BillsPride12 Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 Since the Things That Didn't Age Well thread was a lot of fun and got a ton of replies....I figured we should look at the flip side of this and list things that are still amazing all these years later. I know in the other thread somebody already mentioned The Three Stooges. I'm going to kick things off with the early years Simpsons(about the first 9-10 seasons) FXX has been showing a lot of the really early season episodes the last few nights and it had been awhile since I've watched any of those and I had a ton of great laughs. One of the funniest shows of all-time(not counting when it fell off a cliff after the first decade) and those episodes still hold up very well to this day.

Another Fan Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 I watched Heathers recently. While in no way can the movie ever be made today it's pretty timeless considering what was happening in schools pre Covid. It was satire back in the day but holds up very well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SinceThe70s Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Old cars that were restored or well maintained. Anything from a Model T to a Pacer to whatever. Always amazing to pass one on the road whether I like the style or not (see the aforementioned Pacer) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 (edited) Based on my nerdy hobby of collecting 70s era vintage hifi equipment, much of this has aged well, and based on what top of the line marantz, pioneer and sansui receivers sell for, others unfortunately agree. Hard to find bargains anymore Edited August 14, 2021 by AlCowlingsTaxiService Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnnycage46 Posted August 14, 2021 Share Posted August 14, 2021 Alien and Aliens, T1 and T2, and Robocop are still classic, awesome sci fi movies. I usually rewatch them every year or so and they still hold up great IMO 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Fan Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Earliest memories of eating in the Buffalo area I have was my dad taking me to Anderson's on Main Street in Williamsville then later to Alethea's Chocolate down the road. I was around 6 or 7 (early 90's). Still remember thinking the food was real good. I was at multiple Anderson's not that long ago and the food is still very good. Good service as well. Alethea's was just how I remembered it as well. Old school chocolate shop with ice cream. Delicious. Still a very pleasant/charming place 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Cargo shorts. They may not currently be in style for the 4” inseam millennials, but I know if I’m going to battle zombies or the taliban, I can keep lots of supplies in those pockets. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
