Do you watch old TV shows and movies to "go back in time"?

With Covid lockdowns limiting the production of new TV shows and movies, many have used this as an opportunity to explore how people viewed life in the past. Personally, I've revisited movies like "The Breakfast Club" and the first seasons of "The Andy Griffith Show" and "I Dream of Jeanie" (as a kid watching a few random re-runs, I didn't realize it was an ongoing love story). Today, "The Breakfast Club", with it's all white cast, couldn't win an Oscar and the TV shows would be considered too "white" or sexist. However, the story lines and personal conflicts feel somewhat timeless and provide an escape from the ongoing culture war.

Then again "Time Machine" went woke during it's remake...

Have you revisited the past recently? What movies or shows would you recommend?

They Live is a old John Carpenter movie that I recently watched that seems to reflect what is going on today with the media. Another show along those same lines is Max Headroom.
