Guys, don't be so rude! And as for you, SEOPACK, I would recommend to be more polite to senior members. It's a friendly community and I suggest you to behave well here. And according to your question the first movie was a movie by Lumiere brothers.
No such thing as senior members, however for such a basic question I'd go to Google or IMDB rather than an internet marketing forum.
I think Roundhay Garden Scene is an 1888 short film directed by inventor Louis Le Prince. It was recorded at 12 frames per second, runs for approximately two seconds and is the oldest surviving film.
To be fair this is a Movie Discussion topic so he had every right to ask the question... on the flip slide politeness is never difficult I think this might help you guys! The First Motion Picture Ever Made - The Horse In Motion (1878) First Home Movie Ever Made - Roundhay Garden Scene (1888) First Movie Ever Shot (U.S.A.) - Monkeyshines No. 1 (1889 or 1890) The First Copyrighted Movie Ever Made - Fred Ott's Sneeze (1893-4) First Movie Ever Made for Projection -- Workers Leaving the Lumiere Factory (1895) First Motion Picture Projected for an Audience - Berlin Wintergarten Novelty Program (1895)
