Seen that as well.Got it beat by a year though The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse(1921) Also seen The Battleship Potemkin(1925) | |
That I definitely remember? Random Harvest (1941) I've partially seen a number of films made in the 1930's/40's, any earlier and I honestly have no clue what I've watched. Got a load of films from the 50's (classic British war films, propaganda and guff, all of it, but still...) Actually, just checked: Goodbye, Mr Chips (1938)... gawd, how English am I?? EDIT: I may be a Greer Garson fanboy as well... -_- | |
The Dictator (1940). It's also the only Chaplin film that I've watched. I've seen plently of shorts, but this is the only feature length film that I've seen of him. | |
I'm a film student, so I have seen the very first things filmed. If we're talking feature lengths, not sure, had to study a LOT of them.
GREAT FILM. | |
Roundhay Garden Scene(1888). Beat that Escapists! | |
Can't beat, only tie it. And I saw a whole bunch of others too, thank you film class | |
Hardly counts as a movie though considering it's like 2 seconds long | |
I think the oldest I've seen is The Lost Weekend (1945) Such a fantastic film! | |
The Lost World (1925) I've probably seen older somewhere or other, but those are the three I can remember. | |
The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (1920): http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0010323/ Still entertaining, even today. | |
I think the seven samurai. one of my favorites actually. | |
I forget the name, but 1890s Czech animation, if that counts. If not, then Lev Kuleshov's early work in the 1909-10 period. | |
Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) is the oldest I can remember watching. Although I need to watch it again soon, as I haven't seen it in ages. It also pales in comparison to everyone else's. EDIT: In fact, I can't believe I forgot how old it was but Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937) | |
I think the oldest movie I've seen was Reefer Madness, from 1936. I may have seen older ones but none that spring to mind. | |
I watched that for the first time about a week ago, and I really enjoyed it. All of the train sequences were stunning! I've seen Fred Ott's Sneeze (1896) - it's only seven seconds long though, so it's not much of a movie, more of just a really old clip thing. | |
I'd recommend The Kid. You can watch it on YouTube for free because it has passed it's copyright date. I started watching Birth of a Nation (1915). I felt that I should because it's considered to be one of the most important films of all time. The only problem is it's 3 hours long and incredibly racist (its basically about how the KKK will save America from the negros). I think you would need to be in a very particular mood to watch it. | |
Citizen Kane for me. I don't generally watch many really old movies. Will probably watch Metropolis some point soon though, and that's 1927 I think. | |
probably the airship destroyer from 1909 trippy little sci-fi war movie | |
To kill a mockingbird or twelve angry men. i don't know which is older and i don't feel like looking it up. | |
I guess this. It's the only legitemate silent movie I've seen. And demanding on how you watch it, it's actually kind of funny. | |
I was gonna say Mr Smith Goes To Washington, but I remembered I watched that movie in my AP American History class in high school. It was very uncomfortable for everyone watching it, and I can't believe that movie is that long. Ridiculous. | |
Yeah, Metropolis is the earliest on my shelf (filmed in 1925-26, released in early 1927 I think). It's really good though - get hold of the remastered version if you can - it incorporates some of the lost reels that were found in 2005, which add a fair bit to the story. | |
Yeah, I was going to mention Goebbel's propaganda films, but it's just horrible, depressing, and generally grim[1]. [1] Admittedly, seeing Einstein being referred to as "The Relativity Jew" is unintentionally hilarious in it's sheer absurdity | |
I watch a bunch of old movies, but the oldest is prolly The Kid (1921) which I watched when I myself was a kid. It's what made me look at old movies in a different light. | |
Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) by Georges Méliès. I love the moon's faces and the moon people. | |
Way Down East, it came out in 1920 I think, I was going to YT a trailer, but the full movie came up, ^.^ (.) [/quote] | |
Cocoon.... They don't get much older than the folks in that film. | |
I've seen a movie about the moon which was really old but can't remember the year (it was also really short). | |
Didn't put this in one of his game overthinkers videos? yes he did | |
I think it was Rashomon. I don't watch very many old movies. | |
Throne of Blood and Twelve Angry Men (both 1957) | |
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). I love German expressionism, it's awesome. | |
I agree they they made some of the best silent pictures. My favourite is Metropolis (1927), pushing it you an throw in M (1931) but as a talkie I'm not sure it counts. Another great silent is Napoléon (1927) | |
I've seen around 20 or so minutes of Metropolis (1927). It was quite entertaining as far as silent films go. The soundtrack is great, and I don't even like classical all that much. | |
