Are there a bunch of these, and I just can't think of any? The only one that comes to mind is When Harry Met Sally.

Aren;t there quite a lot of disaster/saving the world type films which have their denouements in Times Square at midnight? I can't think of any off the top of my head, but those films were how most people outside of the US got to know that there is something that happens there that night

Another vote for the Poseidon Adventure here. In my family we still say "Happy NOO year", from the fillum. Which it would seem we saw in the cinema en famille when it came out. In 1972. When I was 5.Last edited by DCI Harry Batt; 29-12-2020, 12:12.

Yeah, but if you read the first line carefully, you'll see they only list films set around New Year of the Gregorian calendar.
Let's have some examples of films set around the Julian calendar, people.
More seriously, it's a very focused on English language films. I bet there are shedloads of films in other languages which fit the bill.

Yes, I guessed that the "Gregorian calendar" thing was a nod to the different "new years" of various non-Western/non-Christian cultures. I was being facetious because I thought it was a funny way of putting it, as "Gregorian" is usually expressing a distinction from "Julian" rather than a distinction from Chinese, Jewish or whatever. Edit: I mean, I dare say "Gregorian" is the best, because most concise, unambiguous, neutral etc. way of putting it. It just seemed a bit funny.Last edited by Evariste Euler Gauss; 29-12-2020, 14:02.

There's Phantom Thread, End of Days and Happy New Year Charlie Brown
The first London scene in the Fourth Protocol takes place on New Year's Eve
The train part of Trading Places takes place on New Year's Eve
When I was a kid there were a couple of years when The Ipcress Film was the first film on BBC 1 after midnight on New Year's Eve so I always count that as a New Year's Eve film.
