Forrest Gump’s New Year’s Eve Party
User @keystonepress1 notes that starting “Forrest Gump” (1994) at exactly 10:38:57 p.m. on December 31 will lead you to celebrate the New Year with Forrest (Tom Hanks) and Lt. Dan (Gary Sinise) in the movie.
“Forrest Gump” can be streamed on Paramount+ and Fubo.
Tell Sally you love her in ‘When Harry Met Sally’
@meladramars points out that starting Rob Reiner’s “When Harry Met Sally” (1987) at exactly 10:30:28 p.m. will perfectly sync up with the midnight countdown in the film and real life. See Meg Ryan react in real-time to Billy Crystal’s profession of love in the iconic New Year’s Eve party scene.
Sing “Auld Lang Syne” in ‘The Apartment’
See Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine in a love-hate relationship around New Year’s Eve. @likeleylines says on X that if you start the 1960 Best Picture winner “The Apartment” at exactly 9:58:00 p.m., you can see Shirley MacLaine’s Fran Kubelik flee Fred MacMurray at a New Year’s Eve party during a rendition of “Auld Lang Syne” to be with Jack Lemmon’s Bud Baxter.
“The Apartment” is free to stream on Tubi.
See Sue’s New Year’s Show in ‘The Substance’
@ashotmagazine points out that if you start watching 2024’s horror-thriller ‘The Substance’ at 9:55:26PM, you’ll experience Demi Moore’s alter ego’s (Margaret Qualley) New Year’s Eve special in the movie at exactly midnight.
Fair warning, it’s a bloody good show.
“The Substance” is available to stream on Amazon Prime Video with a subscription.
