That's easy: Dumbo from 1941. After that Seven Samurai from 1954. After that Yojimbo from 1961 and then it takes up speed.

I also have a movie in my collection that I think is from 1916...it is Hell's Hinges, a silent western starring William S. Hart.  I'm not sure if that is the oldest movie in my collection.  It is in a 4-disc boxed set of films, many from the silent era.  I should pull it out and see if there are any earlier movies in there.

Alice in Wonderland (1951)

I have a collection.
It can be found here.
No need to check it often.
I update it only twice a year!

I have a few silent Hitchcock movies from the 1920s and 30s.  I'll have to check later.
One horror movie collection I have has some old ones too...I'll have to check on the dates later.
