I PROBABLY just saw this lost film....I'm not sure, exactly.

According to IMDB, "Arrivée d'un train gare de Vincennes" is a lost film. And, according to the review by Tornado_Sam, perhaps it survives as a flip book. Well, I did see what seemed like a flipbook copy on YouTube and I assume it IS this movie....but it only lasts 27 seconds and is of no particular interest to anyone except die-hard Georges Méliès fans and historians. It's one of the filmmaker's first films and I guess you have to start somewhere...and train arrival films were actually pretty popular in the earliest days of cinema. Heck, in the 1890s, film watching grass grow probably would have been popular, as the modern style of films was still in the future. Mildly interesting because I adore this filmmaker...but not for 'normal' folks!
