Sounds like a Georges Melies movie to me, but there are 500 of them.&nbsp; Dream of an Opium Eater?&nbsp;

<p>It sounds like George Melies &quot;A Trip To The Moon.&quot;</p><p>You can watch it <a href="http://www.archive.org/stream/Levoyagedanslalune/Le_voyage_dans_la_lune_A_trip_to_the_moon__Georges _Mlis_1902_256kb.mp4" target="_blank">here. &nbsp;</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://www.retrocrush.com/2007images/425moon.jpg" border="0" />&nbsp;</p>

I've seen it before, but it's been a while. I think they also referenced that movie in &quot;Sputnik: The Shock of the Century&quot;, a book I read recently. The idea of shooting people to the moon from a cannon was seriously considered for many years.</p>

<p>Always loved this movie, and was surprised to see the Smashing Pumpkins pay homage to it in their vid 'Tonight Tonight' it's also the backstory&nbsp;subject of one of the episodes of Tom Hank's 'From the Earth to The Moon' w/ Hanks playing Melies' assistant. </p><p>Verne was, like Melies decades [centuries] ahead of his time.</p><p><a href="http://www.filmsite.org/voya.html" target="_blank">A Good site about the flick Here</a></p><p>=</p><p><font size="2"><strong>Voyage dans la Lune, Le/A Trip to the Moon</strong> (France, 1902), the screen's <em>first</em> science fiction story, was a 14 minute masterpiece (nearly one reel in length (about 825 feet)), created by imaginative French director and master magician Georges Melies (1861-1938) in his version of the Jules Verne story. The silent film's plot, a light-hearted satire criticizing the conservative scientific community of its time, was inspired by Jules Verne's <em>From the Earth to the Moon (1865)</em> and H. G. Wells' <em>First Men in the Moon (1901)</em>. </font></p>
