August 23 1967 - The Roger Corman counter-culture film 'The Trip' is released to American cinemas. Prior to making the film, Corman himself took LSD to research it's effects.

October 6, 1927 - 'The Jazz Singer', the world's first sound film, is released in America. Despite being known as the world's first 'talkie', the film actually contains barely two minutes worth of synchronized talking in total and most of this was improvised. The rest of the dialogue is presented through the caption cards, or intertitles, which was standard in silent movies of the era
