10 Movies To Watch on New Year’s Eve

Happy New Year to everyone! We are about to begin a new chapter in our life, 2021. After a challenging and rough year, I wish you all health, peace and happiness. Here are 10 movies that you can watch with your family on New Year’s Eve. I was forgetting these movies are not about New Year. I didn’t want to write down classic Christmas movies so I chose 10 movies that gave me a new perspective. Sometimes all we need to do is to have a look at the World, people and ourselves. Please enjoy your last days of 2020 and may the odds be ever in your favour this new year.

1. The Theory of Everything

‘The Theory of Everything’ is a biographical romantic drama movie, which is based on Stephen Hawking’s life. You may be wondering why I chose a biographical movie. First of all, cinematography and acting are ten out of ten. Second of all Hawking’s dedication to his passion, science, is pretty remarkable. There will be various obstacles in our way, the most important part is how we deal with them. You can just give up or get out of your comfort zone and go after your dreams. If Stephen threw in the towel, many of his theories would be unspoken and his contributions to science would be incomplete.

2. The Imitation Game- Enigma

‘The Imitation Game- Enigma’ is a historical drama movie, it is also based on a biography of Alan Turing, British mathematician and cryptanalyst. We see the backstage of Second World War and story of young scientist trying to analyse the Enigma machine. Great mathematicians around the country were chosen to decrypt the German intelligence messages, all of them were trying to do it themselves, except Turing. His mind was full of ideas and he was the only one who came up with the idea of a machine that decrypts the codes for them. Reaction to his idea was quite discouraging and he was told to desist from designing his machine. Despite disapproval of his colleagues, he worked day and night to achieve his goal. The belief in himself and also math made his dream come true. Never stop believing in yourself and chase your dreams but no one says that it is going to be easy for you.

3. Pleasantville

'Pleasantville' is a fantasy comedy-drama movie about lives coloured with changes. This movie tells us the story of two siblings who found themselves in Pleasantville, where everyone is blissful and everything happens as it is supposed to be. Pleasantville may seem like a dream but without newness, it is a really boring and predicted dream. Eventually they realised that the World and also people started to coloured up with every experience, this was the most unexpected thing in their life. This movie gives us lots of messages and wants to make us aware of reforms and how people reacted to them. The message I like the most is to be bold and let yourself feel your emotions. Your life will be pointless unless there are changes.

4. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' is a fantasy romantic drama movie. You should definetely watch this movie at some point of your life, I assure you that you won't regret it. This movie makes us look at life and time from a different angle. Its scenario is so unique that you cannot stop watching it ;)

5. Little Women

'Little Women' is a 2019 American coming-of-age period drama movie, which is based on Louise May Alcott's novel called 'Little Women'. There are a few movies based on the same book. It shows us the lovely relationship between March family and every kind of love. You should watch this movie if you would like to warm the cockles of your heart a little bit.

6. 13 Going on 30

'13 Going on 30' is a fantasy romantic comedy, it is so amusing to watch. Jenna is a 13-year-old girl and aches to be 30 years old. Her dream comes true but she isn't happy with the results because she cannot live her youth. I believe everything happens when it's time so be careful what you wish for.

7. Dead Poets Society

'Dead Poets Society' is a teen drama movie, if you haven't watched it already, you are missing an epic movie. Everyone has heard the phrase of 'carpe diem' but what it means to us, teenagers. This movie caused me to appreciate life and enjoy little things in life, hope others will, too.

8. Yesterday

'Yesterday' is a romantic comedy movie. I watched this movie with my friends at Rexx and I'm so glad that I did it. We see the story of Jack, an unsuccessful singer. One day The Beatles vanishes from the World and Jack is the only one to remember The Beatles’ songs. It's so enjoyable to watch, especially with your family and friends. Hearing different cover versions of a great band’s masterpieces and singing along is the best part of the movie, definitely cheers you up.

9. Lady Bird

‘Lady Bird’ is an American coming-of-age comedy drama movie about a high school senior, Christine. We observe a youngster trying to find her desires, personality and life goal. It focuses on the problems which teenagers struggle nowadays, it is pretty realistic. I love that the movie encourages you to discover yourself. The more we know about ourselves, the better we improve so take your time to explore yourself this year.

10. The Intern

‘The Intern’ is an American comedy, starring with Robert De Niro and Anne Hathaway. Ben Whittaker is a 70-year-old retiree and he decides to work at an online fashion website as an intern. Despite his age, he becomes very good in his job and everyone admires his hard work and dignity. It’s never late to learn new things and experience the World so I advise you to be open to new opportunities and possibilities as Ben does, even it is challenging.
