A new year has begun, so, as I have been doing for the past several years, I shall make a thread that shall make me and people my age feel old, specifically, by mentioning anniversaries of famous movies.
I did some research, and I learned that quite a large number of historically-significant movies are celebrating anniversaries, this year, so let me begin.
This year (2019) is the 10th anniversary of Avatar, Transformers 2, Terminator Salvation, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Star Trek (2009), A Christmas Carol (2009), The Princess and the Frog.
2019 is the 15th anniversary of The Incredibles, Shrek 2, The Polar Express, The Village, Spider-Man 2, Saw, National Treasure, Van Helsing, The Phantom of the Opera (2004), The Punisher (2004).
2019 is the 20th anniversary of The Matrix, Fight Club, The Blair Witch Project, The Green Mile, Star Wars, Episode I: The Phantom Menace, The Iron Giant, The Sixth Sense, The Mummy (1999), Toy Story 2, Office Space, Galaxy Quest, The World is Not Enough, End of Days.
2019 is the 25th anniversary of The Lion King, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump, The Mask, The Shawshank Redemption, Timecop, Speed, Clerks, Richie Rich, The Pagemaster, Angels in the Outfield.
2019 is the 30th anniversary of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Honey, I Shrunk the Kids, Ghostbusters II, Lethal Weapon 2, Back to the Future, Part II, Batman (1989), Disney’s The Little Mermaid, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, All Dogs Go to Heaven.
I usually do not go back in time any further than 30 years, unless mentioning a particularly significant anniversary, but 2019 is also the 35th anniversary of the first Terminator movie, which I feel is definitely worthy of being mentioned.
Some of these movies I shall discuss in their own threads, since I feel that they are worthy of such discussion.
What does everyone else say about this? What are your opinions of these movies anniversaries?

1984 was a huge year for movies, so there are a lot of 35th anniversary films worth mentioning:
And many more.
