Lord Of The Rings
In 2017, the cast of Lord of the Rings gathered together for a little reunion, and the entirety of those of us who were there completely lost our minds. The actors who featured in The Lord of the Rings films got together to discuss about their experiences filming in Middle Earth. Some of the actors who attended the reunion included Elijah Wood, Orlando Bloom, and Viggo Mortensen, to name just a few.
Lord Of The Rings
Let’s be honest: we were all ready for them to start singing “The Song of Durin” or reciting Elvish lines. But, alas, it was merely a casual gathering. But we can dream, can’t we?
Married… With Children
The Bundy family was eventually able to contact one another and begin the process of reuniting as a whole in 2014, which was also the year they were able to contact one another. The cast of “Married… With Children,” which includes Ed O’Neill, Katy Sagal, Christina Applegate, and David Faustino, recently gathered to commemorate the sitcom’s 25th anniversary. The show’s initial cast members, as well as the rest of the cast, were present.
Married… With Children
Reminiscing about the dysfunctional family we all adored was sure to be hilarious. Let’s be honest—we want a spin-off about Bud Bundy’s current activities. He may still be rapping or have found love. No limits!
That ’70s Show
It was announced in 2013 that the cast of “That ’70s Show” will be reuniting, so be ready for some serious throwbacks to the disco period. When Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and the rest of the cast joined together to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the show, we were immediately transported back in time to the flower power era. Complete with feathered hair and bell-bottomed jeans, the cast brought the 1970s back to life.
That ’70s Show
Did they spend the day in Eric’s basement, munching cheese and attempting to think of new ways to prank each other? Do they still listen to Led Zeppelin and dress in tie-dye? We require responses!
Friends
Would it be possible for our excitement to reach even higher levels? Before the cast of Friends had their most recent official get-together, the actors from the series surprised us with not one but two amazing get-togethers beforehand. After the conclusion of the television series in 2004, the cast of the show got back together for the first time, and they did it again in 2016 to pay tribute to the late director James Burrows.
Friends
Imagine the quips and catchphrases as they caught up. We’re all waiting for the alleged revival to see Ross, Rachel, and the gang immediately. Chandler may be a stay-at-home dad or Phoebe a famous musician.
Pretty Woman
Big error. Huge! In 2016, the cast of Pretty Woman came together for a reunion, and we couldn’t help but feel a bit sentimental thinking back to the days when we all wanted to look like Julia Roberts in a red dress. throughout the celebration of the film’s 25th anniversary, Julia and Richard Gere got reunited, and we’re sure that throughout their time together, they reminisced about that famous shopping scene.
Pretty Woman
It’s time to be honest! We’re only waiting for a sequel in which Vivian returns as a wealthy entrepreneur with impeccable fashion sense. Can you envision wearing power suits and carrying fancy handbags? We’re prepared for it.
Back To The Future
Oh, my graciousness in the heavens! In order to commemorate the movie’s 31st anniversary, the cast of “Back to the Future” got together for a photo shoot in the year 2016, which took place in the year 2016. The cast of “Back to the Future,” which included Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, and Lea Thompson, as well as the DeLorean itself, gathered together to reminisce about their times spent traveling through time. Also in attendance was the DeLorean.
Back To The Future
They probably made hoverboard jokes all day and convinced us we’d be driving flying cars by now. Like us, you’re waiting for a time machine to attend the Enchantment Under the Sea dance in 1955. Let’s dream.
School Of Rock
It’s time to stop hiding your weirdness and embrace it! The members of the cast of the movie School of Rock gathered reunited in 2013 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the film. Jack Black, Miranda Cosgrove, and the rest of the gang got together to have a good laugh about how much fun it used to be to rebel against authority figures and play air guitar when they were younger.
School Of Rock
The cast probably spent the day jamming and writing fresh “Math Is a Wonderful Thing” lyrics. How about a sequel with grown-up kids running their own rock school? The Battle of the Bands would be amazing.
