The New Year's Eve Movies To Enjoy In Time For 2024

When we think of the holiday season, there’s a good chance that Christmas is the only thing that comes to mind. Still, most of us tend to forget that we have another reason to celebrate just a week later. That’s right; we’re talking about New Year’s Eve. The best bit?

While there might be a host of Christmas movies to choose from, it turns out we aren’t short on New Year’s flicks, either. Now, the New Year’s Eve movies to enjoy in time for 2024 could be just the things that so many of us need to see the new year in style.

When Harry Met Sally might just have the best NYE scene ever

Want to enjoy one of the best rom-coms to ever hit the big screen and have a way to see in the New Year? You’re not alone, and that’s where ‘When Harry Met Sally’ comes in. After all, what starts as Harry and Sally (played by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan) arguing about whether or not men and women can be just friends soon turns into them meeting ten years later and realizing that the debate might be more complicated than they thought. As well as bringing an epic story to life, ‘When Harry Met Sally’ also has one of the best New Year’s Eve scenes of any movie.

The Godfather Part II might not be New Year-focused, but it still counts

It didn’t take long after the epic crime drama that was ‘The Godfather’ for ‘The Godfather Part II’ to hit the big screen. Of course, we get to continue the story of Michael Corleone (played by Al Pacino) as he steps up as the new Don of the family, but being a sequel and a prequel to the first film means we also get to learn more about Vito Corleone (played by Robert De Niro) and what it was like to form the family enterprise that grew to take over New York City. While it might not be purely a New Year’s movie, it does have one of the most memorable NYE parties in Cuba as a part of it all - and a kiss to see in the new year that no one wants to receive.

New Year’s Eve has everything you could need in the title

With a name like ‘New Year’s Eve,’ it might be little wonder that this rom-com is one of the best movies to enjoy at the end of the year. From promise to love to forgiveness to hope, this really will take you on an emotional roller coaster as we team up with a number of people across New York as they try to celebrate the new year. We have a rockstar clashing with his ex, a singer getting stranded with a moody partner on the way to a New Year’s event, and a nurse who stays with her patient in the hopes he will get to see the ball drop one last time. It’s a wild ride, but one that really hits you in the feels by the end of it all.

Bridget Jones’s Diary takes us full circle when it comes to New Year’s Eve

Starting and ending at New Year’s means the rom-com that is ‘Bridget Jones’s Diary’ could be just the thing so many of us need to see before 2024 is here. If you haven’t seen it, where have you been? In short, Bridget Jones (played by Renée Zellweger) decides that at 32 years old, she is ready to take control of her life once and for all - by starting a diary. Now, this is by far the most exciting book she has on her nightstand as her taste for adventure - and opinions on just about everything in the world - become a hilarious life story. It might be Zellweger’s best role and is certainly a way to laugh your way into a new year.

The New Year’s Eve movies to enjoy in time for 2024 come in all shapes and sizes, but why do we have to stick to just one? After all, with the countdown to the new year on the way, there is plenty of time to laugh, shed some tears, and fall in love before 2023 is over.
