The film “The Apartment” by American director Billy Wilder, released in 1960, has been named the best Christmas movie by the publication The Independent. It is known that the film has received five Academy Awards out of 10 nominations. However, according to other publications, older films have competitors, and each country has its own New Year’s film.
In the United States, no one can take away the attachment to the comedy “Home Alone”. Strangely, the film is popular outside America and is in demand on other continents, despite the age of the film.
For Russian-speaking audiences, “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath” is a favorite. But, as journalists note, the focus is slowly shifting towards the comedy “Yolki”, where well-known actors joke and show viewers how to celebrate the New Year.
In the post-Soviet space, American cinema is also loved. Viewers enjoy watching Terry ZviGoff’s “Bad Santa”, released in 2003.
If you delve into the search for favorite New Year’s movies for Europeans, you might get lost, as each family has its own film that is watched only on New Year’s or Christmas.
