Same thing when you watch Gunsmoke! Everyone at one time appeared in one or more Gunsmoke episodes. Burt Reynolds was in the first two seasons as Dodge City's blacksmith I believe.

Kurt Russel at about 16, Lee Van Cleef in his late teens early 20's, Earl Holliman and Dennis Hopper are a few I've seen lately.

William Shatner in the Nightmare at 20,000 Feet episode comes to mind as one of the others.

Not that I would call him a "big star", but I got a good chuckle when I realized Nathan Fillion was the first wrong Private Ryan.

I find a lot of interest looking at the filming locations, the cars - stuff that were afterthoughts at the time of filming, if considered at all.

One joy of older movies (and TV shows) is no cellphones.

Speaking of that. One joy is viewing technology no longer in existence. There was a scene in a movie where the guy in the backseat is listening to his transistor radio. I recall some guys having an earpiece and listening to the ballgame in Church. I NEVER saw this in the movies and I went a lot in my teens. I guess people had more manners back then.

No CGI. Before CGI, directors had to rely on a good plot and quality actors.

I other side of that is watching old movies with young people. I remember watching a movie with my niece and nephew and the protagonist was racing around trying to find a pay phone, which of course made no sense to them. "Why doesn't he use his cell phone?"

I thought about that, that's one way it's harder to write a story now than it was years ago, there's lots of movie and Tv shows plots that wouldn't work now that everyone has a phone/camera in their pocket.
