What is the oldest film you've seen?

never liked Melies. today he feels like an outmoded magician rather than a filmmaker.

>1902
They made kinos back then?

Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) it's 2 seconds long film

based and zoomerpilled

iktfb. stay gold user

I have literally never watched a movie

Some mutoscope film from the mid 19th century at a museum.

probably Pulp Fiction

Makes me wonder how much you would fuck with people's minds of you took some 1800's era people and screened avatar in IMAX 3D for them.
I mean people were unironically scared they were going to get shot, or run over by a train.

Fuck movies, put them in VR.

forrest gump idk

Well to be fair no one had ever seen a gun fired from that perspective before without dying, must have been weird.

Tell you what. Watch this and you've officially seen the first motion picture ever made. It was made in 1878

That looks dumb as hell

La Sortie de l'usine Lumière à Lyon
Truly a masterpiece, that one

The Lost Weekend (1945). Technically Metropolis but didn't finish because as stoned and passed out from boredom.

Better quality.

Lol it even has a poster and plot.

>With the help of a magic cauldron, Mephistopheles conjures up a variety of supernatural characters.

But there are 2 knights? that enter the mansion and are hunted by the creatures that Mephistopheles conjures, right?

Holy shit look at how many short did that Méliès guy.

He did some interesting stuff. Here's the man with the rubber head

>A chemist carries out a bizarre experiment with his own head.
How was his head and he didn't die when it exploded?

It was supposed to be someone else. All french men looked alike in those days.

So this is the first short movie in history?

L'Inferno. Pretty fantastic to be honest.

I think this is the oldest video ever.

>Roundhay Garden Scene is an 1888 short film directed by French inventor Louis Le Prince. It was recorded at 12 frames per second and runs for 2.11 seconds. It is the oldest surviving film in existence, noted by the Guinness Book of Records.

>According to Le Prince's son, Adolphe, it was filmed at Oakwood Grange, the home of Joseph and Sarah Whitley, in Roundhay, Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire, United Kingdom on October 14, 1888.

>It features Adolphe Le Prince,Sarah Whitley, Joseph Whitley and Harriet Hartley in the garden, walking around. Note that Sarah is walking backwards as she turns around, and that Joseph's coat tails are flying as he also is turning.Sarah Whitley was Le Prince's mother-in-law being the mother of John Whitley and Le Prince's wife Elizabeth Whitley LePrince. Sarah Whitley died the day after the scene was taken.

No, this one was made in 1878

The oldest short was The Arrival of a Train (1896)
The oldest film with an actual storyline was the same as you
The oldest feature was Nosferatu (1922)

I ran really fast past some cave paintings once

Is the jockey black or is the low quality of the camera?

>no one had ever seen a gun fired from that perspective before without dying
Yeah because every shot is a kill shot and blank rounds are totally a new invention.

probably the lighting. (or lack of lighting)

I'd be more concerned about the collapse of morals when you have people like these two acting so shamelessly on film

You know exactly what he meant you stupid fucking faggot bitch

Isn't that one a series of photos taken on individual plates rather than a true film?

I'm sorry if my pointing out the stupidity of that post offended you.

>The oldest feature was Nosferatu (1922)
Birth of a Nation is from 1915.

>watching old movies
Lmao they're so boring and the effects are shit, plus any made like before 50s had no colour.

Yes but I still think we need to count it.

Photographs are photographs whether they are done on glass panes, film, or digital.

All film is nothing but a series of images.

Even modern film uses multiple cameras to film certain effects.

They probably weren't that scared. It's just like VR, or something like Five Nights at Freddies. In 200 years, they'll say "people were literally afraid the toy bear on the computer screen was going to KILL them - see the videos of them jumping out of their seats and screaming."

At least read the OP before responding.

I did and then I immediately forgot apparently.

Any idea what was the first moving image captured on a reel of film?

Once upon a time in Hollywood

Whats the oldest movie that is actually good?

Citizen Kane

Birth of a nation

1892 Edison and Dickson invent the first motion picture camera.

Lumiere brothers short films from c. 1895.

Celluloid movie film was available in 1889. I'm not sure what the first use of it was.

Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze (1894)

Technically not shot on film though. It was a silver cylinder that I assume worked like a daguerreotype.

