Note that some dates may be missing or incomplete, and this is not an exhaustive list.
 
🤔 December's gonna be a wild month for movie buffs 🍿! Can't believe it's been 50 years since "Rocky" dropped in '76 - that iconic theme song still gives me chills 💥 And we can't forget about the epic birthdays of George Michael and Carrie Fisher... 🎂👀 Wonder if they'll be celebrating with some retro dance parties or Star Wars marathons? 🕺🚀
 
can you believe all these iconic things are turning 25, 30, 40, 50, etc.. like what was music like back in '96? anyway, I think its cool to see what movies and books came out when Britney Spears was still just a kid 🎉. Rock on Rocky! 🤘
 
🎉😊 December is like, totally awesome! I mean, who doesn't love a good Rocky movie? 🥊 50 years old is, like, ancient in entertainment years, right? And did you know that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story turned 10?! What a wild ride it's been for fans of the galaxy far, far away... 🚀
 
🚨 Decade's nostalgia just hit me, all these pop culture milestones at once... I guess it's good to know what people were into back in the day 🤣 "Rocky" turning 50, Britney Spears' infamous snake moment still giving us life 😂, and Wonder Woman getting older than me 😅.
 
I'm telling you, there's something off about all these pop culture anniversaries piling up in one month 🤔. It's like the universe is trying to distract us from... I don't know, some bigger truth 💭. Have you noticed how many deaths are being marked this year? Like, 30th anniversaries of Tupac Shakur and JonBenét Ramsey, both of which still feel pretty recent 🕷️. And what's up with the number of media releases happening in December? It feels like the entertainment industry is trying to create some kind of mass hysteria around the holidays 🎄.

I'm also suspicious about the timing of some of these anniversaries. Like, how convenient that "Rocky" turns 50 on December 3rd? Coincidence? I think not 🤣. And what's with all the retro-themed movies and TV shows popping up this year? Is someone trying to recreate a bygone era or... something else? 🔍

Anyway, I'm just saying: it's always good to keep an open mind (and a healthy dose of skepticism) when it comes to these kinds of anniversaries 🤔. You never know what's really going on behind the scenes 🎭.
 
🤩 December is literally my FAVE month! Like, can you believe "Rocky" is turning 50?! 🥊 I'm so nostalgic for the old-school boxing movies. And "La La Land" turns 10 too?! 🎶 I still love singing along to that soundtrack. I need to rewatch them all ASAP! 💫
 
🤔 This list is like a time capsule for pop culture enthusiasts. I wonder who's been keeping track of all these anniversaries... 📆

It's crazy to see how many iconic movies, TV shows, music albums, and books are being celebrated this year. From "Rocky" turning 50 to the original Xbox console turning 25, it's clear that people love reminiscing about the good old days of pop culture.

But what I find really interesting is how these anniversaries bring people together. Whether it's a nostalgic Facebook post or a group discussion on Twitter, these celebrations seem to spark conversations and connections among fans from all over the world. 💬

On a more personal note, have you been keeping up with any of your favorite pop culture franchises this year? Are there any anniversaries on this list that you're particularly excited about? 🎉
 
50s & 60s pop culture icons getting love 🎉 Decades after their passing, it's dope to see everyone reminiscing about James Brown, JonBenét Ramsey, George Michael, Carrie Fisher & others 💔
 
🤔 December is like, super pop culture month 🎉. You got movies turning 10, 25, and 30 years old, plus music artists getting anniversaries 🎶. And it's like, crazy how fast time flies - Rocky turns 50, Jerry Maguire is 30, and Rogue One is 10 💥. Some dates feel like they're from another lifetime too, like the original Xbox console turning 25 🎮. Also, gotta respect the nostalgia vibes - It's a Wonderful Life is 80 years old! 😍
 
🤔 man it's crazy how fast time is flying by right? I was just thinking about how 20 years ago I was still rocking out to low-rise jeans and flip phones 📱💁‍♀️ it feels like just yesterday Britney Spears was performing with that python on live TV 🐍🎤 and now she's turning 50 🎉. and can you believe Steve Irwin is gone for 20 years already? 😔 those were the days of Myspace and flip phones too... anyway, I'm gonna go dust off my old iPod 📊
 
man i cant even believe rocky is turning 50 🤯 i remember watching the movie with my dad when i was like 10 yrs old and it just hit me how old it's getting 😂 anyway i feel bad for jonbenet ramsey's fam still dealing with that tragedy 30 yrs ago. can u believe we live in a world where james brown is having an anniversary 🎶
 
