Another year of film has come and gone, and with 2022 about to be a thing of the past, many are looking forward to what 2023 has to offer, hoping that the days of COVID-causing months-long delays are (finally) over. And while it’s always fun to anticipate long-awaited projects and discover new favourites, it’s also nice to reminisce and see which films are celebrating milestones in the next 365 days, including Jurassic Park, Die Hard, 2001, Vertigo and Steamboat Willie, which will be turning the big 9-5 this year.
