Has anyone listened to the old radio plays, like The Shadow or Jack Benny? Or silent movies ala, Nosferatu? Or even black and white movies or old pulp comics? Maybe even old swing music?
What relics from the Golden Age do you like?
I have always been a HUGE fan of Orson Welles' The Shadow(go here and give a few a listen, I recommend Death in the Deep) and of the Sherlock Holmes radio drama starring Nigel Bruce and Basil Rathbone. I also was a huge fan of German Expressionism, like Nosferatu, Mabuse and Metropolis. I love Louis Armstrong, but that has a lot to do with Fallout 2, though.
Anyone else?

I really enjoy watching black and white films although i'm talking more about films from the 1950's. They have this charm that new films don't have. In sci-fi's modern cgi robots and aliens look less real then the good old man in a robot suit. The Day the Earth Stood Still is a great example, much better then the re-make in my opinion.
We also have a tv sation that plays old movies from time to time, things like King Kong and Tarzan which are also a great watch.
Currently Playing:
Pillars of Eternity (PC)
I play Magic! See what decks im playing or building here!
I think you can even watch Nosferatu on YouTube now.
