Nothing helps you reflect on the passage of time like revisiting your favorite media. That new song you discovered once upon a time is now "retro" and being remixed on TikTok. Your favorite sitcom is old enough for a reboot, and The Lion King is pushing 30.

These films will officially hit the decade mark in 2023, and honestly, how did we even get here?
1.The Wolf of Wall Street
Martin Scorsese's stockbroker drama feels so fresh it's hard to believe it was released so long ago. Also, since the role of Naomi Lapaglia was her breakout role, that makes a whole decade since Margot Robbie was first put on our radars.
2.Frozen
Yes, "Let It Go" is officially a 10-year-old song now. No, that still doesn't feel like a real sentence.
3.Man of Steel
While his reign as the DCEU's Superman may be over, Henry Cavill was Clark Kent for an entire generation of moviegoers. Where did the time go?
4.The Great Gatsby
Leonardo DiCaprio's movies get older, and his girlfriends get younger. Seriously, how are Gatsby and its bizarre soundtrack already a decade old?
5.The Hunger Games: Catching Fire
The Hunger Games franchise thrived during the YA dystopian adventure craze, and Catching Fire was its second film installation. This long-gone era of The Maze Runner and Divergent-type movies almost feels like a fever dream.
6.Iron Man 3
Remembering that the final Iron Man solo movie came out 10 years ago puts into perspective how long Marvel's been at the forefront of modern entertainment.
7.Thor: The Dark World
2013 also gave us Thor's second solo movie, meaning that Chris Hemsworth has been our one and only God of Thunder for over a decade.
8.The Wolverine
Marvel certainly had an interesting 2013. Iron Man and Thor aside, this was the same year that Wolverine went to Japan.
9.The Purge
Who would've guessed that the first Purge film would birth an entire media franchise? It's been 10 years since we could walk into a Halloween store and not see rows of the now-iconic "purge masks."
10.One Direction: This Is Us
Ah, the golden days of modern boy bands when One Direction still existed. We'll always have this documentary concert film to remind us of what we once had.
11.Fruitvale Station
Long before Ryan Coogler directed Michael B. Jordan in Black Panther, the pair worked together on this powerful and heartbreaking film. Fruitvale Station was also Coogler's big debut as a feature film director.
12.Spring Breakers
For better or worse, 2013 gave us James Franco as a "Florida man" in a movie starring Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez. Strange times, indeed.
13.12 Years a Slave
Believe it or not, it's been 10 years since Steve McQueen gave us one of the best biographical dramas of all time.
14.The Conjuring
The Conjuring Universe is so expansive now that one might forget its self-contained beginnings in 2013. A decade of terrifying curses, dolls, and nuns. What more could you ask for?
15.Dallas Buyers Club
Yes, it's been that long since Matthew McConaughey gave us his career-defining performance in Dallas Buyers Club. Even more impressive is the fact that he starred in Interstellar the following year.
16.Despicable Me 2
Who knew Minions had been around for such a painfully long time? Yet, they're still every aunt's go-to meme on Facebook.
17.We’re the Millers
The movie that made Will Poulter a meme and gave us the hilarious "No Ragrets" scene is hitting the decade mark this year.
18.Captain Phillips
No matter how many years go by, Captain Phillips's most iconic scene will live on. You can say, "Look at me. I'm the captain now," to anyone in 2023, and they'll know exactly what you're referencing.
19.Fast & Furious 6
F&F6 is a bittersweet topic for fans of the franchise. This was the last Fast film released during Paul Walker's lifetime, with the seventh installment serving as a final goodbye to the actor and his character.
