subject: Best New Year Movies To Watch On Your Ipad [print this page]
Maybe the best part of the New Year holiday is to have the whole family sit down and enjoy the New Year movies together with the iPad's wide screen. But which movies are the best for the New Year holiday? To help you get that special feeling, we have pulled together a list of the best New Year movies that you would love to watch on your new iPad this holiday.
The Adventures of Robin Hood
For many people, Errol Flynn's Robin is the only Robin with the following reason. Beautiful, athletic and charismatic, he completely embodies the Sherwood Forest outlaw, while Olivia de Havilland is a touching, beautiful Maid Marian, their chemistry is palpable. Big, colorful and romantic, this unequaled swashbuckler is a classic in every way and a great film to usher in the New Year.
Four Weddings and a Funeral
This is the movie that made a star out of Hugh Grant. Mike Newell's 'FWAAF' follows a diverse group of friends and their romantic entanglements, incorporating dry humor, yearning romance and a bit of poignance (the funeral). Grant's patented witty/bumbling persona was perfected here and Andie MacDowell is a solid foil (not unlike in 'Groundhog Day'). This is really a lovely way to spend a movie evening.
Bridget Jones's Diary
It takes all year for Bridget Jones (Renee Zellweger at her most endearing) to realize that pompous jerk Mark Darcy (Colin Firth) is actually Mr. Right. Too bad he finds her diary before they get things started and reads entry after entry about how "rude, unpleasant and dull" he is. When he runs out into the snow, she runs after him, wearing little more than her leopard-print undies. But it's a happy ending after all as he reveals he was merely buying her a new diary, so she could start the year off fresh. We'd say a kiss in the snow (in front of scandalized old ladies) is a pretty perfect way to begin.
The School of Rock
Jack Black may have his detractors, but he nailed the role of failed rocker-turned-music teacher Dewey Finn in Richard Linklater's highly entertaining, hard-rocking and (yes) completely uplifting movie. Great characters, realistic kid actors and a true respect for the power of rock made this a surprise hit earlier in the decade. It is a great confidence-booster and a ton of fun.
Sex and the City: The Movie
While nearly everyone ends up happily ever after romance-wise, this big-screen adventure was, just like the series, more a celebration of true friendship than anything else. Take this scene, in which Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) journeys across town in the freezing snow to surprise Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) on New Year's Eve. Carrie arrives just as the ball drops in Times Square and the two stay up talking and laughing long into the morning. If that's not a Happy New Year, we don't know what is.
