Mosquinha (Best Version) 1890

Just two years after "Roundhay Garden Scene" came this eight second little wonder 'entitled, Mosquinha'.' It shows a fly, in silhouette, taking off. It was made by Étienne-Jules Marey, a French scientist and pioneer in the fields of cardiology, physical instrumentation, aviation, cinematography and the science of laboratory photography. He was very interested in movement of the human body, and that interest apparently extended to the movement of members of the animal kingdom.

This film lasts less than ten-seconds but it's so historically important that you can't help but really love it.

The title and image makes it seem like the perfect monster movie!
