'A trip to the Moon' by Georges Melies is amazing. I still love this film purely because it is from 1902, which I think is absolutely amazing! I also love it because it is a series of short comedy sketches, all following a main storyline - a bunch of scientists build a way of getting to the moon, land in the moons eye, see some amazing moon sights, are attacked and taken hostage by some selenites, before fighting their way out and escaping back to Earth where they are greeted as heroes. Made in 1902!!! Genius!!!
I think that this movie should be seen by anyone with any interest whatsoever in film, because it really is amazing that we have a film from such a long time ago, and it is entertaining as a bonus.
