Original Title: L'Arrivée d'un Train à la Ciotat
Directors: Auguste and Louis Lumière
Year: 1895
The first public exhibition of motion pictures occurred on 28th December 1895 when August Lumière and Louis Lumière (the Lumière Brothers) exhibited a selection of ten of their single-reel films to a paying audience at a Parisian cafe. 'Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat' is considered to be the first motion picture in modern history (altough more an experiment from the Lumière-brothers to use their 'invention' of film, it shows a train arriving at a passenger station). Popular legend has it that, when this film was shown, the first-night audience fled the cafe in terror, fearing being run over by the "approaching" train.
Most of the cast were members of the Lumière family and employees from the Lumière factory.

@reidrules45 its not the first film ever made. that title can not be credited to any single film due to the fact of how many came out around the same time. the lumière brothers were able to produce the first "projected films" but thats not the first film ever made....

All of these responses are rdiculous! Does no one besides me care that this is THE FIRST FILM EVER MADE??? You people should be ashamed! You're taking modern technology for granted, and not caring that this one simple film lead to transformers and all your other stupid movies!
