Straightforward question, what's the oldest movie you've ever seen?

Mine is All Quite On The Western Front (1930).

I've watched a few silent Buster Keaton flicks from the 20's. Sherlock Jr was one of them.

This one from 1888 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0sSYvm_5o8

On another note, I have seen plenty of old ones from the 1910's and earlier.

Well...there's all those barely a narrative film shorts such as Blacksmith Scene from 1893 and all those humorous and quasi-documentary snippets circa 1889 n' such, but personally I don't really consider those films per se and tend to default with The Great Train Robbery from 1903 and A Trip to the Moon from 1902...although I remember coming across a series of stitched together scenes from the bible which I thought was older which I considered as qualifying but the creators and name of the film eludes me at the moment.

The Great Train Robbery (1903) (though its only 15 minutes long or so) As far as full length movies go, most of them I've seen have been from the 30's.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari which is a silent German film from 1920s.

Only Chaplin film i've watched was City Lights and that was 1930s.

The Gold Rush (1925). I might have seen older films, but that's the oldest one I've seen in its entirety.

I don't remember what it was called but it was this movie about these people who escape from a rebellion in China and crash land because the pilot was killed by a Chinese stowaway, and so after the crashed they found themselves at Shangrila.

Citizen kane from the 40's. Also Metropolis and the original King Kong, both from the late 20's.

Oh hey, Freedomfreak, I love that you're using the Brian Horton artwork of Lara for your sig.
I was using that for a sig I have at the Eidos forums.

Most Probably A Clockwork Orange, well the oldest movie that actually holds up by today's standards though A Space Odyssey might be a potential contender.

The oldest one I can think of right now is Stagecoach.

I'm certain I've seen older films though.
