What's an old movie/tv show you still watch?

Quite a few and some already mentioned both movies and TV.

TV to add to Star Trek, Barney Miller and Green Acres among many would be.

The Outer Limits. Fun to see that even in the early 1960s Robert Duvall still had very little hair, like myself.
Crime Story.
Freaks and Geeks.
Firefly and the movie Serenity.
Boris Karloff's Thriller.
Married With Children and the great philosopher Al Bundy.

For some movies.

You Can't Take It With You.
The Night of the Hunter. Mitchum was perfect as the villain, but outmatched by Lillian Gish as Rachel Cooper.
Inherit The Wind.
Cary Grant was a wonderful comedic actor as mentioned for Father Goose, Operation Petticoat and Arsenic and Old Lace, but we think he was also excellent in Bringing Up Baby and a perfect pairing with Katherine Hepburn. Mr. Bone still is a good one and Hepburn as Susan or in her gangster moll routine at the end of Swinging Door Susie was priceless fun, both of them of the Leopard Gang.
A couple of favorite 80s crime movies both starring William Petersen are Manhunter and To Live and Die in LA.

TV series of movies would be Hec Ramsey and Columbo.

Among many other great choices some mentioned here previously. :)

First time I saw Bringing up Baby I had just come home after a night of imbibing.
I thought it was hilarious!
Barry Fitzgerald as Gogarty, and Walter Catlett as totally confused Constable Slocum were great.
My favorite part was where Hepburn and Grant are trying to awaken Mr Peabody by throwing pebbles against his second floor bedroom window. Hepburn decides the need bigger rocks,and just as she throws a good sized rock Peabody emerges and gets conked on the noggin, unconscious.
A great screwball comedy.
Another movie I watch every time I run across it is "It Happened one Night"
With Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert. Don't know why but I like it.
 
Law and Order, especially the Lenny Briscoe/Joe Green and earlier ones.
I like that the cast all look like real, believable people, not soap opera beautiful people, the acting is good to great, and the writing superb, with most of the stories having many layers in the onion.
 
I'm usually awake very,very early on a Sunday morning, and I can catch "The Time Tunnel" and "The Invaders" at that time.
 
Marathon Man
French Connection
Three Days of the Condor
All The President's Men
The Yakuza

...those are just a few
 
Pretty much everything that has been listed so far....... I did watch "The Wild, Wild West" with Robert Conrad & Ross Martin the other day. Of course it was silly, but the color was great. Reminded me of the Technicolor movies of the 50's and early 60's.
