what is the oldest movie you have watched?

A while ago, back in middle school, as an elective, I took classic movies as a class. I thought it would be fun. I thought wrong. I love movies but some things are best left in the past. Now there were good ones like "Casablanca" which I, like almost every woman who has ever watched it, loved. Then we watched "War of the Worlds." It was horrible. Honestly it was almost impossible for my 14 year old mind to suffer through it. Coming from a generation of special effects and the beginnings of CG, it was just something that was almost impossible for me to look at seriously. Now as an adult, I have a new appreciation for that type of movie though. With all our technology, it is so easy to make those things seem believable. But just imagine having only some lights, some motors and smoke! How hard it must be to make something remotely believably futuristic. In a time when cell phones would have been a miracle marvel to the producers, they managed to make something that people looked at in awe and wonder and thought, "wow that's what the future looks like." It makes me wonder what people are going to say about movies like Avatar 60 years from now. Are they going to look at them and say "well they did the best with what they had but their technology was limited and this was what they ended up with." Isn't that a funny thought?

This Christmas I sat down and watched It's a Wonderful Life for the very first time. I'm not sure of the year it was made, but it must be old as it is in black and white instead of colour.

the oldest movie that i saw is . Stan and Bran :)) they are comedy Kings . they rule whatever u said or the critics :) love them

The oldest movies i have seen would have to be shirley temple movies. When she was little she maxde so many of them and they are excellent. She was such a talented little girl. the next oldest would have to be The wizard of oz and Gone with the end. All good movies. most of these are black and white.

Hi chimee, well I love the old black and white films but didn't really like the ones before they became talkies. Some of my favourite really old ones were with Greta Garbo, a great beauty in her day, and possibly Queen Christina or Camille may have been her oldest films. Camile is one of the ultimate all time weepies.

...Hi chiumee, Happy 2010. Welcome to the ranch, enjoy, it is a fun place to hang out. I was flipping around the television, as is my normal routine, and I saw an old looking cowboy picture. It caught my eye because of the way it appeared, as if it was colored or recolored or just the look of the picture. So I checked to see when it was filmed, it was done in 1931, I was kind of shocked, why I don't know. I have seen some very old black and white movies which I do like a lot, especially the mysteries. Why this movie with that date made me look twice I don't know. Maybe it was because I thought it should have been in black and white, I really don't know. Just chimming in. Take care.

I cannot think of any one black and white movie I've seen. Most of the old movies I've watched are colored even if they are really old. Anyway, the oldest movie I've seen is "The Sound of Music". I remember when we were still kids, our parents would let us watch it whenever it's shown on TV. My dad even bought a DVD of it which I also let my daughter watch just recently.

well. i hav got a collection of hitchcock movies which are from the 50s.. rear window, psycho, vertigo.. all nice movies..

Hi chiumee,The oldest movie i've ever seen was the Ten commandments.It was my all time favorite movie.A spiritual movie that makes me inspired in serving Our lord God,with all my heart and soul.Happy new year to you and to your family.Good Luck!

Thinking of it the oldest movie I have seen is Bronenosets Potyomkin. Is a Russian movie from the year 1925. Is mute and in black and white. Maybe it's because I like classic things, but I enjoyed watching the movie.

i always hear and see the old movies and the old song,just like bee gees and see the just like 007 james bond or bruce lee movies and more,because i think thats movies awesome i think,maybe they didntwantto see the oldest movies but i very like and i never bored to see the movies

I'm not sure how old the movies are. But I'm sure its pretty old since the actors are quite old at present. The two classic movies that I find interesting to watch all over again are "Barefoot in the Park" and Ice Castle. If you want to fall inlove all over again, I recommend this two movies.

The oldest movie I have ever watched was cool hand luke which came out some time in the early seventy's I think. I am 29 so i'm not too sure but it's my husbands favorite movie from when he was a kid.

"mrs minerva" i think as i am sure it was made during the second world war.

I do not remember any specific movies. However, I vaguely recall watching some films from around the 1930s in school. They might have been older, put on a projector. So that was an interesting experience. Actually, come to think of it, a long time ago, I remember seeing part of a silent film on television. So that would have to be older but I cannot remember much more than that.
