Motion pictures developed gradually from a carnival novelty to one of the most important tools of communication, entertainment, artistic expression and mass media in the 20th century. Although as a medium its importance has been eroded by television, video games and internet, motion picture films have had a substantial impact on the arts, technology, and politics, and it can be argued that it is still the people's favorite way of consuming fiction.
A major event in the recent history of film history was the arrival of home video.
