If you’ve ever wondered why films give the date in Roman
numerals, here are a few theories but with no real conclusion:

Note! The year 2000 onwards is expressed using the word bis
(twice)
Annō dominī bis mīllēsimō [literally: in the 2 x thousandth year]:
in 2000; MM
Annō Dominī bis mīllēsimō ūndecimō: in 2011; MMXI
Annō Dominī bis mīllēsimō vīcēsimō quārtō: in 2024; MMXXIV
Here are some well-known ‘scary’ movies. In what year was each film released? Famous quotations from the movies - and their titles - I've also given in Latin. Can you match it all up?
1939; 1960; 1975; 1976; 1980; 1984; 1990; 1991; 2002; 2005

Ecce Johnny!
Ego pol tē ulcīscar, mea pulchra, atque istum catulum
tuum.
Istīus iecur cōnsūmpsī cum nōnnullīs fabīs Chiantique
suāvī.
Mātercula mea hodiē nōn sē bene habet.
Nōlī timēre, parvule mī, ego hīc adsum, ut tē prōtegam.
Ō Paule, tē amō.
Reveniam.
Scīsne, chīrūrgus fierī semper volēbam.
Tibi scaphā maiōre opus erit.
Vōs omnēs hīc in hōc profundō moriēminī.
