The Apartment

Hopefully your New Year’s Eve involves no adultery, firings, or suicide scares.

When Harry Met Sally

Unless your night comes with the greatest rom-com speech in the history of the genre, it can’t compare.

About a Boy

Or we can look to the opposite end of the romantic spectrum. Will’s New Year’s Eve party was when he realized that his entire life was kind of a mediocre lazy shi*t show.

The Hudsucker Proxy

Let’s HOPE your midnight is less exciting than hanging from the ledge of a skyscraper.

Sunset Boulevard

If you show up to your party and you’re the only guest invited, RUN.

The Godfather: Part II

This is NOT the kind of kiss you want on New Year’s Eve.

Strange Days

May your night be free of rape and murder and evidence found in somebody’s cerebral cortex.

The Poseidon Adventure

New Year’s and tsunamis just don’t mix.

Four Rooms

Tim Roth gets into some weird Wiccan sex stuff, some weird non-Wiccan sex stuff, some adventures in babysitting, and cuts off a dude’s pinky. All of which makes the annual Twilight Zone marathon look like a really great New Year’s Eve alternative.
