New Year's Movies for People Who Hate New Year's Movies

New Year’s Eve has a very specific vibe—anticipation, chaos, regret, hope, and the feeling that something is about to end or begin. In this episode, I break down a New Year’s movie watchlist that captures that energy perfectly, even when the movies aren’t technically “New Year’s films.” From Ghostbusters II and its supernatural countdown, to the millennial anxiety of Strange Days, to the chaotic capitalism of Trading Places, these films understand the psychology of the year’s final night. We also dive into anthology chaos with Four Rooms, apocalyptic fear with End of Days, and the surprisingly existential comfort of Happy New Year, Charlie Brown and Rudolph’s Shiny New Year. If you’re looking for a New Year’s watchlist that’s weird, dark, nostalgic, and oddly meaningful—this one’s for you. #NewYearsMovies #NewYearsEve #MovieWatchlist #OffbeatHolidayMovies #CultClassicMovies #Y2KMovies #ApocalypseFilms #HolidayMovies -_______________________________________________________________________________ Timestamps 0:00 ⏳ Intro 1:58 👻 Ghostbusters II: Saving the World Before Midnight 3:03 📼 Strange Days: Y2K Panic & Future Fear 4:52 💸 Trading Places: Capitalism Crashes the Party 5:49 🛎️ Four Rooms: Midnight Chaos Unleashed 7:06 🔥 End of Days: When the Apocalypse Shows Up
