Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) is ready for her closeup in the 1950 classic Sunset Boulevard

2025 marks the anniversaries of many films that are worth remembering for various reasons. Below, you’ll find a list of well over 200 of them.

Some are award-winning classics, like Rebecca and The Philadelphia Story (both from 1940 and celebrating 85 years); All About Eve and Sunset Boulevard (both from 1950 and celebrating 75 years); The Sound of Music (from 1965 and celebrating 60 years), and One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (from 1975 and celebrating 50 years).

Some are legendary blockbusters, like Jaws (the first summer blockbuster, from 1975 and celebrating 50 years); The Empire Strikes Back (from 1980 and celebrating 45 years); Back to the Future (from 1985 and celebrating 40 years); Ghost and Home Alone (both from 1990 and celebrating 35 years); and Toy Story (from 1995 and celebrating 30 years).

Some are Disney favorites, like Pinocchio and Fantasia (both from 1940 and celebrating 85 years), Cinderella (from 1950 and celebrating 75 years) and Lady and the Tramp (from 1955 and celebrating 70 years).

Some featured the film debuts of beloved cartoon characters, like Betty Boop (95 years ago, in 1930); Tom and Jerry, Woody Woodpecker and Bugs Bunny (85 years ago, in 1940); and Casper the Friendly Ghost (80 years ago, in 1945). Others featured the film debuts of soon-to-be-iconic stars, including Marlon Brando (75 years ago, in 1950’s The Men) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (55 years ago in Hercules in New York).

There are also cult favorites, films of cultural importance, movies with great soundtracks, movies that are so bad they’re good and other titles that I have just generally liked or that have sounded cool to me over the years.

The list covers films from the 80-year span between 1925-2005, in five-year increments; premiere dates reflect the day a film either had its premiere or opened in wide release in the U.S. unless otherwise indicated.

With his right hand, he is pointing at the watch and looking up somewhat disapprovingly. In large letters above him and slightly to the viewer's right, reads: "No one ... BUT NO ONE ... Will Be Admitted to the Theater After the Start of Each Performance of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho."

poster for the 1975 movie "Cleopatra Jones and the Casino of Gold." It is a vertical poster, with a somewhat psychedelic illustration beneath the movie's title treatment at top. Dominating the illustration is a depiction of star Tamara Dobson as the title character, with her back to the viewer but turning to her left to look. In her left hand she is carrying a machine gun; in her right a knife. To her right are illustrations of other characters and scenes from the movie, including Stella Stevens as the villain. To Dobson's left reads: "6 ft. 2 in. of Dynamite Explodes Into Action." Below the illustration are the credits and copyright info.
