What movies should I watch on New Year's?

Submitted by BigJ1230 t3_zv2bqi in movies

What movies do you say that I should watch on New Year's week (starting Monday), New Year's Eve Day, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day? Which the only movie I have on my list so far is one of my favorite movies ever, Slap Shot 1977 starring Paul Newman. I know that that movie is not a New Year's movie per se, but to me I consider it a New Year's movie because my dad who passed away in December 2021 and I watched that movie together on New Year's. Other than that, I'm trying to figure out what other movies I should add to my list and I appreciate all the recommendations in advance, thanks!

Also I was thinking of maybe watching all the Karate Kid movies in 4K Blu-ray sometime this week and then binge watching The Cobra Kai series. Then I was planning on possibly watching the Back to the Future Trilogy in 4K Blu-ray as well If you guys think that these movies and shows are good to add to the list. Lastly, whatever movies that you recommend me to watch I'll add to my list as well, thanks in advance again!

New Year’s Evil (1980) A serial killer announces to a punk rock personality that when the clock strikes midnight in each time zone, someone will be murdered.

200 Cigarettes (1999). All star cast (including Paul Rudd and Christina Ricci) set in the 80s on New Years Eve. Underrated and hilarious.

Strange Days is pretty sweet, near future cyberpunk starring Ralph Fiennes as a lovably slimy holo-dealer having a very eventful New Year’s Eve.

The Apartment (1960) is a great New Years watch and a timeless movie. It won the Best Picture Oscar back in the day and it's just a wonderful story.

I haven't seen that movie, but I do watch older movies and I do love Jack Lemmon! Which while I'm at it I should add Grumpy Old Men and Grumpyer Old Men as well.

Which thanks for the suggestion!

2022 is the 30th anniversary of Bram Stoker's Dracula, thr 40th anniversary of Blade Runner and Conan the Barbarian, and the 100th of Nosferatu.

Or you can watch one of those Love Actually ripoffs called New Year's Eve.

The Love Actually ripoffs sound very cheesy. I rather watch some movies and movie that have multiple movies that are better than that, lol.
