" Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I saw this flick and maybe I should re-watch it at some point. Sure, it might not seem to be anything really mind-blowing if you would compare it to something coming out nowadays (after all, it is a very short movie done with a $150 budget only) but the damned thing was actually seriously groundbreaking when it was released. Indeed, even if the story was very basic, it is still considered as one of the very first movies with some kind of plot. Any"

Slant's 100 Best Westerns of All Time (100 movies items)

"An Edison Studios film often called the first western may well have been understood as a simple crime flick in 1903. The gunbelts, bandanas, and wide-brim hats worn by its antagonists weren’t exactly out of date when Teddy Roosevelt was in office. A particularly sensational and violent example of early narrative cinema, this 10-minute adventure cuts right to the point, opening with a gang of thieves committing multiple murders (and dynamiting a safe, in a spectacular early special effect) on t"

"THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY - THE OUTLAW FIRES INTO THE AUDIENCE Edwin S. Potter's 1903 silent classic 'The Great Train Robbery' was not, as is often erroneously stated, the first narrative film but in its coherent, technically accomplished and genuinely entertaining approach to storytelling it undoubtedly stands out as one of the gems of cinema's infancy. The film has gone on to be considered as America's first action film with a recognisable form, specifically pre-empting the imminent popularity "
