500 Days of Summer – This one kept popping up, so I figured it must be worth a watch.
- The Twilight Saga: New Moon – Yeah, yeah, I know, but it’s a classic of that era!
- Ghosts of Girlfriends Past – Sounded like a fun, lighthearted one.
- Bride Wars – Who doesn’t love a good rom-com about friendship and weddings?
- Management – This one seemed a bit more under the radar, which intrigued me.
I ended up watching all of these over the next few weeks. Some I liked, some I didn’t, but it was a fun little project. And hey, I discovered a couple of new favorites along the way. Mission accomplished, I guess!
It is a fun experiment to find movies by a specific year. If you guys ever find yourselves bored and looking for something to watch, I totally recommend trying it out. You might be surprised at what you find!
