Presents the history of science fiction films, emphasizing important eras and outstanding films. This description may be from another edition of this product.
No book can be an all-encompassing collection of Sci-Fi films. So it is a matter of personal taste on which one are represented. This album (published second edition 1982) emphasizes the world of Sci-Fi, as apposed to just collections from different eras. Lots of good stills are shown that seemed of have evaded the magazines and many other Sci-Fi books. This is an earlier version. Contents include: Preface (overview "Close Encounters of the Third kind" & "Star Wars") The Silent Days (example "Trip to the Moon" & "Metropolis") Nowhere Out There (example "Just Imagine" & "Things to Come") A Golden Age (example "The Day the Earth Stood Still" & "Invaders From Mars") From Theater to Tube (example "Captain Video" & "The Twilight Zone") Social Responsibility (example "Village of the Damned" & The Time Machine") Rapid Changes (example "2100: A Space Odyssey" & "Soylent Green") Wish Upon A Star (example "Star Wars" & "Close Encounters of the Third Kind") The Continuing Saga (example "Battlestar Galactica" & "Time After Time") There are many other Sci-Fi films mentioned in this album.
A pretty good selection