Ghostbusters
Who ya gonna call? On the set of the Ghostbusters reboot from 2016, which also served as their meeting site, the original cast of Ghostbusters came back together after a long time apart. Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and the rest of the gang got together while they were taking breaks from filming their appearances in the movie to talk about how much fun proton packs and ectoplasmic slime used to be in the good old days.
Ghostbusters
Seeing the gang again was a lot of fun, even though the film didn’t live up to many fans’ expectations (thank goodness, a better sequel/reunion picture came out a few years later)!
Harry Potter
Accio reunion! In 2021, as part of the celebrations honoring the film’s 20th anniversary, fans of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter were finally able to witness the reunion they had been longing for all those years. This event was included in the festivities. Even though there weren’t any decent quidditch matches or spellcasting, they still managed to have a wonderful time catching up over some butter beer. Despite this, there were no good quidditch matches or spellcasting.
Harry Potter
For Potterheads, this prompted a desire for a fresh group of films, possibly following the next generation. Now, it appears that Harry Potter fans will be getting additional entertainment, but with a different cast.
E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of the release of the film “E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial,” all of the actors who participated in the film gathered in 2012. Drew Barrymore, Henry Thomas, and the rest of the cast and crew, as well as everyone else, congregated. It’s obvious that they have a lot of charisma, but considering how young they were at the time the picture was produced, we shouldn’t be surprised.
E.T., The Extra-Terrestrial
We have high hopes that they got at least a few delicious goodies that triggered happy memories from their past. Perhaps some sweets with a flavor similar to that of Reese’s Pieces?
The Princess Bride
Allow for a reunion if it is what you desire! The ensemble cast of “The Princess Bride” reunited in 2012 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the film’s premiere. Cary Elwes, Robin Wright, and the other members of the group gathered with the rest of the cast. We have no way of knowing for sure, but it appears that they spent the day drinking and reminiscing about their daring escapades and amusing one-liners in the past.
The Princess Bride
Though we’ll never return to this amazing planet, it’s fun to imagine what might happen. The kingdom was ruled by Princess Buttercup and Westley. Will Inigo Montoya seek revenge? Will Miracle Max find eternal life?
Matilda
Matilda is one of those movies that a whole generation vividly remembers watching, and for the vast majority of people, thinking about it brings up good memories from their own childhood. The realization that all of those characters had greatly developed by the year 2013, when we were still in our childhoods, was a bit of a wake-up call for the recollections of our youth. The cast of Matilda eventually got back together around this time.
Matilda
“Miss Trunchbull, please don’t make us eat chocolate cake!” we all pleaded. Mara Wilson, Danny DeVito, and the rest of the cast gathered to mark the 17th anniversary of the film. That has to be one wild celebration!
The X-Files
Mulder and Scully were involved in their usual pranks in 2015 when they were discovered to be in breach of the law. When we learned that the actors of The X-Files would be returning for a new season, all we could think was, “Trust no one, but can we trust that this is going to be awesome?” Despite the fact that we don’t trust anyone, we were optimistic about the new season.
The X-Files
David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson resumed their investigation of paranormal activities, leaving us all wondering what’s truly out there. The reboot only lasted two seasons, but let’s face it: we all wanted more!
Titanic
The cast of “Titanic” got back together in 2017, and the effect was to make us all feel like we were “king of the world” once more! When we found out that Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, also known as Jack and Rose, had paired up to auction off some personal belongings, we all thought to ourselves, “I’ll never let go of my wallet if I’m bidding on those items!” and so we did not participate in the auction.
Titanic
The actors did some reminiscing, which brought back a wonderful memory from when we were younger for all of us. In addition to that, they continued to look fantastic!
Sex And The City
It was a timely reminder that trends come and go, but genuine friendship can last a lifetime when the dynamic quartet from “Sex and the City” got back together in 2010. This happened in 2010. The instant we learned that Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, and Cynthia Nixon were going to work together on the sequel movie, our very first thought was, “Can we join their squad, please?”
