In a number of posts I notice that various James Bond features are mentioned as being available on super 8. Is there adefinitive list of what is out there including promos and trailers
To start it of I know
Goldfinger - Derann World is not Enough - Classic Goldeneye Classic From Russia with Love - Classic Tomorrow Never Dies - Classic

There is are opticals of Thunderball, and From Russia With Love. I believe that Thuderball runs about two hours and Russia runs about 90 minutes.
These were from what I had learned to be former airline prints.
I do not know if Derann still offers the full length Thunderball in magnetic sound? It may have some minor pre printed splices.
Derann also offered Goldfinger and I believe that Ken films once offered Dr. No.

There's a stunning optical print of "Dr. NO" available too, it was made to celebrate Bond's 20th Aniversary, it looked to me when I've had a print in that it had be re-mastered too! One to look out for!

CHC also released the opening scenes of "Goldeneye" and "Living Daylights". They are about to release "You only live twice" (complete feature).

There was talk of an extract from the full feature of You Only Live Twice, but this was shelved due to the other two Bond extracts Living Daylights & Goldeneye not selling too well. Don't know why CHC is not making the sales on these as I'd thought they were ideal releases, in scope, great quality, affordable and supplied in nice picture boxes.A doddle to re-record in stereo as there are no cuts.

Another attempt to compile a list of all Bond movies available on Super 8:
-Dr. No (1962): Optical feature -From Russia With Love (1963): German print full-length in scope + optical feature -Goldfinger (1964): Derann full-length + Italian print -Thunderball (1965): Derann full-length in scope + optical feature -You Only Live Twice (1967): Optical feature (full-length prints in scope were announced by Kempski + CEC) -Casino Royale (1967): Piccolo 400' (well - not a "typical" Bond movie...) -On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969): German print full-length in scope -Diamonds Are Forever (1971): German print full-length in scope + optical feature -The Spy Who Loved Me (1977): Optical feature -Moonraker (1979): Optical feature -For Your Eyes Only (1981): Optical feature -Never Say Never Again (1983): Derann 2x600' in scope -The Living Daylights (1987): Optical feature in Spanish + CEC pre-title sequence in scope -Licence To Kill (1989): Pre-title sequence -Goldeneye (1995): CHC pre-title sequence in scope -Tomorrow Never Dies (1997): German print full-length in scope (imported by CHC) -The World Is Not Enough (1999): German print full-length in scope (imported by CHC)
From Russia With Love (1963): German print full-length in scope + optical feature
I think the german full length print is not in scope as the film in original was also not in CS (Thunderball was the first bondfilm in CS).
The Spy Who Loved Me (1977): Optical feature
From this film was also a german full length feature in Scope available. I owned a print two years ago, but the quality was not so good, so the film was sold.

Joerg, all itanlian Bond prints were Pirate's copies. "You only live twice" and "Live and let die" are slightly abridged version while Goldfinger (first print I rent at a local store when I was 15) and "For your eyes only" (the second film I rent ) are complete. I think also Dr. No has been printed in italian, but I've never seen a copy of it.

I had the Derann S8 feature print of "Goldfinger" in magnetic sound but sold it to buy a movie poster from 1937.
I have the S8 scope print of "Thunderball" but I was under the impression it is a German print (Not Derann) that I had dubbed into english.
I also have the abridged airline print of "Thunderball" in Super 8 optical (flat) and the airline print of "From Russia With Love" in Super 8 optical flat. I don't believe any of the Super 8 airline prints were struck in scope. Just flat. I used to have the Super 8 optical airline print of "Dr. No"
I have a Super 8 airline print of "Live & Let Die" with a Spanish soundtrack and was told it also was struck in Super 8 with an english soundtrack. It's fun to hear Sir Roger speaking in Spanish.
In 16mm I have an odd reel from "Octopussy" that is from an airline print(also flat)on LPP low fade. The best action reel.
I have reels 2 through 7 of "Thunderball" in 35mm IB Technicolor (scope). Have been looking for a reel one since 1983.
I forgot! I also have a Super 8 optical airline print of "Diamond's Are Forever".

Chester, the CEC name should be changed to CHC as when I first read the list I got the impression people thought Cinema Entertainment Company had put out James Bond features. That was Gary Watson's company whom Barry Attwood used to work for and indeed bought out to start his own 'Independent 8'.
Strangely Chester is now looking extremely like Mike Peckham from my machine. Methinks the photos and user id's have got mixed up.

John,
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. I can't believe the lengths Chester went to in his desire to look like Mike. Actually, I've mentioned this to Brad and the world will be right again shortly.

The 8mm world can breathe easy. All pix are now with their rightful owners. If anyone is still seeing Mr. Peckham's visage instead of Mr. Brooks', just hit the reload icon on your browser. Thanks, Brad!
