A Trip to the Moon (1902) - Georges Méliès was a stage magician who realized the camera was the ultimate wand. This is fourteen minutes of pure, hand-tinted lunacy that threw a rocket into the eye of the man in the moon and changed the world forever. It’s a fever dream of dancing stars, exploding aliens, and Victorian scientists in top hats. Before there were blockbusters, there was this—a defiant explosion of imagination that proved cinema wasn’t just a gimmick, but a gateway to the impossible.
