New Year’s Movie Marathon: New Year's Resolution Movies

We all have our goals, our New Year’s Resolutions. This year we’ll work out every day, this year we’ll stop eating the entire pie in one sitting, we’ll take longer than three months to finish a book, we’ll stop smoking (hint hint Shaun), and we’ll stop spending money on shoes. Well we’ll try at least. So, what a better way to start than to find inspiration in those people on screen trying to do the same, with some even succeeding. So, whether you are living vicariously through these characters or laughing at their failures, seeing your future unfold across the screen, here’s a helpful list of titles. So watch them all if you wish or just scroll down the list and find the appropriate title for your resolution {resolutions (goals) for each movie are provided under each title}. This list also serves as lovely time filler for an uneventful New Year’s Eve. Hope everyone has a great one.
