Movie Time: A Chronology of Hollywood and the Movie Industry

by Gene Brown

This compendium of bite-sized morsels of information about Hollywood and the film industry in a timetable format makes it easy and fun to browse or to track information month to month, year to year. From Theda Bara to Demi Moore and from The Birth of a Nation to Reservoir Dogs , Movie Time covers it all: the personalities; the movies; the industry; births, deaths, marriages, and divorces. Each year starts with a one-page "snapshot" including a summary highlighting the year, lists of major awards and trends, little-known facts, and a timeline. Following this are entries for the year arranged chronologically in four categories, prepared with period photos and quotes.

[Jeff Dickison · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent overview of the history of movies from pioneer efforts in the 1830's to 1994. Loaded with gossip and inside information this is a must read for movie fans. I don't know if they have updated this in anyway, but it is still worth your time. Recommended to any movie buff.
