A one-shot BBC TV Documentary from 2011 about the history of Dinosaur Media. Discusses several stock tropes present in dino-movies, and reflects on their cultural importance in a lighthearted, tongue-in-cheek way.

Thoroughly talks about:

Gertie the Dinosaur
The Lost World
King Kong and its R Emake
Godzilla and its sequels and remake
Gorgo
One Million Years BC
The Beast From 20000 Fathoms
The Valley of Gwangi
Jurassic Park and sequels

... and also features a stock of other, often pretty obscure productions, most of which are best left extinct.

Appearing tropes:

Computer Generated Images: The latest method of bringing dinosaurs and other monsters to life. The program also has a brief Take That moment at it, or more specifically at the '05 King Kong R Emake, saying that the movie suffered from an overdose of over-the-top CGI scenes.
Cultural Translation: Gojira's brash, American Re Cut. Also the later remake.
Everything's Better With Dinosaurs: The main theme.
Family-Unfriendly Death: The T. rex's defeat at the hands of King Kong. Some of the Talking Heads found it too disturbing.
Feathered Fiend: Velociraptors. The real ones.
Fight Scene Failure: "The fight between the ape^[1] and the dinosaur in Unknown Island. It has to be seen to be believed!"
Frazetta Man, and their contrast with sexy cave-women.
Fur Bikini: Raquel Welch could not be left out.
Lost World: One of the more commonly used settings in early movies.
Nubile Savage
One Million BC: Discusses the time the "genre" was at its peak, and also how the overflow of Fan Service and increasingly diminishing roles of dinosaurs lead to its downfall.
People in Rubber Suits: Godzilla, Gorgo, and tons of other, forgettable monsters the Narrator just calls "Crapasauruses".
Prehistoria: The "inventive" new setting that dethroned the Lost World, but brought about a gigantic Anachronism Stew. Again, the cave-woman made audiences gloss over this.
Prehistoric Monster: What Gertie, Gorgo and Ray Harryhausen's creatures were definitely not.
Raptor Attack: The program goes on to point out that real-life raptors looked nothing like their Jurassic Park cousins, but even so, faux-raptors are still cool and scary.
Sequelitis: Mostly in reference to the Godzilla and Jurassic Park movies, and how none of these sequels managed to overshadow the original.
Slurpasaur: Strangely an avoided topic.
Special Effect Failure: Films with poor SFX are mercilessly mocked.
Somewhere a Palaeontologist Is Crying: Briefly touched upon, while JP is being analyzed.
Stock Dinosaurs
Stop Motion: A lost form of art in dinosaur media.
Tyrannosaurus Rex: It's almost everywhere.
Visual Effects of Awesome: Dinosaur movies are all about spectacle. The documentary can thus also be seen as an overview on special effects history.
