Want to see one of those pieces of art that has inspired, pretty much, everything that came after it? A Trip to the Moon will be familiar, even if you haven't seen it. It's imagery has cropped up in adverts, music videos and , well, just about everywhere. It's a very short film a...( read more)
Probably the first motion picture with a story. Very resourceful and imaginative.
Conisdering the time and the mental situation and how everybody thinked and believed at the time this movie was made, i must say that Le Voyage Dans La Lune is one hell of an imaginative piece of art. Although very short but Georges Melies knew how to make those 11 minutes unforg...( read more)
i was honestly amazed at what they could do 105 years ago! i also noticed how much human knowledge has changed over that time.
The very first true sci-fi movie. A very genius idea at that time. Back in 1902 they had no idea on how to get to the moon, it is just a fantasy for them, but they're fantasy is a dream come true when men can really travel to the moon. They had good effects (such as the gunpowder...( read more)

Magic crystallized on film. It captures the vision of an age of unrestrained imagination before criticism had tamed the cinematographic imagination to earthly proportions. The dreamlike, almost surreal atmosphere that we nowadays judge as being naive shows the daring heights of classical sci fi.
