Yeah, you're obviously not going to get as much that's as old, but I think I'd rather use something like IMDB's top 250 - https://www.imdb.com/chart/top/.
Maybe throw some much older ones in on some other basis - e.g. a couple of Christmases ago I discovered there have been a lot of adaptations of 'Oliver[!] [Twist]', and the one that I considered 'the' one (i.e. that I watched as a child, basically) was far from the first; we watched a few of the much older ones, spanning 1920-40ish iirc, quite interesting.
