New Year's eve movie or TV boxset recommendations, please, to save my New Year

Just that. Have craply failed to organise going out for New Year so looking for a really good film or possibly a TV show to binge-watch tonight.

Me and my dh who will be joining me in a night in front of the telly with a drink have very different tastes in film and TV; however we can both agree on liking e.g. the following:

The Full Monty
4 Weddings
Room With a View
Amelie
The Life of Brian
Paddington 1 & 2

So comedy/rom com would be good - can be quirky/indie. Or foreign movies would be good too - French, Italian, German etc. etc. He likes films with explosions - I don't. No sci-fi or murder please. No superheroes.

Or if it's TV, we both love:
The IT Crowd
Derry Girls
um...

Any suggestions, please, to save my New Year? 🙂

If you want a funny TV show to fill the gap before or after the film can I suggest Black Books, Spaced or the Goes Wrong Show.

They always lift my mood.

Thank you! Pride and About Time neck and neck, currently, unless anyone has any other dark horse suggestions to come in on? 🙂

After a recommendation on here, Untouchable on Netflix was fabulous. If you can get past it being French with subtitles it’s definitely worth a watch, probably the most enjoyable movie we have watched this year.

We really enjoyed Raiders of Justice last night. It's a Danish film which has a hint of action to it but has so much more depth and humour than a standard Hollywood film.

Thanks, just finished watching Pride - great recommendation! Still wiping away (happy) tears now... ❤

And lots of other ideas for another time too!

Thanks all and happy New Year! 🙂
