Der erste SF-Film, der je gedreht wurde. Eine Gruppe von Wissenschaftlern unter der Leitung von Professor Barbenfouillis wird mit innerhalb einer riesigen Kapsel mit einer Kanone zum Mond geschossen. Auf einem Kongress der Astronomischen Gesellschaft stellen sie einen Plan vor, wie man sicher zum Mond fliegen kann. Bis auf die Ausnahme eines Wissenschaftler stimmte man dem Projekt einstimmig zu. Die Vorbereitungen verlaufen nach Plan und die Wissenschaftler sind zuversichtlich. Begleitet von attraktiven Damen besteigen sie kurz vor dem Start die Kapsel. Beim feierlichen Start wird die französische Flagge geschwenkt, der Docht angezündet und die Kugel zum Mond geschossen. Die Reise verläuft ebenfalls reibungslos und als sie ankommen, treffen sie nicht nur auf eine bizarre Mondoberfläche, sondern auch auf unliebsame Mondbewohner.

Was ursprünglich nur als Dokumentation zur Aufnahme des neuen Albums gedacht war, entwickelte sich schnell zur Psychoanalyse und Katharsis der Band, sämtliche bislang aufgestauten Konflikte, Probleme und Gedanken aufzuarbeiten und zu klären. Nicht selten standen Metallica dabei quasi kurz vor dem Aus, was in „Some Kind of Monster“ deutlich wird. Zur Aufarbeitung von all dem wurde speziell der Psychologen Phil Towle als Mediator eingestellt, dem es wohl mit zu verdanken ist, dass die Band bis heute Bestand hat.

Georges Méliès' adaptation of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is most distinguished, today, for being a color film of the classic story. Color was rare in 1902 (and many years after) as non-tinted color has to be hand painted on the film; this was an arduous task. Also notable is the film's short running time of approximately five minutes. Much of the original work is not covered, but viewers were expected to be familiar with the story, and enjoy the filmed highlights. There are a couple of scenes missing; according to contemporary reports, Gulliver's shipwreck was certainly included. You can do a lot in a few minutes, as Mr. Méliès includes a re-make of his own "Une partie de cartes" (1896), which already looked like something previously covered by the Lumière Brothers.

In the summer of 1963, François Mitterrand was going through a deep existential crisis. His political career was at a standstill and, after 19 years of marriage, the couple had grown apart. It was at this point that François Mitterrand met the woman who was to give new meaning to his life. Anne Pingeot, aged 19, was to become the companion of a lifetime, a woman who would be with him throughout his rise to power and who would remain by his side until his last breath. For the first time, Anne Pingeot has agreed to allow the fragments of this passionate love story — hundreds of letters and a diary — to be shown on television, before being donated to the National Library.
