[kevin_1990]

What's the name of the Film and what year is it ?

I have 2 films that are the oldest in my collection James Deans movies 'East of Eden' and 'Rebel Without a Cause' both 1955 great movies starring a great actor who didn't have much time to shine!

[DJ Doena]

That's easy: Dumbo from 1941. After that Seven Samurai from 1954. After that Yojimbo from 1961 and then it takes up speed.

For me... the oldest I have in my collection is...

[Mustrum_Ridcully]

Metropolis: 1927
The Wizard of Oz: 1939
Die Feuerzangenbowle: 1941

[Rogmeister]

I also have a movie in my collection that I think is from 1916...it is Hell's Hinges, a silent western starring William S. Hart.  I'm not sure if that is the oldest movie in my collection.  It is in a 4-disc boxed set of films, many from the silent era.  I should pull it out and see if there are any earlier movies in there.
