Review of "Cinema: Year by Year, 1894-2003" by DK Publishing

This monumental encyclopedia covers the years from 1894 to 2004. The romance and glamour of the Silver Screen have dominated our lives since the end of the 19th Century. Back in back in 1885, movies were greeted with astonished gasps. Since then, they have enthralled many generations. The history of motion pictures is a history of the modern world. Films are listed for each year along with thousands of illustrations. This is the most enjoyable book to page through. You will enjoy this chronicle over and over again. Features in their own time space are the Academy Award winners and the winners of other prized trophies. You'll find pictures of the casts and the photos of the opening or the poster advertising.

This is the most complete encyclopedia of films, famous or not-so-much, that you can ever find and if you know Dorling Kindersly, you know that they present the very best in pictorial presentations about any subject they present.

The years are laid out like newspapers, showing the articles that tell the history as it happened. For any dyed-in-the-wool movie buff, this is a must-have.
