What's your favorite New Year's Eve / New Year's Day film?

There are a LOT of films that are either set on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day, and many more that feature scenes set around New Year's.

If I had to pick one film that's set on New Year's Eve/Day as a favorite, I'd probably go with The Poseidon Adventure (the original, natch).

As for movies with NYE/D scenes in them, I'm really partial to Sunset Blvd.'s New Year's scene.

What are your favorites?

I think New Years is a bore and I've watched that stupid ball drop for decades with lame ass performances so I decided to watch a movie instead.

I started Back to the Future at 10:19. When the clock struck midnight the lightning bolt hit the clock tower sending Marty and us into the future. My wife and girls were actually clapping. It was pretty fun. I had it timed perfectly.

This would be something pretty cool to do. Now I wish this thread was started sooner so I could've repeated this.
