Against all odds, we’ve made it to yet another year. That’s the good news. The bad news? The new year is shaping up to be very similar to the old year. With COVID cases on the rise and lockdowns on the radar once again, we think we’ve earned the right to a little escapism and indulging in cinematic nostalgia seems just the ticket. There are a host of familiar films celebrating big milestones over the next twelves months and each one gives us an excuse to take a look back every now and again. Sure realizing Titanic is a quarter-century old makes us feel positively ancient, but it’s a small price to pay for the trip down memory lane.
To make things a bit easier, we’ve pulled together a handy guide to the major 2022 movie anniversaries coming your way. Make some popcorn, get comfy and reminisce about old favourites or even check out some titles for the very first time.