Sex And The City
The reunion made the fans’ hopes come true. Even though they were older, the females had better appearances. And Just Like That… made its comeback in 2021 with several of the original cast members.
Mean Girls
In 2014, when the Plastics from the television series “Mean Girls” got back together, it set up a wild frenzy of excitement among the show’s committed audience members. When I got together with Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, and Amanda Seyfried at the event marking the ten year anniversary of the film, we were all thinking the same thing. In fact, we were all wondering the same thing. “Is it possible that butter contains carbohydrates?”
Mean Girls
This reunion just served to whet our appetites, and moviegoers have been clamoring for a sequel ever since. Could we ever see something like that? Who knows, but with the recent boom of sequels in Hollywood, we surely hope so!
The Little Rascals
As a result of the reunion of the cast of The Little Rascals (1994), which took place in 2014, a strong sense of melancholy and longing was brought on. Even if Spanky, Alfalfa, and Buckwheat, along with the rest of the group, are all adults at this point in time, we will never stop thinking of them as the most beautiful of the youngsters who were a part of Our group.
The Little Rascals
We can only hope they spent their reunion day avoiding Darla and planning the next go-kart race at the He-Man Woman Haters Clubhouse. And, let’s be honest, we still can’t watch “You Are So Beautiful” without crying.
The Wonder Years
When we were kids, The Wonder Years was the kind of show that made us feel everything, so when the cast of the show reunited in 2014, we couldn’t help but get teary-eyed. The Wonder Years was the kind of show that made us feel everything when we were young. What do Kevin, Winnie, and Paul want to do with the remainder of their lives now that they are adults? Tell me it ain’t so!
The Wonder Years
But, happily, the group looked exactly as cute as they did back then. We only hope Kevin was still wearing his distinctive plaid shirt and Paul was still wearing his glasses.
Thelma & Louise
When it was originally released to the general public in 1991, the film Thelma & Louise broke the mold and gave us one of the most renowned endings in the history of the whole film canon. We were really fortunate to witness Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon reuniting in the most famous role that each of them had ever portrayed in 2014. For all of us, this was an absolutely remarkable event.
Thelma & Louise
After celebrating the film’s 20th anniversary, the pair probably drove off in a vintage convertible. We’re waiting for a sequel with grandmas who still make mischief. Hollywood—do it!
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Scotty, I need you to tell the commanding officer to turn on the transporter! A reunion of the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation took place in 2012, and all of the cast members agreed that it was an event that none of them will ever forget. Is it true that Geordi La Forge, Captain Picard, and Data have resolved their differences and are working along with one another once again? Engage!
Star Trek: The Next Generation
But they met again. Picard, the CBS hit, brought back our favorites. No matter the reunion, the Enterprise crew has had a good run, and we wish them well.
The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants
Get ready for a surge of warm fuzzies, people, because the cast of Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is getting back together on a regular basis. Despite the fact that the pants have been permanently stored away, the sisterhood is still going strong! These four ladies have never stopped being a part of each other’s life, and they still get together on a consistent basis with one another.
The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants
Has Bridget found her father in Mexico? Kostas and Lena reconciled? Please respond! It’s wonderful to see that the cast has remained close after so many years. suffrage always!
Lost
Because of this incredible performance, each and every one of us found ourselves drawn to the fascinating island and the various people who had made the decision to call it home. It would be an understatement to say that the news of their reunion in 2014 made us delighted; in point of fact, it was more than that. In fact, we were more than ecstatic. In point of fact, it involved more than that.
Lost
After all, the cast reuniting is great. They may have all the answers. Maybe they wanted to chat about their island time. It’s a reunion to lose ourselves in.
Lizzie Mcguire
The original cast of Lizzie McGuire reunited in 2015, and watching them work again was like going back in time and doing it all over again! Everyone from the cast and crew of the show gathered together, and let’s just say that they do not have the same appearance as they did in the early 2000s. Nevertheless, when I saw them back together again, it prompted a wide spectrum of feelings in me that I had not experienced before.
