 So with a new year comes a certain to fail new list attempt. As I doubled my first 300 list to 600, this (after a challenge from Matty) was originally going to double that to 1200. Narrowing the list down seemed to take an age, so I've removed the number limit and I'm just going to go chronologically through the films I love. I'm betting the list stalls at 1908.

 1. Demolishing and Building up the Star Theatre



1901
Director: F.S. Armitage

Time-lapse photography is nothing new today, but it can still be used to startling effect even now when we've all had so much time to become accustomed to it. So think how eerie and how odd a film like this must have been in 1901. Armitage captured the destruction of the Star Theatre in New York, taking exposures every several minutes over the course of a month as the theatre was slowly taken apart. If it was just of note for its early technical accomplishments, I wouldn't rate it so highly. But even as aloof as the film is, it manages to capture something quite poignant in the sadness of passing time, and the destruction of this rather gorgeous building. We're given quite a lengthy (for such a short film) establishing shot of the building in all its glory, before time suddenly roars forward and life around the building go into overdrive. The building comes down in about a minute as both time and life are captured and manipulated by the photographic trickery.

 Which is why it's doomed to fail.

 I have not seen this first entry, but at a sprightly 1 minute 58 seconds there is nt real reason why I shouldn't watch it now.

 2. The Man with the Rubber Head



1901
Director: Georges Melies

The first entry from the pioneer of cinema fantasy, Melies also stars in this charming short. It's fair to say it's essentially a one joke idea, a scientist makes a copy of his own head, much to his own delight. He then decides to experiment with the head by inflating it with a pair of bellows. It's a simple idea, and Melies treats it like a magic trick, even pulling out the head in the beginning like a rabbit from a hat, and you have to imagine that's partly how the man viewed the cinema, as another trick for the magician, another way to misdirect the audience. As with the Star Theatre short, it represents a leap forward in technological effects, here through the multiple exposures required to create the second head, but again, there's more to it than that. The main joy in the film comes from Melies' own obvious and infectious sense of glee at the proceedings. It may not be as complex as some of his later work, but the creativity involved is still incredibly impressive.

Oh jesus, you're still posting?

Took you over an hour to come up with that? You're slipping, bro. Next thing I know you'll be reporting me to the mods and calling me a fascist because you've got nothing else in your arsenal.

 At its height, Viz was amazing. And the Drunken Bakers are legends.
