Movies that feel like Last Night (1998)
Various citizens of Toronto anxiously await the end of the world, which is occurring at the stroke of midnight on New Year's Day.
If you loved Last Night, the closest films we have are The Invite (2026), The Rules of the Game (1939) and A New Leaf (1971). All three share Last Night's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.
Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Late Marriage (2001).

Looking for the series itself? Also in this series: Last Night in Soho (2021)
Common ground: satire
One thread runs through both: dark comedy
Takes it somewhere less tender than Last Night does
The same mix in both: wit, then play
Both are built on the same subject: satire
Both land romance and tenderness at once
Contemplative and darkly funny in the same breath
The same preoccupation in both: parents and children
The critics' underdog of the pair
One thread runs through both: chaos
Leans harder into science fiction than Last Night does
Both keep coming back to the same thing: parents and children
Witty comedy, and it commits to that
Romance with a pulse of play, in both cases
