Ooops, Graham! I had made the post a bit in advance, and I had forgot to turn off the password protection I used before I launched. I have fixed that now. Thanks for the heads up!
I have added all films from this thread now except the ones from Edward as I miss some information there. Do you have the information about reels, color and distributor for these three Edward?
City heat Warner brothers Clint Eastwood Burt Reynolds 97mins 3x 600 feet color
The Thirty Nine Steps 1978 Robert Powell David Warner John Mills Rank Organisation 102 mins 5x400 feet color
Nadia Joann Carlo story of Nadia Comaneci 1984 100mins United States Yugolslavia tv movie 5x400 feet color
I have noticed you have not included Collectors Club/Collectors Films in your list of Distributors. Also do you intend (perhaps later on) to show more then just the Colour Sound versions of films that also had B&W and silent versions sold by the same distributor also Flat and 'scope versions of the same title?
Walton did make a 400 feet 20 mins color sound flat
all films are flat only and no other digest were made opictal prints for airplane screenings
Nadia change 140mins 7x 400 feet
Elvind-Do I PM you for the info I want to add or just post here? Also there are lists in the old forum of releases maybe Douglas Meltzer can direct you to them. I remember there was a list of Universal, Columbia, and a big list of Tom & Jerry's.
Edward: When you say "Warner brothers" did they actually distribute the Super 8, or was there a different Super 8 distributor for a Warner Bros film?
Brian: We will indeed include both color and b/w, sound, silent, scope and flat. We register a version when we know about it. If we get aware of a different version, we register that one too. Many of the present films in the database are from fellow collectors, and color/sound is more popular, and thus more common in the current database. But as soon as we learn about a different version, we register that one too. I just want to be certain before I register a version.
Collectors Club/Collectors Films is more than welcome in the database :-) We added a few of the most common ones in addition to the ones we have films for. As soon as a new (English) film surfaces from a new distributor, that distributor is added as well.
Larry: If you have a lot of information or cover scans to give us, please contact us by mail at feedback at super8database.com (replace " at " with "@"). That Universal list is indeed of interest, but it doesn't say which reel size it is, if it is color or b/w, or if it is sound or silent. I would need that first to include the films. Maybe someone could help me with this?
The Columbia list has a known reel size. And I presume it didn't have any silent ones? But the color status is still unknown for me. Again, someone being able to tell me about this would be great!
In the Western Genre, Shane was released as a full feature 6 x 400ft by Derann, and Last Train From Gun Hill was released as a full feature 6 x 400ft by Viacom.
