what would you say is the oldest film you've watched in full that you can concretely say you at least "like"?
(short films, trick films, serials, and short-form cartoons shown in theaters are all applicable)

2001 space odyssey
Its a mad mad mad mad world
The Littlest Rebel
They should bring it back to theaters for the centennial
Duck Soup
Oh wait I watched Sherlock Jr yesterday.
it's a wonderful life
Freaks
King Kong, the teacher showed it during film class, and have to write essay about its techniques.
>Quality Ass
we have to go back
the maltese falcon
Stagecoach (1939), it's basically Mad Max
I've seen a few of The Marx Brothers films when I was younger and loved those but couldn't tell you which ones.
Casablanca, The Killing, Citizen Kane I suppose otherwise
1931 city light
1934 the gay divorcee
1938 carefree
1938 pygmallion
1939 wizard of oz
1940 the philadelphia story
*city lights
Nosferatu for sure, I watched it on a bunch of Benadryl when I was younger and it was comfy
baste
A Trip to the Moon from 1902. It's only 10 minutes long though.
Modern Times (1936).
In general I like British films from the 40s, 50s and 60s, mainly but not exclusively Ealing. My favourites are Whisky Galore! and Passport To Pimlico although all the Alec Guinness ones are great.
If you want a random rec of something to watch, I saw School For Scoundrels (1960) the other night and it was highly amusing. I refuse to watch the Billy Bob Thornton remake.
Weird how billy bob did bad news bears and school for scoundrels, two remakes of classic movies back to back
i've seen some plenty entertaining silent film slapstick stuff
Logan's Run (1976)
genuine question. why?
the plot is awful and its like a C-tier Star trek in the effects department
It's funny how many awards it won or was nominated for special effects and then the next year Star Wars came along and set everyone's expectations about ten levels higher.
I like a bunch of old films. Stuff by Fritz Lang doesn't even feel old or dated.
But the earliest shit I love start to finish is probably Laurel and Hardy. Stuff like Nosferatu is cool but there's a ton of boring shit in it.
the phantom carriage
Battleship Potemkin. Commie propaganda aside, it's really well shot
The cabinet of Dr Kaligari
Definitely OG Snow white but everyone watched that as a little kid, maybe its biased
Also watched Citizen Kane but I honestly don’t know if I liked it, it felt ok but kinda long-winded, literally “one of the movies of all time”
Fantasia.
I enjoyed watching the nukes wipe out a bunch of subhuman insectoid nips lol
>The Count of Monte Cristo (1934)
I'm only counting features. Lifeboat by Hitchwiener. 1944.
Birth of a Nation
The Adventures of Don Juan (1948)
The Kid
The Arrival Of The Train
Nosferatu
Feature: Fantômas: In the Shadow of the Guillotine (1913)
Short: The Haunted Castle (1896) or The Astronomer's Dream (1898)
All Quiet on the Western Front (1930)
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948)
yea that was good too iirc
Abbott and Costello go to the Jungle.
Battleship Potemkin is very interesting
I was surprised at how modern Citizen Kane (1941) felt, very enjoyable movie
Mr Smith Goes To Washington (1939) doesn't feel modern, but its about politicians being corrupt, so it's timeless in that regard.
