birth of a nation

am not even burger, but is on youtube

Metropolis

It was pretty interesting in retrospect how different things were back then

Bambi, I guess.

I have Birth of a Nation downloaded here

but it's 3 hours, it's worth it?

tfw about to say Dead of Night (1945)
tfw because of this post I realize mfing SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS was made in 1937.

So I guess that, and I'm a massive pleb.

Triumph of the Will

not an argument

battleship potemkin 1925

Hoosier Schoolboy.

It was a rather refreshing little thing, that got kinda dark at the end. A war hero, riddled with PTSD, drives a delivery truck directly through a barricade, then crashes in a ditch where he dies.

I particularly like how the teenage boy was slighted while at work (where he could do nothing in retaliation) then on the following school day immediately walloped the punk that did it.

Best movie I ever found in a parking lot.

The Anvil Hoarder (1930)

The Mikado from 1939 I think.

If that counts as a film.

Excluding short films, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). If you want to include short "films" then it would be Passage de Venus (1874)

Metropolis (1927)

fuck you I actually went and searched for that when this meme started

I made it most of the way through Jaws, but it was sooooo boring ugh

I tried the Godfather once, and it was slow af. I don't think there are very many good movies before 1995

>no short films

Shameful. Georges Méliès made pure cinéma

It's an excellent movie if you can watch it as a movie and not get butthurt over everything.

The Empire Strikes Back

Hard to say when most of his stuff is gone.
Anyway I saw the trip to the moon I think a version that was recently recolored, I think he lived in the wrong time, but I could not get into it, beside that I would say like another user snow white, but maybe I have seen Steamboat willie too, a cartoon that Disney really does not want to become public domain because....reasons I guess.

Excellent as in actually excellent, or excellent as in shit, but impressive for its time?

Seven Samurai, I think.

I think it's a good film all the way around. Certainly things are different for a silent film compared to a modern one.

It has a solid story, tells it well, some good visuals. I'm not sure what you base a movie on really.

I would in no way describe it as "shit" though.

The 1910 Frankenstein. Doesn't follow the book in the slightest aside from having a monster, but a very cool look at early cinema.

If that doesn't count, The Lost World 1925. First film to have the "big animal rampaging in a city" finale, which inspired King Kong and subsequently a load if 50s monster movies. Very impressive considering it was the first full length movie to use stop motion, yoy can see why it had such a big impact at the time. It puts King Kong into perspective too, it's amazing how much more sophisticated it is despite being made only 8 years later.

Star Wars (1977)

Nothing before that is worth watching, IMO.

Intolerance (1916). I lasted about 3 mins.

I saw the Star Wars prequels. Goddamn do old movies suck.

Mobile Suit Gundam movie 1

Maybe Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902). I've seen a bunch of silent films and clips here and there.

The oldest movie over like 30min I've seen is probably The Extraordinary Adventures of Mr. West in the Land of the Bolsheviks (1924)

oldest one that actually holds up for me would be Citizen Kane. I've seen M and a few Chaplin films of course

Calm down bro. You seem a little hot.

10,000 BC

La Sortie de l'Usine Lumière à Lyon
L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat
The Great Train Robbery
Le Voyage dans la Lune

Great train robbery is probably the earliest thing I'd class as an actual film, bt dubs this thread is literally hurting my soul

M (1931)
I intend to watch Metropolis at some time though.

This . I took a bunch of film courses in college so I have seen quite a bit. The oldest "feature length" film I have seen is probably Broken Blossoms.

Its kind of weird D. W. Griffith is probably thought of as just a KKK bigot, even though he later wrote and directed a Broken Blossoms, a movie about a Chinese protagonist, and an evil white guy which is has a neutral attitude towards Buddhism.

The Story of the Kelly Gang (1906)

Though only 11min of footage has survived, it's original run was over an hour.

Fun fact: actual Kelly Gang armour was used in the film.

Nosferatu probably

Duck Soup

Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari is the oldest I can remember watching all the way through
