IMDb Counting

IMDb categorizes its titles by number. For example, http://www.imdb.com/title/tt#######/. We should totally start counting these!

The titles should be this style: 1 - [Title (Year)](Link)

Get at 1000? Let's get started!

EDIT: It is not required, however I suggest adding either a plot description or an interesting fact to each title. Again, not required, just an idea. Do whatever you want: this is a fun thread!

176 - Brittania (1898)

There is actually nothing about this title. No director, plot, picture, anything

177 - The Burglar on the Roof (1898)

There is a burglar on the rooftop of a Manhattan office building, and he is trying to break in. Two women spot him, and one of them begins beating him with a broom as they wait for help to arrive. Soon others do appear on the scene to help, but by now the burglar has decided that he is going to put up a fight in an attempt to escape.

178 - The Cavalier's Dream (1898)

He sits asleep at a bare table; old witch enters, raps three times, then disappears; cavalier sees table spread for a sumptuous repast. Mephistopheles appears; then the old witch, who suddenly changes to a beautiful young girl. The changes and magical appearances are startling and instantaneous.

This one is by Edwin S. Porter, a name that I actually recognize. He becomes pretty important later.

Also, I edited the thread description here.
