Wow, it's cool to see others taking an interest in the Early Films page. I did change a few things. I alphabetized all the new films added to this page, as that is pretty much standard for all the Film indices. I took out all the Charlie Chaplin films because they are listed under the Charlie Chaplin section that begins in 1915 with his first independent film. If people think it would work better to list the Chaplin films under the year they were produced that's ok; but leaving it like this does match the Films of the 1920s page where Chaplin, Keaton, and Lloyd films are all grouped together.

Finally, I deleted Cleopatra, because that is a lost film, as is almost all of Theda Bara's career outside of A Fool There Was and a couple of shorts. So it can never have a work page with a list of tropes on the wiki. Thoughts?

We need those Chaplin films here. The only Chaplin films listed in the 1920's are after the 1920 so there is no reference to the ones before 1920.

I'm also going to make a slight tweak to include a little history. Muybridge deserves mention even if he doesn't get a Creator page.

Nothing stopping you from making a Muyburdge creator page. Not sure if you could come up with any tropes for him other than, I don't know, maybe National Geographic Nudity for all his nude studies.
