Tom & Larry give a proper "Thank-You" to the western movie that started it all - and I mean all of it. It kick-started the entire film industry by showing everyone how to tell a story on film. It was made in 1903 and is credited as being the first actual movie. Despite its short 10-minute length, it drew crowds like no other film in the pre-nickelodeon era. And the name of the movie was "The Great Train Robbery".
