My Grandmother liked watching Mohamed Ali's fights,which during the late 70's he fought on ABC every 4 months.

My Grandparents were both in their 70's and I was in H.S.

I'd go up on school nights and watch the fights with them.

Good times.

Westerns, especially John Wayne Westerns. My grandad loved them. He also really enjoyed Walker Texas Ranger.


Yep, anything with John Wayne

My grandma thought movies were the cause of moral degradation so we never really watched many movies. She did watch Disney movies. I also remember we accidentally took her to the 13th Warrior.

Didn't have DVD players or even VCR's when my grandparents were alive. The only TV I remember seeing with any of my grandparents was Lawrence Welk on Saturday night. My maternal grandparents stayed up until 9 pm for that on Saturday and it was an hour later than normal. They lived pretty far away so I didn't get to see them much. When I stayed with them in the summer, they got up at 4:30, so we went to bed at 8 pm.

It was a Christmas tradition that my sister and I watched White Christmas, Holiday Inn, and The Sound of Music with our maternal grandmother every Christmas Eve.

When I was real young I spent every weekend with my paternal grandparents. Every weekend was Georgia Championship Wrestling, The Incredible Hulk, Dukes of Hazard, Hee Haw, and Dallas.

For some reason my grandpa seemed to think I liked "The Music Man".

Probably watched that thing 100 times.

The one I actually enjoyed watching with them was Fantasia.

Western's and Dirty Harry movies with my grandfather from my mom's side

War movies with my dad's father. He was former Navy and loved watching old war movies.

Both sets of grandparents did keep a copy of Star Wars once it was released for me and the other grandkids to watch when we were over

Used to watch Vacation with my grandparents. This was back when VCR's only had wire remotes, and they didn't work that well. Grandpa was supposed to fast forward through the shower scene, but he always acted like the remote didn't work and grandma would get mad.

The only one I can really remember is Gone with the Wind with my maw maw.

Paw paw always had on either the Cubs or the Yankees while he read a book.
Now that I realize that I feel bad for those being my two most hated teams.

Not a movie, but when I lived with my grandparents they were really into The Sopranos, so we watched that every Sunday night when the new episodes aired. My Grandmother would sing along with the intro song, it was a pretty funny sight to see an old woman from Boligee, AL get into that show so much
