If the snap isn’t your schtick, there are plenty of other movie options out there. Here are a few top ones to consider:
Within the MCU, there are many other great points that make for perfect New Year’s celebrations. Starting “Endgame” at 9:41:34 p.m. will give you Captain America’s (Chris Evans) “Avengers, assemble!” line at the stroke of 12. Starting “The Avengers” at 10:07:51 p.m. will bring you to the first actual circle of assembled Avengers at midnight. And if you want to be literal — and work on a much shorter timeline — you can start “Iron Man 3” at 11:55:50 p.m. and end up celebrating the New Year at the same moment that it begins in the movie.
If you’re interested in branching out from Marvel’s cinematic universe, the options quite literally become endless. A couple of the best to keep in mind? You can start “Star Wars: A New Hope” at 10:02:42 p.m. to watch the biggest firework of them all — the Death Star — explode at 12. And if epic fantasy is your preference, fire up the theatrical version of “The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” at 9:46:22 p.m. to start the New Year with Théoden’s (Bernard Hill) legendary line, “So it begins.” As an added bonus, if watching the extended editions is your jam, start the movie at 9:09:37 p.m.
Happy New Year, everyone!
