Sleepless in Seattle, 1993
When it comes to heart-wrenching romantic films, nothing quite compares to Sleepless in Seattle. Norah Ephron really makes a point of showcasing just how lonely bringing in the New Year can be when you’re alone with this film. Iconic 90s film stars Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan do an excellent job of portraying all of the necessary emotions…

There are quite a few holiday themes throughout the film. However, there is one scene where Tom Hanks somehow encounters his deceased wife on New Year’s Eve that earns this film’s place on the list. He imagines having one last encounter with her before he allows himself to fully move on and be with someone else.
