Finally, New Year’s Eve is one we can spend with friends and family. But if you’re anything like us, you probably don’t want to.
Let’s comfortably settle in for a cozy night without any judgement or shame. Meaning that if you’d like to ring in the new year by watching one of your favourite films; you can very easily do that.
Now, every year, you’ll see folks on the Internet sharing their suggestions of which film to watch at what time in order to synchronise the NYE countdown with an epic scene. This year is no different, and I’ve gone and found a few of the best options out there for you.
Here they are:
Celebrate the new year with Tony Stark:
If you’d like to kick off 2023 as Tony Stark celebrates his own new year in Iron Man 3, you’ll want to start the film at 11:55:50 pm.
If you start watching Iron Man 3 at exactly 11:55:50 pm on New Year’s Eve the clock in the real world will hit midnight at exactly the same time as it does in the movie, so you can celebrate the New Year with Tony Stark. pic.twitter.com/2P03ExbIGz

Start 2023 with Logan getting punched:
If you’re a Wolverine fan, consider popping Logan on at 10:20:31 pm so you can see Laura punch Logan in the face at midnight.
If you start the movie #Logan at exactly 10:20:31 PM on New Year’s Eve then Laura will punch Logan in the face at exactly midnight. #HappyNewYear (@mang0ld @DafneKeen @RealHughJackman ) pic.twitter.com/nrjM402V9O

Party with Batman:
Wanna hear ‘Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go’ at midnight? Then start The Lego Batman Movie at 10:34:58pm on New Year’s Eve.
Farewell 2020 as Tony Stark takes out Thanos:
According to Twitter, if you start Avengers: Endgame at 9:29:30pm tomorrow night, you’ll see Tony Stark snap his fingers as the new year kicks off.
If you start watching ‘Avengers: Endgame’ exactly at 9:29:30 PM this New Year’s Eve, Tony Stark will be snapping his fingers and ending Thanos, at the same time 2020 vanishes & 2021 starts.
You’ll be starting 2021 in the best way possible. pic.twitter.com/ZVLCmdgxki
