"A Trip to the Moon" is required viewing for every sci-fi fan. Georges Melies's imganitive, dream-like short odyssey remains a titular cinematic masterpiece showcasing the genre's limitless potential.
"A Trip to the Moon" left me in awe. Méliès' visuals and scope were transcendent due to his audacity. His pioneering short film established the foundation for epic sci-fi on both film and television.
Definitely. Also, I've just looked at your Substack and am about to go down a rabbit hole. In scanning what you write about, I got to where you wrote about RYE LANE and was sold. I lived in Peckham for two years in the late-teens, and I love that area. The film is the perfect love letter to it. More after I read some of your work!

Absolutely. I don't understand why it's such a rarity to meet screenwriters or even filmmakers in general who've seen it.
Some of these I have in my watch later, some I don’t but do now! Thanks Cole
I'm glad to have inspired you in any way to watch a single one of these films. They are all amazing!
Les Diaboliques and Ali are two of my favourites movies of all time!
Absolutely. ALI actually left a huge stamp on four chapters of my debut novel!
You know what? I’ve just bought your novel and will read it this summer.
Grazie mille! You'll make it a couple chapters in and understand my ALI reference. I hope you enjoy the read!

These'll be good for a rainy week! I read a good book based in part on the work of Melies
I hope you find much to inspire you here. All these films left a mark on me!
