New Year’s Day is that one day of the year you get away with nursing a hangover. How about you do it with some of the best movies of the time of year?

You celebrated all night long and saw in the New Year. Now it’s time to nurse the hangover. New Year’s Day is when you just want to sit back and put on a trashy movie, right?

More from Movies on Amazon

Well, maybe not overly trashy. And sometimes you want something that is suitable for the whole family. It’s the day to be lazy with everyone else and just enjoy TV. You can do that with this selection of movies.

There is something for all. If you need a good rom-com, you’re covered. Want a comedy or a parody movie? Yep, there’s something for you! And then there are the family-friendly movies that will keep the kids quiet for hours.

This list has movies from a mixture of sources on Amazon. While there are some available with your Prime Video membership, there are others you’ll need to rent or buy to watch and some that you’ll need access to one of the Amazon Channels. I like to offer something for all budgets and preferences.

Here are five movies to watch on Amazon on New Year’s Day.
