Arrivée d'un train à Perrache (1896)
If you watch enough movies from 1895-1900 then you'll notice that a lot of them deal with trains. Trains pulling into a station. Cameras set up on trains to see them moving. Sometimes a camera on the track with a train coming towards it. These types of films were quite popular and this one here from the Lumiere Brothers is something that I'm sure people in 1896 loved. The camera is actually far from the tracks and we see people waiting and then the train finally pulls up. Obviously this film didn't change cinema history but it's still fascinating to watch these type of movies just because it's a popular film from the era. I'm really not sure why they were popular but there's certainly a lot of them out there.
