Up a Wall



In 1902, Georges Méliès created a comical little film that showed a dancer running up a wall and performing handsprings in mid-air.  The film, titled The Human Fly, can be viewed below. 


The film stands today as a forerunner to a number of popular films.


Fred Astaire in Royal Wedding (1950)



Lionel Richie in "Dancing on the Ceiling" music video (1986)



Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Inception (2010)
