CLASSIC SILENT FILM FEATURES
Updated April 8, 2010
*** If you need an 8mm Projector
to show these films CLICK HERE
*** |
These
films are for standard 8mm movie projectors or dual-8 movie projectors. Some of these
titles are almost impossible to find in any guage but 8mm. All are in Like New to Mint
condition unless noted otherwise. Vintage silent films running their true speed of 16
frames per second means 200' of 8mm film will run 15 minutes. Most silent features run
from under an hour to just over an hour. That is why many silent features are only 3 to 6
reels (200') long. Here is your chance to have many historic movies on film for little
more than the cost of a video or DVD. All films are in cans or white boxes. If possible
I'll list the manufacturer of the print. Older vintage Kodak or Dupont prints are desired
for their excellent resolution, although quality can vary. All are very good or excellent
picture quality unless noted. Remember many reels are full to the brim, so a 5 reel
(5x200') feature may be on 2x400' reels. |
