8 Movie New Year Moments | If You're Having A Party, Don't Invite Pranksters 8 Movie New Year Moments
If You're Having A Party, Don't Invite Pranksters
The Gold Rush (1925)

The table's set, the candles are lit and there's a chicken roasting deliciously in the oven. But where are the guests? Oh yes, they ‘forgot' to come. It turns out the beautiful Georgia and her fellow dancing girls only accepted as a joke. So with Auld Lang Syne echoing in the distance, Charlie Chaplin's crestfallen Little Tramp, duped but still hopeful, learns the hard way that a tasty chicken and a solid guest list counts for nothing in the face of a half-arsed practical joke. The ladies, for their part, miss out on a party trick involving high-kicking bread rolls that's so awesome it could partner up with John Sergeant and still win Strictly Come Dancing.

Ever dance with a big statue by the pale moonlight ? Love the Ghostbuster scene (except the baby's possession part...). Well ok, it's very similar to the Stay Puft moment...But hey ! It's Jackie Wilson on stereo ! Read More

I love the Forrest Gump NYE scene with Lt Dan defending Forrest when the hookers call him stupid. Very touching moment as it's the first point at which it's hinted Lt Dan might not entirely hate Forrest. Read More