Lizzie Mcguire
Is it actually going to take that long? In the blink of an eye, we became adults. Lizzie and the rest of the gang will always have our love.
Aliens
When the actors who starred in the ground-breaking science fiction action film Aliens got back together for a reunion in 2014, it was an extraordinary occurrence that brought them all back together again. At the event that was held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the film, a number of the actors who appeared in the movie, including Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, and Lance Henriksen, amongst others, were there.
Aliens
They laughed and reminisced about their time on set fighting the alien danger. This reunion proved that in space, no one can hear you scream—unless you’re happy to see your old castmates!
Full House
Show some compassion for the situation! The Tanners have fought their way back into contention for the award thanks to their hard work. In recent years, in order to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the television show Full House, the cast of the show has gotten back together not once, but twice. They got back together in 2016 for some good old-fashioned hilarity as well as conversation about their time spent working on the iconic comedy from the ’90s.
Full House
Additionally, they made another appearance in the much-loved original show Fuller House’s successor series that airs on Netflix. Throughout the emotionally moving and amusing reunions, fans repeatedly shouted “Cut it out!”
Ugly Betty
Yes, it’s true! In 2016, the whole original cast of the television show Ugly Betty came back together to shoot new episodes for the show’s upcoming season. America Ferrera, Vanessa Williams, and the rest of the cast of that acclaimed show got back together again to talk about their respective careers as part of the preparations for the program. The purpose of carrying out this task was to get ready for the presentation.
Ugly Betty
Betty’s braces and Mode’s colorful costumes must have made it a blast from the past. We wonder if Wilhelmina and Betty still stumbled. It was a memorable reunion for all.
The Goonies
Hello to everybody! The tie that unites the Goonies and makes them who they are is also tremendously strong. The well-known actors of the movie came together in 2015 to commemorate the film’s 30th birthday. The movie in question is an action movie from the 1980s. The movie had its initial release in 1985. It was incredible to see Chunk, Data, and the rest of the crew as they all came back together.
The Goonies
They even rode in the recognizable pirate ship from the movie. We all secretly wished we might have joined them in their quest for treasure and cautionary maneuvers.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
When it came time for the performers from Terminator 2: Judgment Day to join together for a reunion, it wasn’t that long ago, only a few short years ago. If you were curious, the movie in question is Terminator 2, which was released in 1991. At the 2017 Silicon Valley Comic Con, Linda Hamilton and the other members of the cast did, in fact, take part in a panel discussion together with one another.
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
It’s always entertaining to see these action actors reunite and relive their dramatic on-set exploits. They would also reunite a few years later in another Terminator film… it appears that cyborgs never die!
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
All of the original cast members of the television series “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” reunited in 2017. You believe that wholeheartedly, don’t you? It had been years since they had faced villains and provided comic relief on television. Neither of them had any recollection of the other. Because of our interest in the subject, we want to know if they still have all of those talents and the capacity to produce creative comebacks.
Buffy The Vampire Slayer
It must have been amazing to watch Sarah Michelle Gellar, Alyson Hannigan, and the rest of the cast grow up and catch up on old times. Who knows, they might have even resurrected some vampires on their reunion day!
Baywatch
Oh, Baywatch, the television show from the 1990s that was both famous and influential. The show was mostly responsible for the popularity of slow-motion beach runs, and it was also the first time any of us saw David Hasselhoff’s stunning chest hair. As a result of the event, we became aware of both of these issues. It should come as no surprise to anyone that the cast has shown interest in returning for another season in 2013.
Baywatch
They may have reenacted classic situations like rescuing a drowning victim or catching a beach robber. Maybe they had a “I’ve Been Looking for Freedom” Hoff-off. Baywatch reunions are fun!
