What was the first ever silent film? What was the first film with sound?

Question

Please give me your source...I really want to know more about both films.

Answer 1

I believe the first silent film was

The Great TRain Robbery 1907

The first one with sound I believe was

The Jazz Singer 1927

Answer 2

The Lumières held their first private screening of projected motion pictures on March 22, 1895. Their first public screening of movies at which admission was charged was held on December 28, 1895, at Paris's Salon Indien du Grand Café. This historical screening was based on their first film, the 45-second-long Sortie de l'usine Lumière à Lyon (Workers Leaving the Lumière Factory), shot in 1894 with Léon Bouly's cinématographe device patented the previous year. The cinématographe—a three-in-one device that could record, develop, and project motion pictures—was further developed by the Lumières.

Even though Max and Emil Skladanowsky had offered projected moving images to a paying public one month earlier (November 1, 1895, in Berlin), film historians consider the Grand Café screening to be the true birth of the cinema as a commercial medium. The reason is the Skladanowsky brothers' screening was not a motion pictures film but a slideshow of animated still photographs which is not cinematography. See also Chris Marker's La Jetée which is based on the same process.

The real turning point came in late 1927, when Warners released The Jazz Singer, which was mostly silent but contained the first synchronized dialogue (and singing) in a feature film. It was a gargantuan success, as were follow-ups like Warners' The Lights of New York (1928), the first all-synchronized-sound feature. The early sound-on-disc processes such as Vitaphone were soon superseded by sound-on-film methods like Fox Movietone, DeForest Phonofilm, and RCA Photophone. The trend convinced the reluctant industry that "talking pictures", or "talkies," were the future....
