Bad Santa (2003)
Never Been Kissed (1999)
The Movie Hangover: After a big, BIG night out, undercover journalist Josie (Drew Barrymore) realises that playing a teenager isn't so fun when all you want to do is pull a sickie and spend a day with your head in the toilet.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover : Determined to regain some of her dignity, Josie marches down the school corridor in last night's clothes and her head held high.
The only giveaway is that pesky club entrance stamp, tattooed on to her forehead after dodgy night's sleep. Oops.
The Holiday (2006)
The Movie Hangover: American workaholic Amanda (Cameron Diaz) goes all out Brit-style as new beau Graham (Jude Law) takes her to the pub. These Yanks just can't hold their booze.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: We tried to focus on how embarrassed poor Amanda is about her drunken antics, we really did.
But let's be honest. Jude Law takes her out for lunch. That's an excellent hangover in our minds.
21 And Over (2013)
The Movie Hangover: Taken out on the town to celebrate his twenty-first birthday, Jeff Chang (Juston Chon) gets wasted. We're talking Charlie Sheen 'bi-winning' wasted.
Shame that the next day he has a career-defining med school interview.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: His two BFFs (who single-handedly got him in to this mess in the first place) are determined to get Jeff to his meeting ontime which, unfortunately for Jeff, involves yanking off the teddy bear that two stoned students glued to his penis.
Can we get an almighty 'ouch'?!
Last Vegas (2013)
The Movie Hangover: Pensioner party animals Sam (Kevin Kline) and Archie (Morgan Freeman) discover that hangovers don't get any easier with age in director Jon Tuteltaub's geriatric comedy.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: The pair can't quite shake the feeling that the room is spinning.
They can probably thank the rotating bed for that one.
Trainspotting (1996)
The Movie Hangover: Embarrassing booze story gold, this one. Spud (Ewen Bremner) wakes up in his girlfriend's bed after a heavy night of drinking only to discover that he's made... a bit of a mess.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: We all know this one, right? His attempts to clean up after himself go oh-so-wrong when in a tussle over the soiled sheets he somehow manages to spray the breakfast table AND the faces of his in-laws with his own excrement.
There's just no coming back from that one.
Four Weddings And A Funeral (1994)
The Movie Hangover: The seemingly perpetually late (and perpetually hungover) stars of Four Weddings spend a large majority of the movie running around their dingy flat, hollering expletives and trying to find matching shoes.
We can't relate. Ahem.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: There's no space for recovery at someone else's wedding.
Only option is to get straight back on the wine and do the congo.
Project X (2012)
The Movie Hangover: High school mates Costa (Oliver Cooper), Thomas (Thomas Kub) and J.B. (Jonathan Daniel Brown) end up paying a very high price for their impromptu partying - try explaining why the entire neighbourhood is alight to your disapproving parents…
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover : The boys lose their college funds and clean criminal records, but you could argue that it was all worth it because the party was legendary and Thomas ended up with a girlfriend.
Silver linings and all that.
Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas (1998)
The Movie Hangover: Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) has a nasty shock when he wakes in his once pristine hotel room in Terry Gilliam's mind-bogglingly trippy adaptation of the Hunter S. Thompson novel.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Not only is the suite trashed, but Duke's memory has been completely wiped after two solid days of drink and drugs.
Playing back his tape recorder offers little help, but we do discover that Duke unsuccessfully attempted to buy a orangutan. As you do.
The Lost Weekend (1945)
The Movie Hangover: Liquor addict and writer Don Birnam (Ray Milland) does everything in his power to avoid the inevitable hangover, and the lengths he goes to to procure another beverage prove to be both excessive and very saddening.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Determined to get himself another drink and stave off the approaching struggle, Birnam tries to pawn his own typewriter, showing his horrible levels of alcoholic desperation.
