What does it for you to remember a good, simple time?

They don't make'em like that anymore...

Generally music. Soundtracks from The Lion King, Aladdin, Toy Story, etc, etc. I had a nostalgia night a couple months ago where I watched Toy Story 1 and 2 followed by the newer third one in a single night.
 
Funny, seeing the title to this thread, I immediately thought: "Cartoons."

Old-school Tom & Jerry for instance.

Oooh, also, great memories of old Disney movies on Sunday evenings, it was a tradition in my family for most of my younger years.

I watched way too much TV when I was a kid, so the intro music to cartoons from the late 80's and early 90's are the most nostalgia evoking. Certain smells will do it too, or finding old toys that I used to play with.
 
there's a forum that I go to that has been running since 2004. Sometimes I like to take a random look through all the threads that have appeared throughout the years and it produces a nostalgic feeling when I find one that I remember distinctly.
