Acknowledging the iconic, but with plenty of room for the rare and unfamiliar, The Art of Classic Sci-Fi Movies presents a stellar selection of imagery, charting the story of the genre from its origins in foundational works like A Trip to the Moon and Metropolis, through Cold War classics like Invasion of the Body-Snatchers and Godzilla, and on to visionary films such as 2001 and Solaris--as well as less celebrated but nonetheless infamous cultural artifacts like Barbarella and Zardoz, and genuine oddities such as Murder by Television and Twonky. The most extensive book of its type ever published, it includes ample selections from American movies as well as a range of films from Japan, Italy, Spain, France, Russia, and Eastern Europe."--Amazon.com. 650 0 $a Science fiction films $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Science fiction $v Illustrations $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Film posters $v Pictorial works. 650 0 $a Lobby cards $v Pictorial works. 700 1 $a Newell, Adam, $e editor. 700 1 $a Newman, Kim, $e author of introduction. 700 1 $a Jones, Nick $c (Author at DK Publishing, Inc.), $e contributor. 700 1 $a Jones, Stephen, $d 1953- $e contributor. 700 1 $a Weitekamp, Margaret A., $d 1971- $e contributor. 941 $a 1 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20240724020633.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=20D962C2498311EFAB853F282BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
