Can You Guess What Year These Classics Came Out?

It's hard to believe that 2019 marked the 80th anniversary of the classic trip down the Yellow Brick Road, "The Wizard of Oz." Through the 1960s, '70s and '80s, television broadcasts were just about the only way fans could watch it.

Francis Ford Coppola directed this film that spawned two additional sequels. The movies were renowned for their star-studded casts including Al Pacino, Marlon Brando, Robert Duvall and James Caan, among others.

The year was 1980 and the second installment in the "Star Wars" series gave us the answer to a big question: Who exactly is Luke's father? An epic scene with an epic quote gave it away: "Luke, I am your father."

Julie Andrews (does "Mary Poppins" right a bell?) delighted us all with her sing-along fun in "The Sound of Music," a 1965 adaptation of the stage musical. The movie gave us popular songs like, "Do-Re-Mi" and "My Favorite Things."

"Gone With the Wind," the sweeping epic historical film based on Margaret Mitchell's book, was first released in 1939. At nearly four hours long, it requires a commitment to watch, but it's one of our favorites!

Only the 1970s could give us a beach-scare classic like, "Jaws." Directed by Steven Spielberg, "Jaws" was based on a book of the same name, although we doubt the "dun dun dun dun" was quite as terrifying in print.

"It's A Wonderful Life" has become a Christmas tradition for many. The movie is based on a book titled, "The Greatest Gift." In the film, protagonist George Bailey gets a glimpse at all of the people whose lives he's touched.

You may recognize the song of the same name more than the film itself — "Singin' in the Rain." But, the scene of Gene Kelly singing (and dancing) as he splashes through puddles is one of the great scenes in movie history.

Can you believe that Snow White is 83 years old? Man, she still looks good! Snow White is considered the first official Disney Princess, dating all the way back to the 1930s. Top that, Cinderella!

"West Side Story," the film version that is, was released in 1961, just four years after the Broadway show of the same name. The Jets and Sharks face off in a dance-off (what else!) for control of the neighborhood.

"Some Like It Hot" starred Monroe alongside Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon. In the film version, Curtis and Lemmon pose as women to avoid the Mafia, which is hot on their trail, after being witnesses to something they shouldn't have seen.

Don't get confused by the 2001 in "2001: A Space Odyssey"; this film was actually released in 1968. We have to think, though, that Arthur C. Clarke, who wrote the story upon which the film was based, was probably highly disappointed that the real 2001 wasn't as advanced as he predicted it would be!

The classic, "Casablanca," came out in 1942 and gave us a treasure trove of popular quotes that people still use today, such as the one in the question and this one: "Kiss me. Kiss me as if it were the last time."

Released in 1954, "Rear Window" tells the story of what one photographer happens to notice about his neighborhood outside his — you guessed it — rear window. It was classic Hitchcock and certainly classic cinema.

"Lawrence of Arabia" ran away with seven Oscars during the 1963 ceremony, one year after it was released in 1962. The film starred Peter O'Toole as the title character, which earned him his first Academy Award nomination.

"Meet Me in St. Louis" was a 1944 musical film featuring the talented vocals of none other than Judy Garland, who appears elsewhere in our quiz for her unforgettable role in "The Wizard of Oz."

"An American in Paris" combined Gershwin's musical chops with Kelly's dancing and singing abilities in this 1951 film. The movie was based on Gershwin's orchestral works from the 1920s.

Released in 1962 and based on the book of the same name, "To Kill A Mockingbird" is a hallmark of the cinema world. Gregory Peck stars in the leading role, but Scout and Jem will always have our hearts.

"One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" is probably not the most politically-correct name for a movie about a patient in a mental institution and wouldn't fly today. However, this movie was released in the 1970s and that was a lifetime ago for some!

It may be more than 60 years old, but flip through your on-screen TV guide and you're likely to still find "Ben Hur" playing somewhere. The 1959 hit tells the story of the fictional character, Judah Ben-Hur.

"All About Eve" was one of the highest-grossing movies of 1950 and received a record 14 Academy Award nominations. Only two other films have since received 14 nominations — 1997's "Titanic" and 2016's "La La Land."

If sports comedies are your thing, then "Caddyshack" should be on your weekend binge list if you haven't already watched it. Released in 1980, it spawned a sequel, but that didn't fare nearly as well.

Clint Eastwood is one of a trio of bounty hunters in the 1966 Western set during the American Civil War. Did you know this movie was the third part of a series known as the "Dollars Trilogy?" Learn something new every day!

Directed by Steven Spielberg, this movie climbed to the top of the highest-grossing films of all time but was unseated a decade later.

Released in 1973, "The Exorcist" is still considered one of the most terrifying horror films ever made. At the time of its release, there were reports of people becoming physically ill in movie theaters around the world.

De Niro earned an Academy Award nomination for his role in "Taxi Driver," along with his co-star, Jodie Foster, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. "Taxi Driver" was a classic of '70s cinema.

Set in the not-too-distant past, "Apocalypse Now" was released in 1979. The story centers on Vietnam in 1970. Noted director Francis Ford Coppola directed and also co-wrote the film's story.

"The Bridge On The River Kwai" is another classic film whose roots started as a book. Written by Pierre Boulle, the novel and the movie shared the same name. The movie has been named to the National Film Registry.

"Bonnie and Clyde," which paired Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway as the title characters, recounted the real-life story of Clyde Barrow and Bonnie Parker during the Great Depression of the 1930s.

Burt Lancaster, Montgomery Clift and Frank Sinatra played the roles of the U.S. soldiers in this 1953 film that took home eight Academy Awards. Even today, it is considered one of the greatest movies ever made.

You wouldn't think a movie that makes fun of the Cold War would be released during said Cold War, would you? But, that's exactly what "Dr. Strangelove" was — a comical look at what could go wrong during a heated time in history.

"The Graduate" was released in 1967, a story about a man who recently graduated college and finds himself the object of a much older woman's desires. Dustin Hoffman and Anne Bancroft starred.

"Citizen Kane" was a somewhat biographical account of the lives of media moguls, William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer. Orson Welles played the title character in the film, which won an Academy Award for its writing.

The first in a long line of "Psycho" movies and television shows, the original "Psycho," which featured Norma and Norman Bates, was released in 1960. The franchise was based on a novel of the same name, written by Robert Bloch.

Released in 1977, the "Star Wars" empire doesn't show any sign of slowing down anytime soon, does it? The film that launched television shows, apparel and a dozen other movies also introduced us to Princess Leia, Han Solo and the Death Star.
