"Le voyage dans la lune" - George Méliès
According to Wikepedia;
Georges Méliès (December 8, 1861 – January 21, 1938), full name Marie-Georges-Jean Méliès, was a French film maker famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the earliest cinema. He was very innovative in the use of special effects. He accidentally discovered the stop trick, or substitution, in 1896, and was one of the first film makers to use multiple exposures, time-lapse photography, dissolves, and hand-painted colour in his films. Because of his ability to seemingly manipulate and transform reality with the cinematography, Méliès is sometimes referred to as the "Cinemagician."
The narration is by his niece, Madeleine Malthête-Méliès. It's a wonderful little film, with what must have been state-of-the-art special effects in 1902.

It's Lunacy I tell you, the Moon is driving us crazy!
The Moon has held a strange fascination over our imaginations ever since our hominid ancestors first looked up and gazed upon our closest companion.
The Moon has been seen as the abode of strange beings, the cause of Madness (hence Lunacy), the power that triggers Lycanthropy and many other things too.
Musically, Moon has traditionally been rhymed with June, but that hasn't stopped musicians using the imagery of the Moon for their own ends.
Genesis - Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
Kristin Hersh - White Trash Moon
Nick Drake - Pink Moon
Bert Jansch - Crimson Moon
Thin Lizzy - Dancing in the Moonlight
Television - Marquee Moon
Camel - Lunar Sea
Siouxsie - Sea of Tranquility
The Grateful Dead - Picasso Moon
The Rolling Stones - Moonlight Mile
Blue Moon (or how trying to find an amusing picture of workman's bottom on the internet can prove to be difficult & disturbing)
