Stuff like Tolkien or C.S. Lewis are obvious, but other authors, movies, music, or entertainment might not be as well known.
So, how about a thread that lists some recommendations for things untouched by modern insanity?

They both hold up surprisingly well. Sure, the F/X are schlock compared to modern stuff, but you just have to take them as a product of their time. It bears noting that if you're going to watch Stargate then you're going to have to watch SG:Atlantis along with it to get the full story on everything.
It might also be worth a note to suggest checking out syndicated Sci-Fi and Fantasy shows from the late '90s and early '00s. Most of them were non-woke products of their time, and even though they were made for TV they can still be a fun watch. I still get a kick out of rewatching Highlander: The Series, Forever Knight, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr., Andromeda, Farscape, and other shows from that era.
The upside being that they don't lean on the effects to hand you 45 minutes of computer generated explosions and skybeams.
Seconding. Watching the phenomonal puppetry of Rigel and Pilot makes pine for the days aliens weren't all generic CG.
