History

The First Movies

Do you like seeing people in videos that are from the beginning of movie making? I am fascinated with this stuff. It is hard to believe that some of these movies are over 100 years old. I believe that these films give us an insight into the way people lived back then. Can you imagine if they would have had movies back in the days when the pyramids were being built? It certainly would have answered a a lot of questions for us. When I look at these movies it is like watching ghosts from our past perform for us. I hope you like the following original Edison movies. They range in size from a couple of megs to about 40. You will need a fast Internet connection to view them.

I hope you enjoyed this collection of ancient Edison movies, if you did, drop me a line and I will put more up. As you can see, Edison was taking movies of everything and who could blame him? The movie camera was a new invention and thanks to Edison, we now have a glimpse of how people lived, looked and recreated at the turn of the last century.
