The Video Show (a.k.a. The Cinema Show: A Video Anthology) is a DVD by British band Genesis. Released on 29 November 2004 in the UK and 13 September 2005 in North America, it compiles music videos from their earliest, three videos filmed for the A Trick of the Tail album in 1976, to their latest, the video for "The Carpet Crawlers 1999", filmed in 1999. Similar to the Platinum Collection compilation album, which was released on the same day, the track listing begins at the We Can't Dance album and goes backwards in time before jumping to post-We Can't Dance material, which appears at the end of the track listing going forwards in time.

While the DVD's packaging says "The Video Show", the introduction to the DVD menu says "The Cinema Show: A Video Anthology", indicating that the name was changed after the DVD was finalised.

All the tracks have had their audio replaced with the new 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo Remixes featured in the SACD/DVD re-releases. Because of this, some of the videos are missing their original sound effects heard during songs like "Land of Confusion" and "I Can't Dance". "Man on the Corner" was originally a live recorded video while the DVD dubs the footage with the studio track.
