Great Movies for New Year's

Are you ringing in the New Year by staying in and avoiding the after, after Christmas sales? Well here are some films that help celebrate the New Year in style.

The ultimate New Year's Eve movie and now a camp classic. One of the best disaster movies ever made.

Wolfgang Petersen's 2006 remake is no where near as good as the original. The special effects for the ship capsizing are amazing but the rest of the film falls flat.

When Harry Met Sally probably feature the most memorable New Year's Eve scene ever put on film. Twenty-one years later the film is still as funny and poignant as ever.

The ground breaking musical Moulin Rouge celebrates truth, beauty, freedom and most of all, love at the dawn of the 20th century.

New Year's Eve 1958 and Micheal Corleone says the immortal line to his brother Fredo, "I know it was you Fredo; you broke my heart." as the Cuban government collapses around them.

(The Movie House recommends watching all three Godfather films as a New year's day marathon.)

The Apartment has one of the great ending lines in film history. Watch as Miss Kubilick (Shirley MacLaine) and Mr. Baxter (Jack Lemmon) ring in the New Year together.

The Coen Bros. whimsical business fairy tale that concludes at midnight on New Year's Eve.

The Irving Berlin musical that introduced White Christmas and is the perfect bridge to end the Christmas Holiday and begin the New Year.

The original Rat Pack plan a daring Las Vegas heist on New Year's Eve.

Underdog Rocky Balboa in the boxing match of his life on the first day of the bicentennial year of 1976.

Desperate to keep Joe Gillis to herself, Norma Desmond commits a serious act. watch as Norma embraces and entraps him at the stroke of midnight.

Eddie Murphy's second big hit was this buddy comedy that relied on future's trading. Dan Aykroyd, Ralph Bellamy, Don Ameche and Jamie Lee Curtis star in this very funny movie.

Woody Allen's charming and heartwarming nostalgic look back and the days of radio. You'll feel a warm glow by the time the masked avenger wishes you a Happy New Year.

Peter's Friends is a British comedy directed by Kenneth Branagh about a group of friends that gather together to celebrate New Year's. Think of it as an English Big Chill.

Another heist film. This one takes place at the dawn of the new millennium.

The 1933 winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture, the film opens on new Year's Eve 1899 and follows the lives of a British family through the first 30 years of the 20th century. The first film to use the sinking of the Titanic as a plot device.

Happy 2011 from The Movie House.
