The film Blade Runner directed by Ridley Scott shows many notions of the familiar and unfamiliar for effect, these notions in many ways are crucial to the success of the film in expressing its message and ideas.…

Two of the greatest movies of this time were A Trip to the Moon, directed by Georges Méliès (1902) and The Great Train Robbery directed by Edwin Porter (1903).…
