Summary:

With blockbusters like Jurassic Park, its easy to see that filmmakers and audiences alike are interested in seeing dinosaurs on screen. This comprehensive filmography, arranged alphabetically by title, contains entries that include basic facts (year of release, country of origin, studio, and running time) followed by a plot summary, commentary (the authors review of the film), a section on people and production, and information on the special effects. A separate section contains capsule entries on films that deal only briefly with dinosaurs. To be included, the movie must show on screen one or more creatures represented as prehistoric, reptilian, and non-humanoid. Inaccurate portrayals are included, as long as the intent is to represent a real or fictional dinosaur. Not eligible for this volume are films featuring only prehistoric mammals and movies including prehistoric cavepeople but lacking any primo
