In 1877 Charles Emile Reynaud invented the Praxinoscope, a mirrored drum that gives the illusion of movement using strips of pictures.
In 1881 William Kennedy Laurie Dickson designed the Kinetoscope, a kind of movie projector and ran a trial of a movie called 'Monkeyshines'.
A year after Thomas Edison's invention of the Kinetoscope the Holland Brothers opened the first Kinetoscope Parlor in New York. This was the first commercial exhibition of movies.
In 1895 Louis and Auguste Lumiere patented Cinematographe, a device that could project movies to several spectators at the same time. December 28 1895 they presented the first commercial display of a movie to an audience, running 20 minutes, consisting of 10 short stories.
'The Great Train Robbery' (1903) is considered to be the first real full length movie, the first narrative Western film with a storyline, and the first real smash hit.

march 3, 1915, D.W. Griffith made, Birth of a nation, starring Lilian Gish. That is if were talking about motion pictures, and not still frame photographic pictures. This was going on back in the late 1800's...hope that helped.

"I Spit On Your Grave".
The actors are no-names, not worth mentioning. It's one of those films you see and think "I want my 2 hours back".
