Black and White. 3. 1920. In other words, I have no idea. Good questions though; any movie buffs out there know the answers? I'm interested, but researching it would be cheating. Killerzzz

My guess on the second is The Wizard of Oz, 1939 (or 37...). And I CAN check when speech arrived (have this nice book called "Film Art: An Introduction" that I'd sell if I wasn't too lazy ), but I don't want to. Übereil

When was color first used in movies? Omygosh. I read that as " What was the First Colour used in movies? " Oh wow, I was really tired. ;D Wizard of Oz would've been my guess for that, but apprently thats not it. Killerzzz

Singing in the rain? Nope. I thought this would be easier. It is an old movie --it does have sing in the title.

Hector'll know, I'm sure. Me - I have NO clue! I know the the second and third one. I was unsure of which movie was Cleg refering to in the third because the phrasing was a bit odd ("true"? as opposed to what?) No idea on the first.

Hmm, for once I didn't want to cheat and use google, but in that case... ;D And I also misread the second Q, so lets try again ;D First Q: Tom London Sec Q: "The Great Train Robbery" (1903) not in full color though, but selective tinting in the scenes Thirth Q: "The Jazz Singer" 1927 If I knew before I could use Google... ;D I hope I found the correct answers now ;D

Very good, but #2 is not quite right.
Although " The Great Train Robbery" did have selected tinting, it is not the 1st.

Hit me with new questions, I love those!

Nope. The correct answer is: "Serpentine Dance" (1895), a 34-second piece by Thomas Edison.
Who was the 1st leading lady to appear in the nude in a full length film?

I know that answer from the last time I was searching for answers ;D
This next question should be "Fall of a Nation" (1916) as a sequel on "Birth of a nation" Googled this one

In what movie is all of the dialog sung instead of spoken? West Side Story? (that's one hell of a question to find the answer to)

No. Not West Side Story. This is one of my all time favorites. And it is not in English.
edit: West Side Story is a great movie too, with some great music.

The only movie I could find is a Dutch movie wich I will translate as Tears of Maria Machita, but I'm pretty sure that is not the movie you are looking for, allthough it's completely been sung.
