How did you get into classic films? (and my story)

My family also used to watch The Million Dollar Movie. We only had one tv and my father usually decided what we were going to see .He always named the stars so even while young I began to recognize the big names. Later I watched these movies simply because they were entertaining
and it became one of the few things my father and I had in common. For his birthday and Christmas, I always bought him books on classic films
and he treasured them to the point that he wore them out and had to be replaced. I still have a few.
