Swap FOMO with JOMO this New Year’s Eve as you bring in 2024 by streaming 5 evergreen classics on OTT
Dec 30, 2023
5 films to watch as part of a movie marathon at home on New Year’s Eve 2023
One can never tire of watching this Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan film. No matter how many times you watch this 1989 classic, it never fails to warm the cockles of your heart. The chance encounter, friendship, and love between Harry and Sally are a treat to watch. So, go ahead and treat yourself to this timeless classic this NYE.
This is another movie that is right up there, along with When Harry Met Sally, when it comes to making you feel all fuzzy inside. The chemistry between Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan in this rom-com is so real and believable, with none of the sexual undercurrent that we’ve grown used to watching. Just pure emotions and unadulterated romance that will have you smiling into 2024.
Although there were many sequels and a spinoff, none of them came close to the brilliance of Ocean’s Eleven. George Clooney, Brad Pitt, and Matt Damon together in the same frame is enough to make a film worth watching, but add a plot with several twists and turns and an ensemble cast with some of the best names in Hollywood and you have a masterpiece that is unparalleled. This heist film is packed with quality humour and some top-class performances. Watching Ocean’s Eleven is never a bad idea.
Bridget Jones's Diary was released at a time when there were very few representations of single women in the mainstream. And fewer with a female lead who was far from the glossy, perfect heroine. Here was a real woman—chaotic, crude, messy, and funny! No better trio can keep you company as you ring in 2024 than Renée Zellweger as Bridget, and Colin Firth and Hugh Grant as her polar opposite but equally desirable love interests. This is chick flick at its finest.
Round up the movie marathon with Will Smith’s The Pursuit of Happyness, because what better way to welcome a new year than with an inspirational tale of hope and standing tall against all odds? You will never root harder for a leading man than you will for Chris Gardner (played by Will Smith). The powerful story, stellar performances and emotional depth will make you smile and cry.
