Tora! Tora! Tora!

Bought it just to re-educate my wife's brothers and sisters after watching that stupid Pearl Harbor movie released recently.

You're right Dunedain, simply no comparison...

Not quite as old as bently's Chaplin but as I found out much later after purchase, that this was the first movie Milton Berle appeared in.

Is that Ralph Bakshi's Animated Adaptation from 1978? or Bass & Rankin's The Hobbit from 1977?

As for me, it's Hitchcock's 39 Steps

Gone with the Wind

and

Wizard of Oz

(Don't know which is older but GWTW is definitely longer!)

Oz was released 25 August, 1939 while GWTW was released 15 December, 1939.

So OZ is older by about 3.67 mos.

I did my disc inventory and found out that I have 39 steps and Lost Horizon which are older than my GWTW and WizOz.

Casablanca and A Streetcar Named Desire. Was never really a classics fan, but I'm beginning to become "educated" in the genre
