Advancing the Movie Industry

napierslogs
Like any other industry, the movie industry evolves. And every few years or decades, a technological advancement comes that changes the way we see movies.

Listed by the movie that is credited as being the first in the industry, which technological advancement do you treasure the most?

This list does not include anything that paved the way for movies to even exist, because I think we all appreciate that we're able to see a movie in the first place.
