We’re all expecting them, watching them, talking about them, studying them, even. Films have been in our lives for some time now and we almost feel like they’re naturally part of our world and could not be without.

Seriously, can you imagine your world today without cinemas, big premiers, big superheroes or incredible animations? Can you? I think you can’t. Movies entertain us, inspire us, help us dream, help us express ourselves. But it wasn’t always that easy. Today, we’re going to look back at the most important years in film and what they brought and how the film industry built itself up to what we know today. Are you ready? Let’s go!

1902 – Georges Melies’s famous “A trip to the Moon” was out.

This one is a milestone in movie making and one that establishes Georges Melies as one of the fathers of cinema as we know today. Some regard this movie as the first ever science fiction picture due to one scene that will stay in the history of cinema for ever:  that moment when a capsule lands in the Moon’s eye. If you’ve watched Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo”, you know what we’re talking about.
