First Kientoscope parlor opens
This is the first comparable "movie theater" of the 1800's. The parlor opens in Broadway (New York Duh). Spectators can watch films for 25 cents! But these films where generally like 30-60 seconds long and had no sound. Often just something we'd YouTube these days. Nothing has changed. -

This movie called "The Great Train Robbery, was 12 minutes long and created by Edwin S. Porter. The movie was the first to have a story line within it instead of just some random image sequence. This movie was the first of many westerns! -

First James Bond movie! (No one cares but me)
Ha, I know no one is really going to care about this but I love the james bond franchise so this is really here for my own personal ammusment. October 5th 1962 must have been an amazing day in history. Dr. No (which is the first bond movie!) is unleased to the world! James Bond is the longest running film franchise in history so RESPECT :P -
Movie Ratings placed
For whatever reason, we feel like we have to make movies that not everyone can enjoy in all stages of life. So we have to rate them so parents know what there little boogers are watching. This system is used to advise parents and the public of what they'll be seeing. -
