On the other hand, January themonthis much more critically acclaimed than its cinematic output.
With that in mind, here are six movies that perfectly embody the spirit of January.
Wild (2014)
If January is a time for reinvention and fresh starts, thenWildis January.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter / 20th Century Fox
The Hangover (2009)
New Years Day is always a mixed bag.
This can be both literal and metaphorical and in the case of your freshly acquired hangover, its literal.
In fact, did you know that New Years Day is unofficially known as National Hangover Day?
In this vein,The Hangoveris a no-brainer for this list.
This, of course, will only make sense to people living north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Selma (2014)
OK, youcanask us why this movie feels like January.
Fox Searchlight
Its because its about Martin Luther King, Jr.!
David Oyelowo shines as Dr. King and Ava DuVernays direction coaxes out every emotional beat.
The movie even earned John Legend and Common an Oscar for Best Original Song for their work on Glory.
Warner Bros.
Is it because it filled me with hope … that it could be good?
(Until I watched it?)
