But not until now have I been able to share one of his wonderful end of the year film tributes, which he’s done for the past three years. Videos such as this gives me goosebumps. They serve as reminders of how good or bad a year in the film has been. This has been one of the great years, and this tribute confirms it for me. There’s been a lot of these sorts of compilation videos floating around the web recently, but I think Dijkhuizen has delivered the best one, check it out after the break.
