My oldest dvd is "It Happened One Night" 1934 with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert; it is just so funny!
Yep -- they certainly don't make screwball comedies like they used to! In addition to "My Man Godfrey", I also have "His Girl Friday" (1940) and "You Can't Take it With You" (1938), but I have seen many others from 1935-40 that I have enjoyed, too -- but I just don't own them (yet). I think the closest "recent" movie was "Some Like It Hot." Classic!!

Frank Capra.
One of three films to win the top 5 academy awards; picture, director, actor, actress, screenplay. The other 2 One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975) and Silence of the Lambs (1991).
Old as in the copy of the film, or the film itself? You need to be more specific.
Because I have a DVD of Edison's film experiments from the 1890s, and VHS tapes of early silent comedies.
The oldest physical media I own is a bunch of VHS tapes from the mid-80s, when films in the public domain were cranked out on cheap tape by the millions and sold for a buck. "It's a Wonderful Life" was one of those, that is still in my collection.
Anyone own any films on 16mm? We used to be able to check these out from the public library, complete with projector.
I can't really compete with all these oldies, my collection is very small as I sold off all of my VHS tapes a long time ago. I have a few DVD's and the oldest one is probably Fried Green Tomatoes and then Forrest Gump.
"The Great Train Robery" with Buster Keiton it's a silent film
Laurel and Hardy episodes.
