I knew you were young :^)

I myself am from 1981 but I have seen short films from 1895.

Yeah, you read that right, 127 years ago The very first film screenings took place that year. They were more like recordings of whatever took place in front of the camera ;^)

I don't consider a film from the 1980s old, perhaps one from the 1940s. Then again, I am a film snob and I studied ( a lot of old ) film(s). The 1970s is probably my favorite decade but I even have favorites from the 60s, 50s, 40s, 30s and even the 1920s.
