At this point most people have blown up the Death Star or dropped Hans Gruber at midnight. But I think there are some car themed movies we can sync up with a climactic ending moment worthy of a new year. Some ideas:
The Wraith - when Packard gets blown up at the end
Hooper - When Burt Reynolds hits the button
Fury Road - when Immortan Joe gets his face ripped off
Road Warrior - when Wez gets annihilated by Humongous
The Car (1977) - blowing up the car
Maximum Overdrive - blowing up the Green Goblin
I know there are more.
If you start Dr. Strangelove at 10:32:40pm, the bomb will go off right at midnight.
Darwin: Not automotive, but it is a damn good one!
How about Selma and Louise going of a cliff in a T-bird: (make it arching drop)
Which ending of Vanishing Point do you time with midnight?
One of the first New Year's Eves that I remember as a little kid, we watched It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!
Lot's of interesting car stuff in there, and a great cast of old timers.

I fully intend to watch Mad, Mad World this year. There is no better way to ring in the new year.
Mad Cubed World is awesome - watch this one - it's similar.
I'd time F&F so the last race ends at midnight:
or maybe so the charger hits the semi right at midnight