10 Things I Hate About You
Have you heard the rumor that the cast of 10 Things I Hate About You is going to reunite in the year 2014? They came together to remember Heath Ledger by celebrating his birthday as a group in honor of his passing. It is always a delight to watch performers who have worked together in the past get back together, as it provides the opportunity for them to reminisce about the simpler times.
10 Things I Hate About You
Perhaps they even quoted some of the movie’s most memorable lines. But let’s hope nobody tried to recreate that memorable paintball scene. Now, do we really want any fractured bones?
The West Wing
Imagine the actors of “The West Wing” stepping back into the Oval Office as if they had never left. It would be as if they had never been away. You got that exactly perfectly! In 2015, the gang reunited, and seeing it felt like I was witnessing the coming together of long-lost pals. Since the conclusion of the episode, it seems as though they have not changed at all.
The West Wing
It was wonderful to hear President Bartlet and his crew once more giving their humorous one-liners and discussing the challenges of the day. Please give us a fresh start with a new season of the show.
Dawson’s Creek
It was a momentous occasion that harkened back to the program’s golden days when James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson, the ultimate heartthrobs of the ’90s adolescent drama Dawson’s Creek, met in 2018. James Van Der Beek and Joshua Jackson were the stars of the show Dawson’s Creek. It’s as if the most epic piece of fan fiction you’ve ever read has been brought to life, and who wouldn’t want that to happen?
Dawson’s Creek
They reunited to commemorate the show’s 20th anniversary, and it felt just like old times. Imagine if they spent their time analyzing their legendary hairstyles or debating who eventually won Joey’s heart.
The Sandlot
Hey, do you have any idea what surpasses coolness in terms of awesomeness and what it is? Getting together in 2013 with the other cast members of The Sandlot and the childhood friends you made while working on the show! The ensemble gathered back together to celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary, and we are here to tell you that even after all this time, they still have it!
The Sandlot
Squints drowning to kiss Wendy Peffercorn was missing. However, seeing the group all grown up and still close is heartwarming. If only they could teach us the ultimate baseball trick shot…
Napoleon Dynamite
Oh my HELL! The cast of Napoleon Dynamite reunited in 2021, the year that marked the tenth anniversary of the release of the movie, in order to celebrate the occasion. Gosh! That is in no way, shape, or form even remotely horrible in any manner! When we finally caught up with Napoleon, Pedro, and Deb after such a lengthy hiatus, it had been more than ten years since we had last seen any of them.
Napoleon Dynamite
Napoleon may still have his moon boots and Nunchuck skills. Pedro’s mustache? We hope! We can’t wait to meet them again and find out if Tina the llama ever got her ham back.
High School Musical
Oh, those fantastic individuals that appear in High School Musical! It is almost as if they never moved from their place in front of the crowd at East High. In 2016, the group got back together and performed some new material, bringing back to life the trademark gestures and vocals that they had developed over the years. It is unfathomable that they are still capable, after all of these years, of carrying out such risky activities.
High School Musical
There must always be tension behind the scenes at a reunion. There was a fight over the “We’re All in This Together” headbands at the show’s end. A game of basketball was played to settle the dispute.
ICarly
Do you still get a sense of sorrow or nostalgia when you think back on your time on iCarly? This is most likely why the band reassembled in 2016; the performance at their reunion was a throwback to earlier work they had done together. Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette McCurdy, and Nathan Kress were all present and participated in a discussion about their experiences while in the program. The discussion focused on their various responsibilities as participants.
ICarly
A reboot TV series? Since the show is back, we can reminisce and catch up with the gang. Some of those great webisodes may return. The iCarly cast keeps us laughing.
Boy Meets World
It wasn’t until 2013 that the original cast of Boy Meets World reunited, and the event brought all of the feelings and memories from our childhood pouring back. After that, in the normal Disney fashion, they made a spin-off series for us to watch which was dubbed Girl Meets World. To all intents and purposes, it was almost as if Cory, Topanga, and Shawn had never been missing from our life!
