Christmas may be over, but there’s still one major holiday left in 2023: New Year’s Eve. Unlike most holidays, New Year’s Eve is a day and night filled with non-stop partying. That usually involves getting dressed up, buying some alcohol or food (or at least some Ring Dings and Pepsi), and enduring the crush of crowds as they say goodbye to 2023 and hello to 2024.
Digital Trends has a different party in mind: a movie party. Why go out when you can stay home, log in to your Netflix subscription, and hang out with cool people like Timothée Chalamet, Julia Roberts, or Jennifer Lawrence? The following list includes films from genres like sci-fi, thrillers, and comedies, and boasts new titles just released and classics from the ’80s and ’90s. It’s the perfect way to celebrate New Year’s Eve, and it’s pretty cheap, too.

No Hard Feelings (2023)


Already longing for the summer? The best way to relive the sunny season is through Jennifer Lawrence and Netflix. One of the funniest summer comedies released last year was No Hard Feelings. The movie focuses on Maddie Barker (Lawrence), who, on the verge of losing her childhood home after neglecting to pay property taxes, accepts an offer from a wealthy couple to deflower their introverted teenage son Percy (Andrew Barth Feldman, new to movies but a Broadway veteran).
Yes, No Hard Feelings is bawdy and more than earns its R rating, but it’s also surprisingly sweet and, at times, touching. Lawrence has good chemistry with Feldman, and the bittersweet ending will make you feel great as you welcome in 2024.
The Killer (2023)


One of 2023’s best movies was David Fincher’s noir thriller The Killer, starring two-time Oscar nominee Michael Fassbender and Oscar winner Tilda Swinton. The plot follows the titular character, who embarks on an international manhunt following a botched hit in Paris.
Cool and stylish, The Killer is for action movie fans who enjoyed John Wick: Chapter 4 or any of Fincher’s past works like Se7en or Zodiac. Fassbender shines as the titular assassin, whose deadpan delivery gives the movie a nice comedic kick. Unexpectedly, bitingly funny, and savage, and offering the kind of electrifying moments that make action movies truly timeless, The Killer will surely become a modern classic.
Field of Dreams (1989)
