Triumph of the Will
The Birth of a Nation
Battleship Potemkin
Unironically the Roundhay Garden Scene. It's fucking crazy we have actual video footage of the late 19th century. To me at least.
Gone with the wind
79 years, suck my dick op
So did she just grow into her face, or was plastic surgery back then better than I always assumed?
cosmetic surgery was definitely a thing, apparently many women wanted to look like Myrna Loy
That’s a little spooky
King Kong of course. Nosferatu is a close second.
the only one any of us has seen is Wizard of Oz because grandmama had it
Sunrise
Чeлoвeк c кинoaппapaтoм of course
night of the hunter
not sure if its 80+
we had a 1940s thread that almost reached bump limit a few nights ago
Damn. I want to cum on her face.
i wonder if those people are still alive
same
Metropolis
Isn't it false advertising to have posters in color when the films are in black and white?
Great movie.
Retroactively maybe, but people had no concept of movies with color so the expectations were black and white by default.
Errol Flynn is my favorite actor, and this is definitely his best movie. Dodge City comes close though
pleas post the camera sequence that goes over al the tables.
cant remember rhe name and im super drunk thx
Technicolor had been around since 1916
The Testament of Dr Mabuse (1931)
One of my favourite films ever, I just love how it gets that mystery athmosphere just right, all the while still being comfy af.
The Old Dark House (1932)
m.imdb.com
The best horror movie you've never seen. I also was shocked by how good The Hidden Hand is from that era, it's on YT, and fucking spooky funny
I guess I'll go with "It happened one night" surprising how well it still works all these decades later.
It's from Wings.
you can say 'as fuck' on the internet, twitter bitch.
But color was an exception until the mid-50s. Color films were specifically advertized as such.
Wings (1927)

3 penny opera in German, lots of great music. & Mack is the rare villain type who wins in the end.
It's on YT
thank you....absolutely amazing
Why are all old movies either about crime or romance?
There's always this faggot. Yes it existed as do many technology now that exists, but it doesn't mean it was widespread.
Check out these user, same vibe, super well crafted and not boring
It still existed though, so people definitely had a "concept" of color movies. Some of the most popular American films of the thirties were in color
I'm just too lazy to type it out tbqhwy
also don't call me twitter bitch, it's one thing to insult me, but that's going way too far
Harry Knowles's favorite of all time, so you know it's kino.
A lot of silent films are great. The Thief of Baghdad is pretty much a special effects action movie from today. The first popcorn movie. Mindless chase scenes and action all the way through.
I liked The Old Dark House a lot, it was awfully clever an innovative.
so thats how they did it very clever
I think the oldest surviving actress is Olivia de Havilland.
are you soft in the head
Huh? There were war movies, westerns, madcap comedies, adventure films, and plenty else
Agreed, also I'm not that other user. I'm very interested in early color films.
is that keanu reeves
Favorite film period.
What is your problem? My response was to this post which clearly states that "people had no concept of movies" which is is incorrect. Whether or not it was "widespread" is completely irrelevant
will do, thanks m8
Abel Gance’s Napoleon (1927)
so you're saying the curse is REAL???
Can't find a screenshot right now, but I loved that scene with the swords stuck in the sand.
Absolute kino sword fight, especially with the shadows being projected onto the wall.
Anyone recall an early B&W that was known for a fantastic tracking shot that started with a NYC city view & the camera slowly pans onto a building, then on a window of the building, then a huge office floor with rows of desks and then on to the office drone the movie is about?
I saw it on some doc about film history years & years ago.
pic unrelated
"modern" cinema was more or less established by the mid to late teens. Check out The Spiders by Fritz Lang. It's like a proto-Indiana Jones. Top-tier silent funkino.
Found it.
The Crowd

