What's the first film that you ever remember seeing in theaters?
For me, Disney's Aladdin (1992). Came out just shortly after I turned 4 years old, apparently.

When you saw The Horse, it wasn't in theaters, @SubstantialKick...none back in th late 19th century...

@Jacko1971 No. A joke. Few ppl are aware of Muybridge now, I think. Likely @samueltyler2, who has extensive photography experience.
Check out the Wikipedia article; he was famous for doing motion studies, and his frame-by-frame "movie" of a running racehorse (The Horse) was the first time that people had evidence that horses' feet are up in the air in a full gallop at the proper time (i.e., not when its legs are all extended).
So he's the first guy who did motion-capture studies.

@Jacko1971 Yeah it was a "movie" constructed of a series of photos, exactly like those used for a zoetrope (the name used by Francis Ford Coppola for his studios).
The wikipedia article says former Sen. Stanford spent around $50k on a series of Muybridge's experiments with early movies...interesting.
