I watched all of Georges Méliès’ (the director of 'A Trip to the Moon') surviving films and here are the shorts I highly recommend.

I made a list of all Georges Méliès’s surviving and a few fragment (a small part broken off or separated from something) films (here's the link: https://ift.tt/36cwzlj). Méliès made over 520 films, about over 210 of which survive today and I watched all of them. Here are the shorts I highly recommend:A masterpieces (10/10):The Impossible Voyage (1904) - It’s like a ‘sunny’ version of A Trip to The Moon, but didn't get enough viewings like A Trip to the Moon. I loved it in every way, it feels so artsy and its effects and comedy are still very much well executed as well.A Trip to the Moon (1902) - Just a brilliant and one of the most iconic shorts of all-time.Highly recommend (9/10):The Man with the Rubber Head (1901) - It actually put on my smile. Such a genius and funny short!The Astronomer’s Dream (1898) - It's the original version of A Trip to the Moon. An entertaining film, and some pretty cool effects too.The Fat and Lean Wrestling Match (1900)The Diabolic Tenant (1909)The Witch (1906)The Palace of the Arabian Nights (1905)The Terrible Turkish Executioner (1904) - Not anything special, but it was terrifying and kind of shocking.The Infernal Cauldron (1903)The Kingdom of the Fairies (1903)Gulliver’s Travels Among the Lilliputians and the Giants (1902)Joan of Arc (1900)Great shorts that I recommend (8/10):The Conquest of the Pole (1912) - The longest-running and last 'great' film made by Méliès.The Untameable Whiskers (1904)Cinderella (1899)The Four Troublesome Heads (1898)The Haunted Castle (1896)A Terrible Night (1896)The Magic Book (1900)The Christmas Dream (1900)A Fantastical Meal (1900)The Devil and the Statue (1901)The Adventures of Robinson Crusoe (1903) - There exists a 12-minute hand-colored print of the original 15-minute film out there, but I’ve only been able to find one that runs about three minutes. The sets are impressive though.The Monster (1903)The Wandering Jew (1904)The Christmas Angel (1904)Satan in Prison (1907)In the Bogie Man’s Cave (1908)The Knight of the Snow (1912)The Living Playing Cards (1905)The Legend of Rip Van Winkle (1905)Inventor Crazybrains and His Wonderful Airship (1906)The Hilarious Posters (1906)The Eclipse: Courtship of the Sun and Moon (1907)A solid 7/10 that I think people still should watch it:The Merry Frolics of Satan (1906)The Black Imp (1905)The Mermaid (1904)The Melomaniac (1903)The Prince of Magicians (1901)The One-Man Band (1900)The Haunted Castle (1897)The Pillar of Fire (1899)6/10 that everyone loves it, but I thought it was okay:A Nightmare (1896)20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1907)My ratings:10/10: 2 shorts9/10: 11 shorts8/10: 37 shorts7/10: 73 shorts6/10: 44 shorts5/10: 23 shorts4/10: 12 shorts3/10: 6 shortsI watched all of them on Youtube, the only A Trip to the Moon I watched is in 4k, includes the colorized version.Have a nice Sunday! :) via /r/movies https://ift.tt/3c6nCjl
