What's an old movie/tv show you still watch?
- Thread starter JJEH
- Start date
I like all those listed by Chuck24 up in post #14 except Emergency.
Never have watched emergency. Maybe I need to try it.

Cheers, Frasier, Night Court...older? Emergency, Adam 12, Combat, 12 O'clock high (the movie and the TV show) The Avengers, the original Lost in Space, that show was so bad it's good. My wife watches Murder She Wrote, and the one with Dick Van Dyke...I don't remember the name. He's a doctor, his son is a detective.
Movies might be anything, but almost nothing "new." We watched Key Largo the other night for about the 50th time.
Oh, and anything with Greer Garson.
Diagnosis Murder.
That's it!

If I'm going to watch something old (define "old"), I pull out something from our DVD collection. I know the cable package we have has some of the old tv shows, but I can't think of one I'd want to rewatch that I haven't already seen every episode a dozen or more times (ex: MASH).
movies:
Twelve O'Clock High
Captain Horatio Hornblower
Forbidden Planet
The Cruel Sea

most everything I watch is in a foreign language.
So, I agree.
Das Boot is a prime example.

The Horatio Hornblower movie was somewhat of a mashup of several plots in the book series, which was about a dozen of them. I always thought it could have launched a successful action movie series like James Bond, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Trek, etc. I guess that Hollywood wasn’t considering action movie series to be viable at the time.

Lots of old movies I like to rewatch. "In Harm's Way" comes to mind.
Godfather 1 & 2, hundreds of times, never gets old.

There were various series like the Thin Man, Maisie, Bowery Boys, Charlie Chan, and the Crosby-Hope “Road to...” movies, but they were not action series, more like comedies. The Hornblower books would have been a good basis for an action and adventure series. Errol Flynn might have made a good Hornblower, as Hornblower was never one to turn down an interesting invitation from a Countess or Duchess.

One of my favorites. Green Acres.
I really like this clip.
Arnold Zeffil and Foster Brooks in a bar - YouTube
I always loved this show. The absurdity of it, and how nonchalant the characters are throughout

We JUST watched "Muscle Shoals"
No, it is not about Arnold,, its about a town in Alabama,,
And, the town is Muscle Shoals,, music was created there!!
When you watch the movie,, you will learn a LOT about the music that you THOUGHT that you knew.
And, the town name is in the lyrics you have heard 500 times,,, and did not know it!!

My 3 brothers and I took our father to see Blazing Saddles in the theatre. We never heard him laugh so hard as he did watching the movie. I thought he was going to roll on the floor from laughing so hard during the "beans for supper" scene.
