This is one of the bests programs I had. I really don't know why Microsoft stopped in 96.
Buy it if you want to learn a lot about movies...specially the classics.
Well, after 1996 we don't have many good movies after all :)

I completely agree with the review by Billy Budd. I, too, use Cinemania extensivily. I love just about all the "good" movies that were ever made, and use the Cinemania program as my #1 go- to information center to check on movies I might like to purchase. With the DVD's and the Hi-Def T.V. now, man this stuff is a blast! But, alas & alack, it's also kinda expensive. Therefore, I can't be wastin' my hard-earned money on dud movies, and that's where top-notch information comes in. Cinemania delivers that in spades, but unfortunately, now there's 10 years worth of history that's missing. I've written to Microsoft asking about an update, but never heard from them. I really wish they would produce a new version. Heck, with the DVD format, tons of additional info and clips could be added. Hey, Microsoft, don't even think about this one, just do it!

Why Microsoft stopped CINEMANIA in 1996? July 26, 2004

I bought years ago this amazing Encyclopedia of Cinema, and it performs perfectly in Windows XP, thank God. Its use is as easy as Encarta's, and you can find everything about movie world (films reviews, biographies...). It is a multimedia product, with photos, music, dialogues, videos... Although it focuses in the USA, it includes international production too.
I don't understand why Microsoft stopped publishing it in 1996. I suppose it was "too good" for the market, and that books' merchants thought it was a heavy competitor.
I would pay a lot of money very happy if Microsoft produces a new version.
Another option would be to integrate it with Encarta, as they did with "Encarta Africana". Marvelous dream.
Anyway, if someone knows an electronic product similar to Cinemania, please let me know (albert2608@hotmail.com).
