The one documentary was split into two parts for loading efficiency in the days of lesser bandwidth.

Citing cinema as the first truly mass entertainment seems hubristic in the extreme. The Colosseum springs to mind, or if you require repetition, plays performed in different venues fill the bill (pun intended).
I found the description of old-time comedy movies as 'violent hilarity' most apt. I watched in awe as a house was destroyed by plumes of water. Knowing the scenes were real had a lot more impact than the constant suspicion of CGI with which we watch modern cinema.
