Do you have a go-to new year movie? - General Discussion Discussion

[–] [deleted] 5 months ago

I don't either.

I've had a long tradition of watching Halloween (1978) every 31st October. I'm now watching Black Christmas (1974) every 25th December. I plan on watching My Bloody Valentine (1981) every 14th February. I also watch some Friday the 13th movies when that date pops up.

I'd like a great horror movie to watch every new years eve or day. I have seen New Years Evil (1980) but it wasn't good enough to become an annual rewatch.

Horror wise, New Year's Evil is the only one I can think of.

New Years Evil (80) is a pretty fun slasher horror as well.

No. Are there New Year Movies? Probably. I can't think of any. Are there New Year Movies we can argue over for the next three decades and debate whether they technically qualify as one or not? I do hope so.

There aren't many, but some do exist. The Poseidon Adventure takes place during a New Year's party.

The Poseidon Adventure (1972) is a good one!

When Harry Met Sally (1989) has some pivotal NYE scenes.

I've been watching the Alien movies starting in January. I've done that for several years now.

Aliens > Alien for me.

I least watch the first two movies but I might watch all four this year. It's been a long time since I've watch Alien 3 and Resurrection.

I don't have any go to movies for holidays or other particular times of year. I will watch more of certain genres, like more horror during Halloween, but there isn't a movie I like enough to watch yearly.

I don't have one I watch yearly, but I have movies I watch often during Halloween and Christmas.

I think it used to be Forrest Gump, but I don't like that movie as much anymore, so nothing for now.

I've always liked the movie, but it never gave me a rewatch vibe. I'm not sure why.

It was good as a seasonal re-watch because it kinda has a seasonal feeling to it. But I'm just not as big of a fan of the film anymore as I used to be. I think The Truman Show might be my new NY go-to.

Bridget Jones's Diary. This movie tells the truth of a new year. It's all about making resolutions, officially writing them down, and royally breaking every single one of them.

It's one of my favorite movies ever, and I think it is the perfect New Year's Eve or New Year's Day rewatch.

I don't see the words "getting drunk" anywhere near here.
