I'm thinking the famous "Sneeze" short. Thanks. -Shirl Post a Reply The following replies are owned by whoever posted them: Re: Edison flicks by Erin Barrett on 2000/10/27 04:53:45 GMT-4 Hi, Shirl, Check out this chronological listing of Edison's films at http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/edhtml/edmvchrn.html . Edison's first film, it appears, was called "Dickson Greeting" and beat his well-known "Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze" by 3 years. I haven't watched many of the movies listed but "Cats Boxing," alone is worth a visit to the site.

For a little Hallowe'en gore, watch "The Execution of Mary, Queen of Scots" on the same site--beauty being in the eye of the beheader, I suppose. [ Reply to This ]