Early Marx Bros. are bestest Marx Bros.
I have difficulty getting immersed in silent films, something about the lack of dialogue with classical music playing puts me out like Ambien. I can respect the craft that goes into but I just can't enjoy the experience
why did swashbuckling and adventure kino die :(
The one with the dinosaur bone
modern action blockbusters took over in the 80s, but there were still some like Mask of Zorro
King Kong by far.
muh tulips
It's a different language, just like with the overacting, seems ridiculous to people, but it's just the convention of the day. It's an acquired taste nowadays.
>tfw my local cinematheque has occasional screenings with live piano accompaniment
>tfw once even got to see Die Nibelungen with orchestra, only time I've ever seen a silent film with live orchestra
I almost cried from the beauty of it. Sound film was a mistake.
LotR was prolly the last great comfy adventurekino.
I hold abusive use of digital FX as largely responsible for killing comfykinos
My nigga.
>1920 was almost 100 years ago
feel old yet?
Yeah, I still try watching a silent movie every once in a while, looking for the one film that will turn me on to them. The Cat and the Canary was the last attempt, it was okay.
That said I love early talkies, especially the raunchy pre code movies
YES! It's still great. I could watch vintage NYC harbor footage all day.
youtu.be
Fantasia
Watched it when I was little, gave me a lifelong appreciation for based Tchaikovsky and lewd ass fairies
Outward Bound (1930)
All Quiet on the Western Front stylistically and artistically hasn't aged a day. What I mean is that even though the book/adaptation is World War 1, the film itself could easily pass for a modern anti-war artsy kino if not for the physical quality of the film, cameras and it being in black and white.
The TV movie adaptation from the 70's is basically a shot for shot remake and re-adaptation which proves this.
>The Crowd
Dat Maureen O'Sullivan.
Also my favorite actor under 80 years old.
she is my waifu
l-lewd
Either City Lights or The Kid, Vampyr is also a contender.
it even has a nude scene, although it isn't really her it's some pro swimmer
Wow they thought 137 was dystopian and now you can be 1 employee in 10000s
His Girl Friday unironically
I'll show myself out.
great movie, Bringing Up Baby is better tho
H*LY R*DDIT BATM*N
All the Hal Roach "Our Gang" shorts.
Fuck MGM's Alfalfa & the Little Rascals though.
Call me an autist or whatever but I can't watch old movies because it makes me sad to remember that they're all dead.
that's pretty dumb not gonna lie, they are characters in a movie so in a way they are immortal as long as the film is in circulation
La Règle du Jeu
Think of it this way, because of film they are now immortal, young and beautiful.
Louise Brooks? She was one hot sloot
Absolute fucking kino
You've Got Mail is better
Y e s

Lmao die u boomer
Arsenic and Old Lace by a mile. That movie holds up.
You can't meet them, get their autograph and wait for their next movie if you like them a lot.
I’ve only seen Captain Blood, but that movie rocked
There are so many jokes per minute I find it exhausting, like I know it's a great movie but it's too much. Can't watch it all in one setting
If you enjoyed Captain Blood you will also love his other films. The Sea Hawk, Desperate Journey, Gentleman Jim (Flynn's personal favorite) and They Died With Their Boots On
I’ll check them out. Thanks, user

I'd love to open her Pandora's Box, if you catch my kine lingo.

good movie
Alexander Nevsky. I know it's a Soviet propaganda film, but I just feel so comfy watching the Teuton crusaders burn orthodox children alive.
Also submit to Rome or your mother will burn in hell for an eternity.
imagine watching something that old lmfao
The Wizard of Oz
oldest flick I've watched is citizen kane
>that nose
This post is honestly pretty reddit.
Man With Movie Camera
>Those horns
hmmmmm
I unironically think Metropolis is one of the top 5 best films ever made
Probably something by Orson Welles if they go back that far
This one probably
Based taste
Orson Welles' first film was only made 78 years ago. You have to go back (in time).
You mean from the 1930's? City Lights.
1930s or earlier obviously you fucking brainlet
>The Old Dark House
I didn't think it was a hidden masterpiece like some say, but it is good. I just wish there was more to it.
>knowing math
Fuck you, it's a weirdly worded question anyway.
No need to be rude, we're all friends here
Black Panther
the cabinet of dr caligari
Fuck you Anonymous you suck dick and balls
Prime Mae West.
>tfw you couldn't save her
March of the wooden soldiers aka Babes in Toyland
It's 77 years old
It's not 80 years old, but I love watching old show reruns. Bonanza, The Rifleman, Gunsmoke, Daniel Boone, Andy Griffin, Little House on the Prairie. They're comfy. I really like the cheesy fights.
Phantom Carriage.
Nosferatu is twice the lenght it should be.King Kong is great tho.
This

the passion of joan of arc is a -very- close second

AND
REDPILLED
I don't know about films that old but Jason And The Argonauts is fucking sick as fuck.
*ahem*
Same for me except silent comedis.They should have only made those tbf.
Crimson Pirate is my favorite from that era
Unironically "A Trip to the Moon." I can't think of anything else I like that qualifies.
It Happened One Night
M
I liked Gone with the Wind. Recently I also watched the shorts by Van Buren of Felix the Cat from 1936. They were nice.
DESPITE APPEARING TO BE A TRITE ANSWER: "METROPOLIS" —IT IS THE PERFECT "MOVIE", AND IT IS WHAT IT IS THANKS TO THE UNDERRATED AND UNDERMINED GENIUS OF THEA VON HARBOU; FRITZ LANG OWES AT LEAST HALF OF HIS SUCCESS AS AN AUTEUR TO THEA VON HARBOU.
Definitely la grande illusion
and #2 = Nosferatu
Zero for Conduct
The Blood of a Poet
I had a crush on her as a kid
dracula
wish lugosi did a sequel
A Trip to the Moon.
Fritz Lang's "M" -- the first and best film about a serial killer.
also angels with dirty faces
Hmmm. Really can't choice.
Listen, Darling (1938).
Everybody Sing (1938).
I remember seeing this panel before, I think it had something to to with Calvin being on adderall or ritalin or something? Implying he had the ‘tism I guess, and the pic being some kind of ad or warning against the meds iirc. Or it could have been an edit or shop I guess
Ninotchka (1939)
Trouble in Paradise
