I have a question for the experienced collectors here, and mr. Everette in particular. Would it be possible to create a list of all the "classic epics" that are on 8mm?
By silent epics I reckon all "epic" films that exceed two hours in length from the black/white silent era, and what format it was released on.
The reason for making this list is simple, I am very interested in these old films, and would actually go as far as saying that getting a hold of most of these old epics is the prime part of my collection. Having gotten a hold of the famed Bolex 18-5, I now have the ability to project both 8mm formats aswell, so a list of films with format, for reference, would be great ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
EDIT:
The list has now been expanded to include other notable films from the silent era, and added blank titles for you to help me out with ;-)

Christian ...
I remember seeing just recently a NIles print of "Nosferatu" (1922). Please note however, it came in a Niles box and I couln't see the title on the lid, so I can't be absolutely certain on thyat title.
I wonder if "Vampyr" would be considered a silent film? It was shot as a silent, but released in both a silent and sound version, and was released on standard 8mm. I used to have a print, but If my collection serves me, it was re-titled, "Castle of Fear". Beautiful, moody, atmospheric film!
