Are there movies you watch religiously on certain days?

[Member-222782]

In short, no. I can watch a horror-themed Christmas movie in August and not feel the slightest bit odd doing so. I enjoy watching Summer-themed movies in January as well as during actual Summer - makes no difference to me. Only thing that I may do is prefer to watch slow-burn horror films set during Winter when the weather outside my window is cool and crisp. But I won't hesitate to watch them during a heat wave in July.

May 25 - Star Wars
July 4 - Jaws
Oct 31 - Night of the Living Dead, one of the Halloween series, Wolf Man
Friday the 13th - try to watch a few of those

That's it mostly, I don't care much for Christmas but will maybe watch Lord of the Rings then if I'm home. Not sure why, just became something for me.

How can nobody have mentioned THE POSEIDON ADVENTURE for New Year's Eve? I've watched it a couple of times on that night over the years.

Kenneth Branagh also directed two wonderful little indie films that are centered around holidays that I like to watch on those holidays:

Christmas Eve: IN THE BLEAK MIDWINTER (aka A MIDWINTER'S TALE)
New Year's Eve: PETER'S FRIENDS

I''ve watched each of them many times on those nights.

November 5th in the UK is Guy Fawkes Day, so V For Vendetta would be a more appropriate choice for people living there.

I have too. The original Ocean's 11 with the Rat Pack is another one I've watched on New Years.

Halloween: either Halloween ( 1978) and/ or Halloween III
Thanksgiving: Planes, Trains and Automobiles
Christmas Eve : It’s a Wonderful Life and/ or It Happened On 42nd Street

I haven’t thought of this before, but for July 4th : Mr. Smith Goes to Washington would be good to add.

[Axl Rose]

Planes, Trains & Automobiles on Thanksgiving.
A Christmas Story on Christmas, which is a family tradition.

[UltraMario9]

New Years Eve: End of Days
Halloween: Halloween, Halloween III, A Nightmare on Elm Street
November 5th: V For Vendetta
Christmas Eve: Die Hard, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

Not for me. V revolves completely around November 5. And it's one of my favorite movies.

[Arch Stanton]

December 23rd - Eyes Wide Shut
March 17th - The Quiet Man (St. Paddy's Day)

[MJD64]

The 21st of April...The Fog, baby, The Fog!!

[Bobbyjoe766]

THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE (1974) every summer.

[mikey horror]

I always start my weeks vacation from work with The 'burbs.

[sandman slim]

Several already mentioned, plus Strange Days every New Year's Eve (takes place on Dec. 30 & 31).

Also, I try to do an April Ape-fest every year: all the Planet of the Apes movies, plus the original King Kong & Peter Jackson's remake. Cheesy idea probably (April, Ape-ril), but any excuse to rewatch a favorite, right?

[HD Goofnut]

We watch the holiday Peanuts films during the respective holidays. I also make sure to watch Groundhog Day every year on the holiday.

Yes. I'll try to watch at least 1-4 but I'm hoping I can squeeze 5 and 6 into it as well.

[Poya]

Every December 14, I watch Raging Bull. It showed me what cinema can really accomplish.

[KillaCam]
