It was believed that it was The Great Train Robbery, but I think they might've come across another earlier one.

The first short was "Strongman Sandow" in 1890, if you discount the 1877 series of pictures showing a horse galloping. The first short with a story line is "The Great Train Robbery", and the first feature length film was "The Story of the Kelly Gang." The actors are Godfrey Cass, Nicholas Brierley, Elizabeth Tait,and John Tait. The first full feature color movie was "The World, the Flesh and the Devil" which made it's debut in 1914. In this film the actor who played the Devil is H. Agar Lyons.

Oberammergau Passion Play of 1898 was the first commercial motion picture ever produced. Other pictures soon followed, and motion pictures became a separate industry that overshadowed the vaudeville world
A good movie to note is Le Voyage Dans La Lune (A Trip To The Moon) (1902). Director was Georges Melies, and it was one of the earliest experiments in film, a short science-fiction tale of a space ship launched to the moon (a huge smiling face).

Roundhay Garden Scene, the world's earliest film to date, by Louis Le Prince, 1888.
Le Prince was a Frenchman who divided his adult life among France, Britain and the United States. His ground-breaking work in 1888 was conducted in the city of Leeds, West Yorkshire, England.