Boy Meets World
Who could anyone forget Mr. Feeny? Even today, he is still teaching us life lessons. This group will always have a special place in our hearts, and we are thankful for their timeless friendship and humorous shenanigans.
One Tree Hill
Good to see you! Have you heard the exciting news that the actors and actresses from One Tree Hill got back together in 2015? If not, you really ought to look into it. It’s almost as if they were never away from Tree Hill to begin with. It was quite possibly one of the most epic gatherings that has ever taken place on the face of the earth at any point in its long and illustrious history.
One Tree Hill
We thought we couldn’t bear seeing Chad Michael Murray, James Lafferty, and the group again, but it was worth it. They look unaging! If only we could get a reunion show…
Laguna Beach
Back in 2014, the cast of Laguna Beach got together for a quick get-together to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the show they had been on for so many years. Can you imagine? Remembering all of those sunburns and stressful occasions is like having a flood of them wash over you. We are curious as to whether or not they discussed the embarrassing moments that were captured on video.
Laguna Beach
Perhaps they staged recreations of famous moments. It’s hard to believe they’ve already survived so many years of high school in California. Despite the passage of time, they remain close.
Forrest Gump
When the actors of the original “Forrest Gump” movie got back together in 2014, we couldn’t help but wonder if Tom Hanks still had that box of chocolates. Back then, we couldn’t help but worry if he was still in possession of them today. Sadly, he didn’t. On the other hand, we were able to see Hanks, Mykelti Williamson, and Gary Sinise bond with one another and reminisce about the picture that received widespread critical acclaim.
Forrest Gump
We hope they did the running scene and exchanged “life is like a box of chocolates” jokes. We’ll take what we can. Can Forrest run cross-country again in a sequel? We’re craving more quotable lines.
Maid In Manhattan
Jennifer Lopez and Tyler Posey reunited in 2014 to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the television show Maid in Manhattan. Honoring the film’s accomplishments. This reconnection will cause you to feel all of your emotions. J.Lo and Tyler organized a party in honor of the film that demonstrated that a name tag and a uniform aren’t always required to discover love. The title of the film was “The Wedding Ringer.” There was advertising for the film “The Wedding Ringer.”
Maid in Manhattan
But Tyer was no longer the same innocent child. In fact, we suspect that JLo may have glanced at him and believed the two of them belonged in a romantic comedy.
Star Wars
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away… In reality, the original Star Wars cast reunited in 2013 to commemorate the series’ 40th anniversary. The event was held in honor of the Star Wars film and television series. This is just a game that we are playing for fun. Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, and Harrison Ford gathered together to talk about the time they spent working on their most famous performances and the memories that came from it.
Star Wars
They undoubtedly caught up on their lives since. Have they talked about those movies that came before? If that’s the case, there must be a lot of jokes about Jar Jar Binks.
The Nanny
Oh, that gentleman from Sheffield who always looks so dapper! A reunion of the original cast of “The Nanny” took place in 2016 as part of the festivities commemorating the show’s 20th anniversary. Everyone from the show’s original cast, including Fran Drescher, Charles Shaughnessy, and the rest of the crew, got back together recently to reminisce about the show’s glory days, when it was loaded with hilarious gaffes and smart one-liners.
The Nanny
Because of all the reboots, it’s possible that we’ll get to watch this legendary cast perform their roles once more. After all, who wouldn’t want to find themselves in a predicament similar to that of the Sheffields?
Trainspotting
Make a decision about your life, your job, and your next exciting experience. T2: Trainspotting 2 was released in 2017, which is 20 years after the first film, and it was filmed with the same cast that was in the first film. Everyone, including Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, and the rest of the gang, got together to talk about the good old days and reminisce about when they were younger.
Trainspotting
Maybe a 3rd installment in 20 years. But don’t expect it soon, they’re not as young. It’d be interesting to see how the gang copes in their senior years.
