London, Europe Brief News – 2023 is almost here. For some, the promise of a new year evokes a warm and fuzzy feeling that calls for a bottle of bubbly and a night out.
For others, it’s a time for reflection that requires something more low-key—perhaps a dinner with friends and family? A night to yourself?
Here is a series of the best movies to watch during the New Year’s Eve.
1 Sleepless in Seattle
Tom Hanks plays a widower who—in one heartbreaking scene— dreams of talking to his late wife on New Year’s Eve. Don’t worry: He finds love again with Meg Ryan.
2 While You Were Sleeping
The plot of this sweet Sandra Bullock rom-com kicks off on Christmas Day, but reaches its peak on New Year’s Eve
3 When Harry Met Sally
We dare you not to cry as two unlikely friends (played by Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan) fall in love. The whole thing culminates in an emotional moment at a New Year’s Eve party.
4 Rent
Much of Rent take place between Christmas and New Year’s, but more importantly, the musical is a great film to watch either to end or start the year. It’s a good opportunity for reflection in the way the characters “remember a year in the life of friends,” as one might say.
