IMDb Titles by the Numbers

After looking at the names yesterday, here is a list of the first titles on the IMDb, based on their id number.

  1. Carmencita (1894)
  2. Le Clown et ses chiens (1892)
  3. Pauvre Pierrot (1892)
  4. Un bon bock (1892)
  5. Blacksmith Scene (1893)
  6. Chinese Opium Den (1894)
  7. Corbett and Courtney Before the Kinetograph (1894)
  8. Edison Kinetoscopic Record of a Sneeze (which has got to be my favourite movie title of all time; 1894)
  9. Miss Jerry (1894)
  10. La Sortie des usines Lumière (1895)

While these are all early efforts of film, the oldest title in the IMDb is Roundhay Garden Scene from 1888 at #392.728. The last title as of now is Ático from 2000 at #815.755.

There are roughly three times more names in the IMDb than titles.
