Eurotrip (2004)

The Movie Hangover: Our gang of teen travellers try to pull themselves together after overdoing the absinthe in a Bratislavian club.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Twins Jenny (Michelle Trachtenberg) and Jamie (Travis Wester) have to deal with not only the hangover from hell, but the knowledge that they indulged in a horrifying bit of twincest the previous night and drunkenly snogged.

Family reunions are never going to be the same.

Leaving Las Vegas (1995)

The Movie Hangover: Not all on-screen hangovers are hilarious.

Ben (Nicolas Cage) heads to Sin City with the sole intention of drinking himself to death in Mike Figgis's dark drama.

  • Matt Damon as Odysseus in The Odyssey 5 films you didn't know were inspired by The Odyssey
  • Cillian Murphy as Tommy in Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. The 25 best movies on Netflix to watch right now

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Ben's alcoholism means that hangovers don't get the chance to stick around for very long before he's quashing them with more drink, and watching him slowly destroy himself makes for a painfully uncomfortable movie.

Old School (2003)

The Movie Hangover: It's hangovers galore when three grown men attempt to party like frat boys in this laugh-out-loud Todd Phillips caper.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Mitch (Luke Wilson) may wake up next to a gorgeous college student (Elisha Cuthbert), but his hook-up seems less of a laugh once he's discovered she's actually in high school.

And his boss's daughter. Gulp.

Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows (2011)

The Movie Hangover: Watson (Jude Law) arrives at his own nuptials unconscious, bruised and surrounded by empty bottles.

Never has a groom looked so ruined. It can only have been a night with Holmes (Robert Downey Jr.).

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Watson is woken from his heavy slumber by the gentle sound of wedding bagpipes, and the realisation of what's ahead of him creeps slowly over his face.

Hancock (2008)

The Movie Hangover: The world's slackest superhero suffers from a veritable orgy of bad hangovers - the man tries to do good, but thanks to his fuzzy head just ends up becoming a very strong, very fast flying nuisance.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: The guy has superhuman hearing. We're pretty sure that leads to one nasty headache.

School Of Rock (2003)

The Movie Hangover: Dewey (Jack Black) finds himself with a classroom full of pre-teens and a headache that just will not lift as he attempts to successfully impersonate roommate and substitute teacher Ned Schneebly .

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Dewey's attempts to gain sympathy from the kiddies fall on deaf ears, and the barrage of questions begin:

"Doesn't that mean you're drunk?"

Garden State (2004)

The Movie Hangover: Ever woken up on a sofa in a strange house with no recollection of how you got there?

After returning to his family home for his mother's funeral, introverted actor Andrew Largeman (Zach Braff) finds himself downing beer (not to mention the ecstasy) at a wild party. Cut to a confused wake-up scene.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Largeman soon discovers that his body grafitti isn't confined to his face. Shame he had to discover that in the doctor's office.

Very Bad Things (1998)

The Movie Hangover: The movie that makes Mike Tyson's tiger problem seem like a breeze gives us a bachelor party that takes a seriously dark turn.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Having to deal with the aftermath of Michael (Jeremy Piven) accidentally killing stripper Tina (Kobe Tai).

Let's just say that this one isn't so easy to clean up as the bodies just keep on piling up.

Dumbo (1941)

The Movie Hangover: Little Dumbo wakes up after inadvertently drinking a bottle of champagne and finds himself high up a tree with buddy Timothy (Edward Brophy) and not the faintest idea of how he ended up there.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: He's only a baby - no-one under the age of sixteen should have to deal with a nasty hangover.

Who's Afraid Of Virginia Woolf? (1966)

The Movie Hangover: Welcome to the morning after the most volatile and vicious dinner party in the history of cinema. Warring married couple George (Richard Burton) and Martha (Elizabeth Taylor) find themselves facing their problems in the cold, sobering light of day.

Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Thanks to the sheer volume of atrocities (screaming fights, infidelities, death threats) that took place the night before, it's got to be one of the worst. Shudder.
