The whole scene in Norman’s office with Marion Crain is so profoundly unsettling Listening to the both of them having a civilized conversation and knowing that moments later this same person is going to butcher her. It’s just horrible. I get sick to my stomach.

I feel Jurassic Park deserved an honorable mention at least. The cgi combined with practical effects made ripples felt to this day.

‘Parasite’ is such an interesting movie, and I personally want to see it soon.

What about the cameras and techniques used in AVATAR What about the cgi in TERMINATOR 2 What about the first cgi living creatures ever in JURASSIC PARK

I’m bias… I love Martin Scorsese… so I’d also add the infamous “you talkin to me” scene from Taxi Driver, and the intro to Goodfellas

this list should have been a top 50. It is beautiful

Totally amazing video of things that change movie history forever,fantastic job Rebecca from watch mojo. What about Jurassic park,avatar too.

Love your work. Well done.

Jurassic Park definitely deserves a spot for its groundbreaking use of animatronics and cgi.

Surprising omission: ‘Roundhay Garden Scene’ (1888). THE first film.

Metropolis (1927) groundbreaking special effects and the technology was lost.

The Story of the Kelly Gang (Made in & around Melbourne, Australia, released in1906) should be on this list as it’s the world’s first ever narrative feature-length film. It had a runtime of 60 minutes (1200 metres in reel length), but currently, only 17 minutes of the film are known to have survived.

I saw 'La belle et la bête' by Jean Cocteau, when I was 5, so haunting and beautiful! Also, 'The day the earth stood still' (both versions), 'Forbidden Planet' and 'La planète Sauvage'!These are some of my cult films.

Citizen Kane should have been included for the plethora of shooting techniques and cinematography Orson Wells employed.

How about the invention of moving pictures to begin with?

This should have been a Top 20!!!

Should’ve had Night At the Museum, Jurassic Park, and Karate Kid to the list. Will there have a part two to this, because this was entertaining!

Citizen Kane - use of lighting effect, especially shadows

PSYCHO wasn't the first early killing-off of such a star: Marilyn Monroe in NIAGARA and, to some extent Joan Bennett in MAN HUNT (she wasn't the lead, but not the sort of character to be casually killed); Monster as protagonist in M; Missed out a lot of stuff (largely outside the English language): Exchange of close-ups in conversation in THE PASSION OF JOAN OF ARC; flashback based on what the character is thinking in HIROSHIMA MON AMOUR; slow motion violence in SEVEN SAMURAI

You have made 4 lists like this. I am still interested in this topic though.

Should have included the first movie to have an insane, unexpected plot twist. lol

I'm not a big fan of Citizen Kane, but its improvements towards the thecnical side of films is more important than most of this list

What do I think is the most important movie moment? Probably Star Wars, because that first movie redefined all of show *BUSINESS* from that moment on. It also feels like Night of the Living Dead should be on here. Not just for the current zombie craze, but, as John Carpenter put it, "Every independent film owes part of its existence to Night of the Living Dead."

Andy Serkis needs a Nobel Prize immediately.

Psycho shower scene was the scariest 90 seconds in cinema history.

the arrival of a train at la ciotat I heartily believe is the most important part of cinema industry - Hugo showed that perfectly

I think the old King Kong should be on the list and not only as honorable mention.

10:14 not really, the first long featured animated movie was the argentinian film "El Apostol" from 1917, and the same guy behind that movie released another movie 1919, both way before Snow White, that being said, Snow White is the first colour animated film, and the first to receive a wild international distribution, so its still is historic.

Nice!

I’m surprised Citizens Kane not on this list

The mind blowing thing was introducing my kid to early photography and film was when they asked me if the world didn't have colour back then... Well kid, in some spectrums, some things were always black and white and in the rest of the world it was full of colour. That aside, it did take them a while to understand that animations like scooby doo wasn't irl. Really interesting to see how the new generations perceive things without context.

Fun facted Jaws was also the most expensive and longest running movie Spielberg had ever worked on.

Some of these delivered on the promise made by films previously. Toy Story is easy, but that promise of CGI was made in The Great Mouse Detective, The Rescuers Down Under and The Little Mermaid. Gollum was eye catching, but that ground was broken with Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I'd have add Raiders of the Lost Ark for breaking the MPAA. Forcing the creation of PG-13.

now add Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame for having an stadium-audienced movie theatre, and Spiderman: No Way Home for being a three-generational superhero movie, topped highest grossing film in a pandemic-era, and having a stadium-audienced movie theatre. Marvel Cinematic Universe is the only franchise that save some of the movie theatres from bankruptcy in pandemic (i remember when Spiderman:NWH premieres, dozens of people flock even in a high quarantine status). Agree or not, MCU helped the cinema, and paved the way for old actors to starred again.

I believe there is a mistake in this video, and please correct me if I am wrong. The spot regarding Gollum, is not actually correct. To my understanding, it was Jar Jar Binks that was the first fully motion captured CGI character in a film, and it was that performance and film respectively that pioneered the technology that would eventually lead to Gollum. I know I know, Jar Jar as a character is touchy a subject no matter whether your support or hate him, but I feel it would be a disservice to ignore what the existence of that character actually did for filmmaking back in 1999. Don't get me wrong, Gollum is by far the better animated character, and despite me not being a full-on hater of Jar Jar, he cannot hold a candle to Andy Serkis. However, even I cannot ignore that officially it was Jar Jar that came first and helmed the use of Mo-Cap characters for film, even if Gollum/Andy Serkis set the standard of what would/should come after.
