I decided to watch historically significant films in chronological order. I already saw:
Roundhay Garden Scene (1888)
Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge (1888)
Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory in Lyon (1895)
L'arrivée d'un train en gare de La Ciotat (1895)
The Kiss (1896)
A Trip to the Moon (1902)
Can I have recommendations of what else should I watch? I think I'm more or less done with early short Lumiere films, and want to dive into 00s-10s of 20th century.

The funniest part about this post is, for the next three days while you're bored with nothing to do, you may find yourself ending up there.
The Great Train Robbery and D.W. Griffiths pre-Birth of a Nation work, especially 'A Corner in Wheat' and 'The Musketeers of Pig Alley'

Ty. Great Train Robbery is already on my list.

you need some German Expressionist kino m8
Inspired almost all the movies that came after, spawning famous genres such as Noir and Sci-fi
A few definitive ones:
Metropolis (1927)
The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920)
Nosferatu (1922)
The Golem (1920)
My personal favorite is The Last Laugh (1924) about a doorman losing his purpose in life
It's mostly visual (only one card used throughout) with a great score to go along with it
A few other silent-era classics:
Birth of a Nation (1925)
The Great Train Robbery (1903)
Battleship Potemkin (1925)
Man with a Movie Camera (1929)
Also be sure to check out a few of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin's movies

Voyage dans la lune is so shit, even for its time.
Manages to male 12 minutes feel like two hours.

Don't be too hard m8, it's from back before they realized they could move the camera around and cut to different shots within a scene
back then movies were pretty much just recordings of stage performances

This is a real film discussion on /tv/, can't you believe that? Or do you call anything but shitposting a meme? Go back to your Ghostbusters threads.
