kitik Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Do you mean seen on the big screen, or just on tv or in school? The oldest movie I have seen in a theater on the big screen is The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari (1920). It was really quite a pleasant surprise. Not only did we have some very nice music to accompany the movie, but the film itself had an amazing artistic quality to it. I now know why its considered such a classic.

Accursed Arachnid!™ Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Watched birth of a nation on tcm... Lol movie is unintentionally hilarious... Regardless of how ignorant they were in those days, BOAN is certainly super important in modern film history due to its advancement of the medium. But, yes, it's nigh unwatchable, especially in parts. Film critic Roger Ebert wrote, "Certainly The Birth of a Nation (1915) presents a challenge for modern audiences. Unaccustomed to silent films and uninterested in film history, they find it quaint and not to their taste. Those evolved enough to understand what they are looking at find the early and wartime scenes brilliant, but cringe during the postwar and Reconstruction scenes, which are racist in the ham-handed way of an old minstrel show or a vile comic pamphlet."
