Happy New Year from MovieFanFare!

As the world calls “Cut!” to 2024 and “Action!” to 2025, all of us here at MovieFanFare would like to extend a hearty “Happy New Year!” to our readers. We have lots of plans for the upcoming year, and we hope you’ll come along as we explore the worlds of classic and contemporary cinema, television, streaming entertainment, and pop culture. In the meantime, let’s kick off the festivities with a look at how Hollywood rang in the new year–for better or worse–in days gone by (like the black-and-white dance party from 1951’s AnĀ American in Paris above):
