The first film ever made showed a guy who was boxing. It did not have a title.

Monkeyshines, No. 1 (1890) Here's the link: http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0361921/

"The Great Train Robbery" It was the first real full length movie. It was of course about a train robbery but at the end for no reason at all that related to the plot a character was shown shooting his gun at the audience to scare them.

I beleive that the other answer to this question may not be correct. "The Great Train Robbery" was made in the U.S. in 1903 and (I quote) "it has always been regarded as a landmark and righly so, but was certainly not a feature." the film was it was 703 feet long and ran for 12 minutes. But "The Great Train Robbery" was a continuous film. Two other films/movies are worth noting. The first was called "Soldiers of the cross" made in 1900 and ran a total of 3000 feet. (I quote) " it was probably the first film of some dramatic content of that hitherto unparalleled overall length" its first presentation was in Melbourne Town Hall (Australia) in 13 september 1900. The film was about the Salvation Army. The film was not a continuous film, but film and slides intergated. The Story of the Kelly Gang (also screened as Ned Kelly and His Gang) is widely regarded as the world's first feature length film. Its 70 minute length was certainly unprecedented when it was released in 1906. The movie traces the life of the legendary Australian bushranger, Ned Kelly (1855-1880). It was written and directed by Charles Tait. The film's actual reel length is 1219.2 metres. It was released in Australia on the 26th December 1906 at the Melbourne Town Hall. The movie starred Godfrey Cass, Nicholas Brierley, Elizabeth Tait and John Tait. more information about this movie can be found at the web address http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Story_of_the_Kelly_Gang or Australia Film, The inside story (written by Ken G. Hall)

It depends on what you call a movie. Technically it was a series of photographs taken to show that when a horse gallops, all of it's feet come off of the ground. Eadweard Muybridge did this in 1877. But it was actually Edison that invented the first film camera to employ moving images called the Kinetograph. And the first film strip made was dubbed "Strongman Sandow" which is just a guy flexing his muscles (1890).

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.

Your mom was the first movie I saw if you know what I mean shizzle your fizzle nizzle.

I can't remember the name of the film but it was silent, and it was about a guy who wrestled wolves. President Theodore Rosevelt wanted to see this guy wrestle a wolf so he traveled to Medicine Park, Oklahoma with a crew and a motion picture camera. While filming the "wolf wrestler" they decided to make it look like the guy chased, and hunted the wolf for like three days. The last scene was the actual wrestling.

The first film ever made was shot by Louis Aime Augustin Le Prince back in 1888 called Roundhay Garden Scene. It's around 2 seconds long

"The Horse in Motion" starring no one in particular but a rider and his horse. It was not a movie in the traditional sense however, not as we are used to them. This article however: http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/461209/the_first_movie_ever_made_a_history.html?cat=37 :should be able to provide much more information than I ever could. It's interesting that you ask this question as I was recently involved in some research which, in part, required an answer to same question.
