Staying Up Till Midnight Won’t Be a Problem With These 38 New Year’s Movies

Ringing in the new year from the comfort of your couch doesn’t mean you have to forgo your flute of Champagne. After all, who said you can’t have your own little party for one on New Year’s Eve? For starters, you get to avoid all the large crowds, long lines, overpriced cocktails (this alone is enough to make me want to stay in), and the post-midnight traffic. Plus, you get to party in your pajamas all night, and you’re already within walking distance of your bed. Doesn’t sound like a bad time, if you ask me – and our list of the best New Year’s Eve movies is here to help you find the perfect way to pass the time until midnight.

Of course, you could partake in New Year’s-themed jello shots or jot down your New Year’s resolutions – but there’s nothing like classics like “Bridget Jones’s Diary,” “Holidate,” “Are We There Yet?,” and the iconic “New Year’s Eve,” and there’s so much more out there. Check out the New Year’s movies we’re most excited to stream in the slides ahead.
