The Irony of Fate (1976)
“Every year on December 31, me and my friends go to the bathhouse,” Zhenya, the likeable hero of the tale, repeats throughout the film. In Russian minds, this phrase is forever associated, besides New Year, with a situation that might (or did) go horribly, but amusingly wrong.
The film has been shown on December 31 every year without fail since its release, keeping countless people entertained while cooking and preparing for New Year. If anyone is bored of seeing it, they haven’t said so.
