I've been in a particularly nostalgic mood lately and have been indulging some other interests (through books, movies and music, mostly), and got wondering how many others here are into some of them and if there are others that I did not mention. In no particular order, they are: Surfing movies (both documentary and fictional) and music (particularly surf guitar instrumentals) Hot Rods, custom and drag cars Beatnik culture (including jazz) Space age and sci-fi culture Cocktail and lounge culture (Rat Pack!) Googie architecture (and other prominent styles from 50s and 60s) Elvis movies Ads and magazines from 50s and 60s Just about any movie or TV show that reflects the 50s 60s culture Any that I left out?
