15 Movie Anniversaries In 2025 That Are Making Me Feel So Old

Every year, some famous movie turns 50 years old or 25 years old, reminding you that you’re getting older. 1999 was one of the best years in movie history, and a lot of great films celebrated their 25th anniversary last year. But I couldn’t help but feel old when The Mummy, one of the most perfect non-animated action movies to watch as kids, turned 25. Mean Girls celebrating two decades since its release with the release of the musical movie was another instance that made me realize just how fast time flies.

Nothing makes me feel older than realizing that the first ever Star Wars movie will turn 50 a couple of years from now. It’s surreal to think that the Force, Luke Skywalker, the Millennium Falcon, Han Solo, lightsabers, Princess Leia, stormtroopers, Darth Vader, and Obi-Wan have been a part of pop culture for nearly half a century. 2025 is no exception to this phenomenon either, with Andrei Tarkovsky’s Mirror turning 50, The Breakfast Club — one of the best feel-good movies of the 1980s — turning 40, and Toy Story turning 30.

Charlie Chaplin rose to fame during the silent era of Hollywood with his unique brand of slapstick humor that he used to satirically address social evils. Chaplin is famous for playing The Tramp, who recurs in many of his long-form comedy sketches.

From his creation of the Tramp to the triumphant of The Great Dictator, Charlie Chaplin was among cinema’s most iconic and insightful comedians.

Posts

Written, directed, produced, and edited by Chaplin, The Gold Rush sounds like a tragedy of misfortunes from its plot. However, Chaplin uses comedy to undercut the tension and hilariously poke fun at the system that makes The Tramp miserable. I know he’s a legend of old, but it’s mind-blowing to realize The Gold Rush is a century old.

The unreliability of eyewitness accounts is known as the Rashomon Effect, and the name for this phenomenon has become rather common in today’s lingo. Yet, though the term has been around for long enough to become a natural part of the language, it feels wild to think that 75 years have passed since Akira Kurosawa’s film was released. One of the most essentially perfect legal dramas in movie history, Rashomon presents various eyewitness accounts of the murder of a samurai to explore how unreliable such reports can often be.

The beautiful 2D hand-drawn animation gives the characters a specialized flair and their sassy ways have become iconic among Disney fans. It’s almost impossible to believe that the film came out as long as 55 years ago.

Megamind also lives rent-free in my head, and though I’ve seen it many times, I find it hard to believe that it came out 15 years ago.

By the time I was old enough to watch, understand, and enjoy Star Wars movies, they had become a thing of the past – I could always rewatch them, read books, and watch episodes of The Clone Wars, but had no way of experiencing Star Wars in a movie theater. So, the announcement of a new Star Wars film releasing a week before Christmas 2015 left me giddy and grateful. While the sequels are probably the worst thing to happen to Star Wars, it’s still surreal to think that a decade has passed since The Force Awakens came out.
