What decade is the oldest movie you watched this year from? - Blu-ray Forum

JMS1223 · 05-28-2023, 03:26 PM

I thought it would be interesting to hear what the oldest movie you watched this year so far was. It can be a movie you rewatched or one you have seen for the first time in your life. You may use this thread to specify the actual movie and year. The poll is more general and you just vote for which decade that movie is from.

The only rule is the movie must be at least 60 minutes in length and has to have been exhibited in a movie theater upon its original release.

I've also seen this but the poll states specifically this year so I can't count it. It also doesn't qualify under the at least 60 minutes rule.

OOPS! 1920's then. Saw a few this year, Ben Hur 1925, Nosferatu 1922, and The Lost World 1925.

I watched all of Chaplin's Keystones, Essanays and Mutuals at the start of the year. So 1910s

Boccaccio · 05-28-2023, 08:53 PM

The oldest movie I saw so far this year is Le Samourai (1967)

Mothravka · 05-28-2023, 09:46 PM

1910s. Watched Don’t Change Your Husband (1919) and The Sentimental Bloke (1919).

Al_The_Strange · 05-28-2023, 10:17 PM

Apparently, I watched a short animation from 1908 called Fantasmagorie.

Oldest feature-length film would be Waxworks (1924).

The Most Dangerous Game 1932
