Okay, so the Easter Holiday is coming up. Instead of celebrating by painting eggs and spending the day with as much in-laws as you can stand, why not just lock yourself away and watch The Passion of the Christ this Easter Sunday?
And Saving Private Ryan come May 29th.
What are some other movies we can designate days for? let’s get creative…
Scare yourself on February 14 with Valentine.
Overnight April 14-15, stretch out for a viewing of Titanic.
January 12th = 2001: A Space Odyssey
I think Passion of the Christ is better suited to Friday. Save Sunday to watch Harvey.
December 7th = Pearl Harbor
April 26th (Secretaries Day, or Administrative Professionals Day) = 9 to 5
The slasher films (ala Leprechaun for 3/17) could fill an entire thread. But bearing in mind the OP says ‘let’s get creative…’
Thank You For Smoking / Barbarians At The Gate double feature: November 17th
Planet of the Apes: July 6th
Manchurian Candidate: August 19th
Starship Troopers: October 24th
April 14[sup]th[/sup]: Apollo 13
Alright, Here’s what we have so far:
I forgot to mention, if you’re being particularly creative or obtuse… feel free to offer an explanation 
Such as: January 12th is the day HAL 9000 became operational. But I don’t need to tell you geeks that.
Ooops… click on "View: All " to see all the movies for the year.
Agreed.
February 2: Groundhog Day (Duh.)
I got another:
November 5 = Back to the Future. The day that Marty arrived in 1955. It was either that or Oct 26 (1985), the day he departed.
December 3[sup]rd[/sup]: The Hunt for Red October
March 20: Soylent Green
Thanksgiving:
Planes, Trains, and Automobiles
Alice’s Restaurant
What’s Cooking?
I’d go with T,P, & A as the quintessential Thanksgiving movie.
The Longest Day on June 6th.
I wonder if we can designate a movie for every day of the year (with no overlaps)?
So far, 19 out of 365… got a ways to go. S’keep ‘em comin’!
I have no doubt the task could be easily done.
But, what may be confusing is the fact your OP implies a film should tie back to a holiday (i.e. Solyent Green on Meat Out Day) and a couple of your selections (i.e. Back to the Future & Space Odyssey) don’t have any relationship to a holiday on their given day.

Good point. The holiday association was a mere short-sightedness on my part… now I can look upon this thread and see it’s true potential. Let’s make all the days a Movie Holiday. Besides, we can still have it both ways: 1492: Conquest of Paradise on Oct 9th. And We’ll get the obvious out of the way… Halloween on Oct 31st.
