Le Voyage dans la Lune
Here’s a link to stream the classic silent short: Le Voyage dans la Lune (1902). Created by pioneer filmmaker Georges Méliès, Le Voyage dans la Lune (A Trip to the Moon) is filled with fanciful images and ideas relating to space travel.
The sequence where the space capsule crashes into the Man in the Moon is one of earliest examples of stop-motion photography. That technique was the basis for many of the special effects in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Star Wars (1977).
