From Trainspotting to Spotlight, from the Grand Hotel to The Grand Budapest Hotel, the History of Film is a visual compendium of the 2100 best and most important movies from the beginning of the feature-film industry to the present day. Films are organized by genre represented by streams that grow and shrink over time. The starting point is the early 1900s when the first drama-based feature-length movies were released. The number and sizes of streams quickly grow as filmmakers expand their creativity by moving into other genres such as adventure, westerns, war and comedy.
