I love Pluto TV.
Almost every modern era show or movie is unwatchable.
Yup, you are welcome. I hope you can find some things in the future.
Behind the Green Door and Deep Throat are classics!
Disney used to make great movies for kids. “The Jungle Book” is my favorite. The “Song of the South” is a close second.
You may have the “catch” those at a Pee Wee Herman type theatre. ;)
Crap. I was just looking at the movies they re-released from last year and I missed two of my favorites...Rain Man and American Graffiti. Poop.
Sometimes you just have to search the net and they pop up, if you know what you are looking for and frame your searches well.

I watched the entire interview and really enjoyed it. Thanks for posting the link to that.
When the kids were little I was in charge of what they watched. I put in sound of music one day and that was it.
We know every musical, every composer, every team
The kids listened later to the music their friends were listening to but they’d wink at me and say this really is not good music. They do like good rap
They know all the classic sitcoms
They know where to fast forward through recent ones but find that tedious
First too seasons of Brooklyn 99 is very good comedy, but it has to be forwarded. A lot
Movies made for middle school boys has been safe. They won’t take the time nor pay for crap or to be lectured to
The other guys, the die hard, much of mark wahlberg
Old blue bloods really only the ones with Jennifer Esposito because Donny w needs a strong opposite and because the writing was better
But put on seven brides for seven brothers or Robert Preston in the music man and forget it. We’re all in.
“Certainly not interested in anything modern.”
It seems the primary focus is making sure they have a diverse cast, whether it fits the movie or not. Young reviewers are also pointing out that a film is better because it is diverse. The only recent movie I wanted to see was Godzilla Minus One because it was made in Japan, and I knew they wouldn’t be focusing on a diverse case.
Disney started going bad late 60s. We have access to all and a hard copy collection
Snow White, etc. Classic fairy tales. Disney was brilliant w his adaptations
Jungle book
Robin Hood
The princesses
I kept the later stuff out of my house.
Mulan is allowed.
If you haven’t seen them already, I’d encourage you to watch the 1962 movie “Advise and Consent” as well as the 1945 “The Lost Weekend”.
Good movies ended in 1969 when, the year before, Bobby Kennedy was murdered and the news media screamed that movies and TV were “Glorifying Violence!” and called for government intervention.
So adult TV shows, still safe for children, dumbed down to kiddie shows, but the movie industry said they would “Police Themselves” by dumping the Hays Code and create a joke of a ratings system. GMRX was the first.
Instead of reigning in violence in the movies it opened the flood gates of the most vile, reprehensible films ever made as they began to churn out the worst filth ever put on film. Even the Pre-Code moves were mild compared to what started in 1969.
BTTT
Blazing Saddles, a trashy movie about eating beans and fartng.
The Best Years of Our Lives: a classic.
2 weeks ago I saw the silent Phantom of the Opera with a live Wurlitzer player and the next day Casablanca of the big IMAX screen. Thanks for the link.
Ditto- don’t care at all for almost 90% of modern movies- there are some exceptions, but tired of starting a movie and turning it off when the woke crap begins- so we just watch TCM pretty much exclusively now
Ditto again- Same here- hollywood sure has shot themselves in the foot with all their woke lecturing nonsense-
I see they have The Magic Flute. That comes up in Better Call Saul when Jimmy McGill is in a dumpster looking for evidence and opposing counsel calls him. When asked why he is whispering, Jimmy says he is at the opera seeing The Magic Flute.
