Read that as Pokémon.

I've seen Nosferatu, and a bunch of Charlie Chaplin (Earliest I've seen was the Kid, ubless yuo count shorts).

Earliest I watch regularly are the Marx Brothers films, starting with the Cocoanuts in 29.

I was raised on a lot of relatively early film.

I've seen a bunch of old stuff. Those very brief clips from the 19th century, short flicks from the early 20th century like Le voyage dans la lune and The Great Train Robbery. As for longer films, I think Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari is the earliest one I've seen, though I plan on watching some earlier ones sometime. You sort of have to be in the right mood to watch full length silent films.

I've seen a few original Oswald the Lucky Rabbit from 1927 and the early 30s. Though I have a feeling I'll be watching much older stuff when I take film history I next semester.

I think it's Citizen Kane, which is from 1941. Loved that movie, and visually I think it stood the test of time remarkably well, the only exception being the bits with the interviews.

Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902) by Georges Méliès.
That's probably my oldest as well.
As far as my personal collection goes I have "Trapped by the Mormons. " (1922) and "Metropolis" (1927)

After that it's pretty much the complete Marx Brothers and Charlie Chaplain collection which run from the late 20's to the mid to late 30's.

Probably The Wizard of Oz (1939)

I hate Black and White movies...they bore me to tears. I may have seen an older movie but I can't think of it right now.

Being a lifelong silent movie fan, I've seen some of Hollywood's very earliest output, including a short from 1914 entitled "Making a Living" - the first movie to star Charlie Chaplin.

I know I've seen some Harold Lloyd flicks that were even older, but I can't remember which ones.

Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat (1895)

It's pretty short, but the oldest I've seen.

I've seen Metropolis (1927) too and it's a lot longer.
