I bought several films from them many years ago. They were on 200' spools and features were issued in parts. I seem to remember that they would send out monthly lists of the films available. The quality was pretty good and I still have their prints of "Cops", "Easy Street" and "The Great Train Robbery" from 1903. Who remembers them?

Will,

You want to talk to Lee Mannering, he told me he has every single title that Collectors Club issued, and there was quite a few. They specialised in mainly silent films, but had a range of sound titles too!

Thanks, Barry. That must be testament to the quality of their films. They are regularly listed on eBay, usually by sellers who have no idea about them.
