I am “guilty” of showing my daughter classic movies including some black and white ones.

I think everyone should watch those, it is like studying the life and culture of the past.

As for games, my partner does not allow gaming at all.

I truly think stuff like this is important. Developing an appreciation and personal connection to cultural touchstones of the past is like a history lesson and familiarizes you with the life experiences of your parents/grandparents/etc.

Gotta educate them on pop culture so they can understand the memes.
