Tbh I always liked talking with older people more. Also I was interested in history after ~1920 and they could confirm that what I read in the books was true.
Duck is being shilled as some national dish of my country and I still only eat chicken.
Yesterday there were wholesome duckerinos in a pond in the city park and I wouldn't eat them.
Idk, probably still Lord of the Rings because of how logical it was, there were clear good and evil, the worldbuilding was good and it looked like a world war, but solely good guys won.
I liked Dune and Matrix and newer films from Alien universe for similar reasons.
