The '?' Motorist is a 1906 British short silent comedy film, directed by Walter R. Booth. It features a motorist on the run from the police. during which he drives along clouds, around the moon, and around the rings of Saturn before landing through the roof of a courthouse. The trick film is, "one of the last films that W.R. Booth made for the producer-inventor R.W. Paul," and according to Michael Brooke of BFI Screenonline, "looks forward to the more elaborate fantasies that Booth would make for Charles Urban between 1907 and 1911, as well as drawing on a wide range of the visual tricks that Booth had developed over the preceding half-decade."
