It took me months but eventually I managed to by on DVD all the way from Australia, made over 60 years ago by Dave Fliescher.......

Hoppity Goes to Town.

It pre dates Walt Disney and is a wonderful film for you kids.
I believe it is going to be re-released this year.
 
I bought a 4 dvd set of marx brothers movies on a whim a few years ago
I may even get around to watching them one day. :eek:
 
Grease.... remastered 2 disc edition with singalong

Leaves
 
M
Metropolis
The Cabinetr of Dr Calagri (spelling?)
Norseretfu
King Solomons temple (old B&W version)


All calssics and KST is a great adventure film.
 
Metropolis is the oldest, although this was a freebie from a newspaper. So my next in line would be my Hitchcock Box Set with 14 of his greatest movies. :smashin:
 
The Day the Earth stood still

Fantastic movie :thumbsup: and the pre-cursor for all things Sci-fi
 
Without checking the dates it either Oh Mr. Porter with Will Hay or Its A Wonderful Life.
 
Casablanca - 1942
Dead of Night - 1945

I've got nosferatu as well I'd forgotten about that one.
also I got the creature from the black lagoon and the original mummy with boris karloff as a two disc set.
I really must go through my collection and sort out any of the dvds I still haven't watched years after buying them ! :)
 
That reminds me, forgot about my Universal Horror Boxset with all the classics from the 30s as well as busts of Frankenstein, Dracula and the wolf man. I too haven't got round to watching any of them yet.
 
Hi,

Fritz Lang's Metropolis (whcih Brian_S mentioned), but I also own the region 1 edition of "The Good Old Naughty Days" which has material from the early part of the 1910's and 20's on it. Good documentary/film too! :)


Pooch
 
DW Griffith's The Birth Of A Nation (1915)
The Kid (1921) and a few other Chaplin films
Nosferatu (1922)
Blue Angel (1930)

I probably have a few more, but these are the ones I can remember at the moment.
 
The Wizard of Oz (1939). If it had'nt been for Gone With The Wind that film would have swept the board at the Oscar's.
 
Probably Captain Blood - 1935 if I remember rightly
 
Earliest: King Kong (1933)

other oldies:
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
Gone With The Wind (1939)
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Casablanca (1942)
Double Indemnity (1944)
 
on dvd it is...

Brief Encounter (1945)

then
Some like it Hot (1959)
North by Northwest (1959)
I don't know which came first.
