The year was 2002.
I introduced my girls to what would be our New Year’s Eve tradition for years to come: Watching 200 Cigarettes while wearing party hats and drinking sparkling grape juice in plastic champagne glasses.
200 Cigarettes is a 1999 indy film produced by MTV (rated R) starring Courtney Love, Ben Affleck, Casey Affleck, Gaby Hoffman, Christina Ricci, Marth Plimpton, Paul Rudd, Janeane Garofalo, Dave Chapelle, Kate Hudson, and Jay Mohr.
The film is summarized by IMDb as “a collection of twentysomethings trying to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire, and their individual neuroses”.
WARNING: The clip has adult language
Even with my girls living on their own, we all still hold up our tradition and we text each other that we’re watching the movie. It’s sad that we’re not watching it together, but I love that we all still keep up with our quirky tradition.
Do you have a movie that you watch every year? What traditions do you have for New Years eve?

It’s not a GREAT movie, but it has some funny lines, and the cast work so well together. Even Courtney Love is a likeable character. 🙂 ❤

I like it because it’s not a cutesy romance movie. I hate those so much. Let me know if you watch it and like it!
