What's the oldest BD (by year of theatrical release) in your collection?

[avstraq]

What's the oldest BD in your collection? And I don't mean which was the first one you bought, but that whose film was released the earliest. You can even do Oldest 3 or Oldest 5 if you want to. If you track your collection here on Blu-ray.com, you can just sort your movies by Production Year. (If you want, you can even say what year you were born, so we can see if there is a correlation between age and BDs owned.)

Here are my oldest 10:

A Trip to the Moon (1902)
Battleship Potemkin (1925)
The General (1926)
Metropolis (1927)
Wings (1927)
King Kong (1933)
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)
Snow White (1937)
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Pinocchio (1940)

I just got A Trip to The Moon last week. 3Camels alerted me to a price drop on Amazon ($20.88) that went back up as soon as I bought it. I think that may be the oldest movie released on Blu.

I was born in 1973.

Snow White wins for me.

Snow White- 1937
Wizard of Oz- 1939

The Day the Earth Stood Still that came with the remake is my oldest I have.


Rocky (76) and Superman: The Movie (78) are my two oldest I actually bought.

Thanks for the quick replies, fellas. I've got a feeling Snow White is gonna be the oldest for a lot of people.

Would've been interesting to know what year you guys were born.

1986. So my oldest Blu-Rays are 59 years older than me.

i don't collect, but the oldest film i've seen is Oz from 1939. Unless you count that silent film on the There Will Be Blood disc. I find that with the majority of films released prior to the late 1950s or so I enjoy them more as a historical artifact than something that really speaks to me, so i don't purchase them, but I appreciate them being restored nonetheless.

Wow! Very interesting indeed. What we have here on the forum is a varied bunch of people.

I have The General too! Great blind buy! After that, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind (another blind buy for me) are probably my next older films in my BD library.

Tie between Oz and Snow White.

[donaldheil]

"Sunrise".

"Pinocchio" in second place.

Maybe someday we will have some films by the Lumiére Brothers in BD. That would be the oldest.

By the way, I'm 92.

Just kidding. I'm 40.
