Good movies for new years eve?
ive got a few friends coming over for new years, and need a few suggestions (they are either in high school or college and mostly male)
and rating isn't an issue
i'd like a couple comedies and a couple of action movies.

Strange Days. IIRC, that movie was set on NYE.

The criminally not-on-dvd Get Crazy, a terrific little move, is set on New Year's Eve. But you can't watch it unless you've got a TV recording or an out-of-print VHS tape.
So to keep my post from being completely irrelevant :
I kinda liked 200 Cigarettes, set on NYE, but it's pretty quirky ... not for everyone.
I haven't seen End of Days but I think the finale is set on NYE. That's a pretty mainstream action picture but I don't think it's regarded as one of Arnold's best.
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) is set on NYE. I don't know if the 1976 original is.

Strange Days if you want one about New Year's Eve, or maybe the original Ocean's Eleven.
Last year I started at 1:00PM and watched all of the LOTR EEs back to back. Had a couple of breaks, but geez!!! This year will not be the same, I hope.

2001!? For a bunch of high school / college kids!!!???
It's difficult for me to imagine anyone combining watching 2001 with staying awake until midnight, let alone a bunch of young guys.

For me its almost always been Blade Runner maybe cuz City TV here in the Toronto area always had it on at 12:05 although they havent done that for many years but i would always put on my vhs copy of it out of tradition i guess.Problem now is i dont even have a vcr and i dont like the directors cut of the movie as much as the theatrical so i had to change plans this year and i went with the Big Lebowski so maybe that will be a new tradition.
