Mountain films was my first introduction to 8mm package home movies..back in 1972/73...check the link below to see a view of the Mountain Home movie catalogue of the time. I remember this one well..

I only bought 200ft Mountain prints in the 70's such as "Big Dipper" and a "Paragliding" short etc etc, but to me, the print quality was never up to that of the Walton or W.D H.M. prints etc.

Bought a few features, but like you say quality was not their stong point. I wonder if the Fox & Columbia were poorer too.

Thanks guys...but to me the memories come flooding back with catalogues...I spent 3 years with just the exchange and mart for company...and a chad valley crank a film show p/j with 25ft cassettes (filmloops)...loved it though. Then got the mountain catalogues - very glossy as I remember. Then it all changed in Xmas 76...got the Baby Gioca...I KNOW...and through a lot of chat to my friend Derek S...he eventually forgave me for hiring stuff and pushing it through the Gioca (sewing machine)..still good days...great days. I still stay in touch with Adrian and Ged... great memories.

That is the catalog I've been waiting to see - Now, can you list all the extant RKO cut-downs of Clark & McCullough, Edgar Kennedy and Leon Errol, for me? I collect those, there weren't many released, and I would enjoy having a copy on that catalog or at least find another - The box-art about rivals CASTLE in some regards - Cheers from Shorty
