New Year’s Eve 2020 isn’t going to look the same as 2019- or any other year for that matter. If you’re in search of New Year’s movies to watch on December 31 instead of heading to a party on New Year’s Eve, here’s your list! Affiliate links are in this post.
List of New Year’s Eve Movies To Watch Instead of Going To a Party (You Know, For Reasons)
So I’ll admit up front: not all of these are pure New Year’s Eve movies.
But they have at least 1 scene during New Year’s Eve or are set during that time period at some point. December 31st or thereabouts are mentioned in these movies.
It’s the same criteria used for the list of Thanksgiving movies and the list of Christmas movies.
Sure, it’s kinda a stretch.
But what can I say? I don’t make Hollywood movies, I just report on them!
And they just don’t make a ton of 100% New Year’s Eve movies.
But let’s roll with it and check out this list of New Year’s Eve movies that I found.
