37. Remember that studios are still funding movies made by directors such as Steven Soderbergh, Michael Mann, Cameron Crowe and Lasse Hallström.
38. Make up your own "Bad Movies We Love" list for 2001 and start with Head Over Heels, The Wedding Planner, Someone Like You and Glitter.
39. Take an aspirin for your spiked-eggnog hangover and be glad you don't have one the size of Yasmine Bleeth's.
40. Give a female friend who's not into grooming a makeover like the one Anne Hathaway received in The Princess Diaries.
41. Enjoy a getaway to Paris by seeing Amélie, which is set in the city's picturesque Montmarte district but was actually filmed all over the City of Lights.
42. Write a check to the Motion Picture and Television Fund.
43. If you're a single female, before you hit the Christmas party circuit watch some of Lauren Bacall's moves and steal some of her snappy lines from To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep.
44. If you're a single male, before you hit the Christmas party circuit watch some of Cary Grant's moves and steal some of his smooth lines from The Philadelphia Story and North by Northwest.
45. If you feel the need to do something drastic to lift your spirits, try what Madonna, Jennifer Aniston and Helen Hunt have done to lift theirs--dye your hair blonde.
46. Look up Demi Moore's, Meg Ryan's, Tom Cruise's, Cher's, Mel Gibson's and Brad Pitt's birth names and high-school yearbook pictures.
47. Send a fan letter to a veteran Hollywood great like Katharine Hepburn, Doris Day, Mickey Rooney, June Allyson, Ann Miller, Kirk Douglas, Esther Williams or Janet Leigh.
48. Do a good deed by sending Julia Roberts a copy of He's Scared, She's Scared: Understanding the Hidden Fears That Sabotage Your Relationships by Stephen Carter and Julia Sokol.
49. If you have access to one, send Charlie Sheen a time-travel machine so he can revisit the '80s, a decade he seemed to thrive in and enjoy.
50. Check out the photo below of an angelic-looking Jane Fonda, taken long before she hit Hanoi, an aerobic studio or Atlanta.
