Hey! Guess what? It’s almost New Year’s Eve and then, by proxy, 2012! How exciting is that? What the hell do we have to look forward to in the new year? Well, a potential new president, for one thing. Possibly the end of humanity… that’s something. Oh, and movies! Probably a few with a New Year’s theme, even, like the already lambasted New Year’s Eve that’s sucking at the box office as we speak. Well, what about some decent ones, for a change. Okay, here’s ten then, bossy!
10) The Poseidon Adventure
Why do we like it? Who wouldn't want to watch a giant boat sinking on New Year's while a whale-ish Shelley Winters drowns?
9) About A Boy
Why do we like it? Because Rachel Weisz is hot as hell no matter what damn day it is.
8) The Hudsucker Proxy
Why do we like it? Because combining the Coen Brothers with Sam Raimi is ALWAYS cool, regardless of the bizarre outcome.
7) Assault on Precinct 13
Why do we like it? Because, as a remake, this one has significantly more 'happens on New Year's Eve' in it. Plus, Morpheus!
6) 200 Cigarettes
Why do we like it? Christina Ricci and Gabby Hoffman in sexy attire with ridiculous Jersey accents. What more do you want?
5) Ocean’s 11
Why do we like it? Because as an original masterpiece starring the Rat Pack, you have to like it or Sinatra's ghost will have you whacked.
4) The Godfather II
Why do we like it? Because, much like The Empire Strikes Back, this sequel is far superior to the original. Also Robert De Niro will have you whacked!
3) When Harry Met Sally
Why do we like it? Billy Crystal is a stitch! Oh, and the greatest orgasm-scene-that-wasn't in cinema history!
2) Trading Places
Why do we like it? Four words: Topless. Jamie. Lee. Curtis.
1) Four Rooms
Why do we like it? Because seeing Tim Roth run around like a lunatic in a hotel trying to appease numerous guests is awesome! And Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino... that's why.
