Last year was a major year for pop culture anniversaries within film, television, music, entertainment and more. Ellen DeGeneres’ iconic Oscars selfie went viral 10 years ago last March. M. Night Shyamalan’s 1999 hit film “The Sixth Sense” celebrated its 25th anniversary August. And “Friends” made its debut 30 years ago last September.
The new year promises more pop culture moments to reminisce on, including the 25th anniversary of Mary Harron’s 2000 satirical horror flick “American Psycho.” Based on the 1991 novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film adaptation stars Christian Bale as the villainous antihero Patrick Bateman — a Wall Street yuppie who leads a secret life as a serial killer. “American Psycho” later inspired a 2002 direct-to-video sequel directed by Morgan J. Freeman and starring Mila Kunis in the main role, and acclaimed director Luca Guadagnino (“Call Me By Your Name,” “Challengers”) is working on a remake of the original.
Other notable anniversaries to keep an eye out for include the 10th anniversary of Caitlyn Jenner’s Vanity Fair cover, which made headlines shortly after its publication; the 20th birthday of YouTube, which was founded by three former employees of PayPal; and the 60th anniversary of “The Sound of Music.”