Has anyone here watched any pornograpy from the early days of film? I've seen the soft "what the butler saw" type stuff but I've never actually checked out the real porn.

Boom, now you’ve all seen it.
Now this thread never needs to be made again

I'm curious about this too. Where would you even go to find it? For research purposes of course.

I mean I've seen vintage threads on /gif/, Yea Forums, and /hc/ but never thought much more of it than a novelty.
I've never been one of those people who think tits didn't exist until the 60's and the first cave paintings are people fucking (other people, and animals).
Humanity has been horny as shit and thinking about titties and ass since our ancestors started walking upright.

You got his point cocksucker

You're a really fun guy. I bet you get invited to lots of parties.

Well if it's just any film than probably one of the lumiere brothers clips, but if we're talking feature length than probably something from the 50's, I know I've seen The Ten Commandments in its entirety while paying close attention. I've been wanting to get into older stuff for a while now, not sure where to start.

I'm not so sure about that
>One man viewing the film (Birth of a Nation) was so moved by the scene where Flora Cameron flees Gus to avoid being raped that he took out his handgun and began firing at the screen in an effort to help her.[93]

Sherlock Jr. (1924)

>I can't come up with a comeback so I'll just repost what he said but with a silly picture

Who was he shooting at?

Whoa dude, is that a wojak edit with an iphone file name and green text?
That's pretty fucking unique and creative.
I hope you greentext this post while avatarfagging next.

The oldest short I've seen is probably Arrival of a Train. I've seen stills from earlier shorts but never actually watched them.
The oldest feature I've ever seen is Cabiria (1914), which was kino.

Dr. Strangelove

That people being scared by the train movie is a exaggerated. I don't recall the document where it was in, but they did state, there are no real records of that ever happening. They were more like awestruck by it if anything.

Harold LLoyd in "Safety Last" 1923.

youtube.com/watch?v=QEcTjhUN_7U

Yeah, it was probably all just hype. Like people fainting at The Exorcist and whatnot.

nobody. it was a single shot had absolutely nothing to do with the story, and was supposed to be shown in the beginning or end of the film. some have said that the intention was to intensify the audience's identification with the train passengers who are held up by the robbers in the film.

The Birth of a Nation

What's his problem, I'm whiter than rice on a paper plate in a snow storm and even I can manage a 6 inch vertical leap.

L'Inferno

(You)

There's no floor below him.

seven samurai, but I always wanted to watch some of those older movies in black and white where women look like their from another dimension with the weird hairstyles, just never got to actually do it

>what is the oldest film you've seen?
Iron man II

Dude shut the fuck up

Rude!

Now you can all say you’ve seen the first movie

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. Watch it, it has aged like a fine wine.

The first movie was actually that horse fucking your mom, but everyone got together and thought it was in bad taste to show you.
She takes it to the hilt.

Nice try asshats. Feauture films didnt start until like 1913

No. They made visual experiments

Le Cochon Danseur
(1907)

Jokes on you, I am a horse

Metropolis

There's cunny on that Guy's wikipedia page, just sayin

Birth of a Nation

Not sure whether Great Train Robbery or Noaferatu was made first, but it’s one of those two.

That's such a dumbshit thing to say if you know anything about early cinema.

>magician
I mean that's literally what a director is. It isn't called movie magic for nothing.

he always used synthetic sets and most of his shorts were glorified parlour tricks. as Bazin said, he "saw the cinema as nothing more than a refinement of the marvels of the theatre."

Kek I just watched this in my History of the motion picture class.

There was a museum out west somewhere (sorry don't remember where I was there years ago as a teen) that actually had a small collection of ye olde porn on display. It was as good to look at as seeing some 5/10 pig trying to act sexy in front of a camera; I guess it was before women learned about using angles, lens, lighting and makeup to their advantage.

Rope (1948)

You know, I was under the impression that each generation keeps getting dumber, but now I'm starting to think people have always been retarded.

The first silent film I watched is The Wind. I watched it because it has mai waifu. The oldest is maybe Intolerance or some Buster Keaton's work.

the gold rush (1925)

The difference now is that thanks to the internet you get to hear every dumbass opinion they have about everything all the time everywhere.

Yeah but he came out of photographic manipulation and visual illusion and employed these techniques in his work (due to the limitations of early cinematic technology). It's reductive to say that his work is too reflective of the medium he was working in.
