First Movie

The first short ever made, "Strongman Sandow," was filmed in 1880. The first short with an actual storry line was "The Great Train Robbery" in 1903, and the first feature length film was "The Story of the Kelly Gang" in 1906. The first movie presented in color was "The World, the Flesh and the Devil," in 1914. Here are some pictures from these movies...

    Pretty good info on the movies. I remember Harry Belafonte and Inger Stevens but I didn't know that they were that old or maybe it's just me that's old.

    I'm so glad movies are of much better quality these days. My dad always makes me watch these black and white movies and I cant stand it!
