yea, P3 is right, its the masseter muscle, which is also the jaw muscle. But that is only for total pressure, if you want comparatively based on size then the tongue is the strongest muscle. hope this made sense.

“A shorter muscle will be stronger “pound for pound” (i.e., by weight) than a longer muscle. The myometrial layer of the uterus may be the strongest muscle by weight in the human body. At the time when an infant is delivered, the entire human uterus weighs about 1.1 kg (40 oz). During childbirth, the uterus exerts 100 to 400 N (25 to 100 lbf) of downward force with each contraction.” from Yahoo Answers and MedicalJustAnswer.com.

“The Quadriceps femoris (front and side of the thigh) or the Gluteus maximus (hip to top of thigh) are the strongest but pound for pound the uterus is the strongest. The masseter/jaw muscle is recorded to have a bite strength of 4337 N but that is due to the short lever that is the jaw.” from Answer Bag.

I’d have to say the greatest movie of all time was the first one made, because without it there would be no others.
In 1877 Eadweard Muybridge made the first video recording -

My guess is the tongue, or a leg muscle?
