VERY old movie, must be from 30's or something...when did movies start? Silent film, with subtitles (black and white obviously) and I think originally done in German. It is about this working society and its like underground factories where people work like they are robots, and then the working class want to rise up against the very small higher class (it reminds me of George Orwell's 1984 in some ways.) Everything is very dark and steamy.
I remember one scene where a worker's task is to simply keep pushing this GIANT lever on what looks like a huge clock/meter and he has to keep doing it or things will explode or something.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis.
And to answer your other question, the very first films were released in the late 1890s, but it wasn't viewed as an artform until the 1910s, possibly starting with D.W. Griffith's controversial Birth of a Nation.

It sounds like you're talking about Metropolis (1927). There was a recent Japanese animation remake/homage (2002).

first films started in the 1890's, 1920's is referred to as the golden age of silent films, and 1930's and 40's is the sound era, have no idea what movie you are referring to
