Mostly I'm just curious, because I've been on an old movie kick lately. Few nights ago I watched Ziegfeld Girl which was released in 1941, but that is definitely not the oldest film I've ever watched.

Mary Pickford's Cinderella which was released in 1914, might be the oldest movie for me.

The oldest one I can think of at the moment is Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which premiered in 1937. I feel like I've definitely seen parts of other movies that might be older, but I can't think of any that I've watched all the way through.

@ghost: I too enjoy silent films. It's a shame though that a lot of the ladies films hasn't survive of the decades. Would like more of Theda Bara's work.

@Starlight: I think a lot of people's oldest is going to be one of Disney's earlier works.

@Bioshock: I still need to watch that actually. It's a stunning use of early special effects.

Nosferatu: Symphony of Horror. It's a German silent film from 1922. I might have watched older films but this is the only one I can remember right now. By today's stardards it's slow.

That charlie chaplin one where he adopts an actress's illegitimate baby off the street. 1925 iirc.

Truly a tragicomedy masterpiece.

@Eruca: The Kid?

The child from that film went on to be Uncle Fester in the Addams Family tv series.

@Colan: Fair enough, unless I find it first. Then it'll get watched when found. Finding older movies can be a big ass pain though. Most places are super ageist. Netflix, Hulu, Xfinity, the less legal means. They all hate the oldies.

@Eruca: Also the law that protects child actors from their parents stealing all their money is named after him. Because after The Kid his parents stole and spent everything. So he had years of nothing, til he got the Uncle Fester role.

@Eruca: That did happen to the Home Alone kid, it got so bad that he's been working at a Subway somewhere. Though he has been switching over to doing a lot of Youtube stuff with Red Letter Media. Lmao they even had him help review one of those made for TV Home Alone 'sequels'.

No I'm not, there are things I don't know however. So I've been reading like early Hollywood history stuff. Like there's a book about an unsolved murder from the silent film era.