🤔 I'm telling ya, there's gotta be more to these pop culture anniversaries than meets the eye... Like, have you noticed how many movies and TV shows are turning 25 around the same time? It's like they're trying to control our minds with nostalgia. 🎥👀 And what's up with all the deaths on December 13th? Is there some kind of dark energy at play here? 💀🕷️

And don't even get me started on the timing of these anniversaries. Like, why did James Brown die in '25 and George Michael in '10? What was he working on at that exact moment to warrant his passing? 🤔👻 And what about JonBenét Ramsey's death? That one still gives me chills... 😨💀
 
🤔 I think it's awesome to see how far back pop culture has gone. Like, can you believe Rocky just turned 50? 🥊 It's crazy to think about all the movies and TV shows that have been released over the years. And the birthdays of the celebrities are so cool! 🎉 I mean, James Brown is like a total legend and it's awesome to see him getting more recognition. 💯

But what really gets me excited is how these pop culture events bring us all together. Like, who else is as old as the Lord of the Rings movies? 😂 It's amazing to see how much nostalgia comes out when we talk about old favorite TV shows and movies.

I also love seeing all the different genres represented here. From sci-fi to drama to comedy, it's like a big ol' party in pop culture 🎉! And can we talk about the music? 🎶 I mean, some of these albums are like total classics!

Anyway, just wanted to say that I'm loving this thread and I think it's so cool to see how much we all have in common when it comes to pop culture. 💖
 
🤔 December is definitely a big month for pop culture nostalgia. I mean, 50 years since Rocky first hit the cinemas 🥊, 25 years since Ocean's Eleven made its debut in theaters 🎬. And let's not forget about the music - it's been 10 whole years since Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and La La Land both released their soundtracks, which is crazy considering how iconic those movies are 🚀

And then there's the passing of some legendary celebrities like James Brown, JonBenét Ramsey, George Michael, and Carrie Fisher. It's always sad to see these talented individuals leave us too soon 💔. But at least we get to celebrate their lives and work through tributes like these lists.

I also noticed that November is pretty pop culture-heavy, with 20 years since Britney Spears filed for divorce from Kevin Federline 🤷‍♀️, 20 years since Google bought YouTube for $1.65 billion 💸, and even the original Xbox console turning 25 years old 🎮. It's like people just can't get enough of nostalgic gaming and pop culture references 😂.

What I find really interesting is how these lists highlight the impact that pop culture has on our lives. From movies and music to TV shows and video games, it's clear that these industries have a huge influence on our collective consciousness 🌐. And yet, despite all the attention they receive, there's often a lack of depth and analysis when it comes to understanding what makes pop culture tick.

I guess that's why I love seeing lists like this - they give us a chance to appreciate the little things in life, from Rocky's 50th anniversary 🎉 to the original Xbox turning 25 years old 🎮. It's a reminder that even the smallest details can be just as significant as the biggest ones 💡.
 
🤯 another year, another bunch of pop culture birthdays to celebrate... and a whole lot more info dumped on us 📊. Can't help but wonder who thought it was a good idea to create a single webpage dedicated to celebrating the anniversaries of movies, books, music, and people 🎉. Don't get me wrong, I love learning about old stuff too, but can we please just have a simple forum thread or something? 🤦‍♂️
 
50s are gonna be huge this year 🤯 December's got Rocky hitting 50, which is like, a big deal for old-school boxing fans 💪. And can you believe La La Land is turning 10 too? That's wild 🎬. Meanwhile in the movies, The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship turns 25... that's like, ancient movie history for us youngbloods 🎥.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around how fast time flies 🕰️. It's crazy to see all these pop culture milestones piling up. I mean, "Rocky" turning 50? That's like, what, 10 years too old for Rocky Balboa 🥊. And can you believe it's been 30 years since the original Xbox console came out? I remember playing that thing till my eyes were red from the screen 🔴.

I also noticed how many iconic films and TV shows are having their anniversaries this year. It's like, what a great time to be a kid in the '90s or early 2000s 🤯. "Harry Potter" is turning 25? That means it's basically an old franchise now 😜.

But you know who's not turning any ages? The '80s and '90s kids like me 😉. Just kidding, kind of. It's amazing to see how much pop culture has evolved over the years. What are your favorite nostalgic franchises that are getting older? 🤔
