bestofthebunch Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 (edited) I took a history of film class at college, so we saw some really early "films" going way back, like I think to the 1870's or so. The one below is from 1902 and is the first science fiction movie made. Edited November 12, 2011 by bestofthebunch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ariadne Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Nosferatu (1922). I've seen A Trip to the Moon as well, but that's not a full feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecstasy Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've seen some old films in film class. But honestly, unless I look them up I have no idea.I would guess Birth of a Nation or something around that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jussslic Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Not 100% sure, but I'd say Gertie the Dinosaur (1914) is probably the earliest film I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfirebird2008 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Oldest I can remember seeing are Birth of a Nation (1915) and Nosferatu (1922). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lab276 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 If I'd seen all of Nosferatu, that would be it, but as it stands, probably Snow White. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
