You watch a movie on TCM (old classic movies channel for the benefit of those without Sky) but can remember seeing it as a new release at the movies ('The China Syndrome' today).

Anyone else like to share?

When you watch TCM.

It was only the third time, honest! The first two times were old B&W WWII movies I'd not seen before.

I have started to notice some of the music I grew up with is starting to show up on "Oldies Stations".

Even worse why do the chicks my age look old?

When you go to KiwiBiker and someone has started a thread about "old bikes" which you can remember when they were first released ... because you were riding at the time

There are some great movies on TCM. Kubrik, Ford, Hitchcock etc etc.
And there is plenty of dross too.

Some art transcends time.
