oldies but goodies
Aged yet beloved
Things from the past that remain enjoyable or valuable despite their age.
The phrase typically describes songs, movies, or other entertainment from earlier decades that have stood the test of time: The radio station plays nothing but oldies but goodies from the sixties.
Can apply broadly to anything old that still delivers: Grandma's recipes are oldies but goodies.
