Between 1907 and 1913, Hollywood in Southern California became center of American ( and international) film industry – the weather was perfect for making films outside ! Until the late 1920s, movie were silent. Words on the screen told the important parts of the story and in each cinema, a pianist played music at the same time as the film. Great stars of the silent movies included Rudolph Valentino, who was famous as a great lover and the London-born comedian Charlie Chaplin.

Walt Disney designed his first cartoon character, Mickey mouse, in 1928. Later, Donald Duck appeared, and in 1937, Disney made his first full-length cartoon film, Snow White and 7 dwarfs. The most popular film og 1939, Gone with the wind, starring Clark Gable and Viven Leigh, was the most sucessful film of all time until Titanic appeared in 1997.
Titanic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet, was the most expensive film ever made - it cost $ 200 million to make.

However, film critics often choose the 1941 film, Citizen Kane, starring orson Welles, as the best film ever.
