If you collect Super 8mm films, one of your first calls will be to
Derann Films Services. Derann are one of the last remaining major distributors of super
8mm films in the World.
They feature a large selection of films from The Lion King, The Reptile, The King And I, The Sound Of Music, Sleeping Beauty, African Queen, El Cid, to name just a few of the features. On the shorts front they have Tom & Jerry cartoons, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Newsreels, Trailers, Commercials, and other varied titles that come in from time to time.

Derann also publish "Films For The Collector" which is an A4 sized magazine consisting of about 40 pages per issue. Quite varied in content it is published 4 times per subscription period, but it may take more than 12 months to complete a subscription period. The cost is UK £14.00 Europe £18.00 USA/Elsewhere £22.00. You also get the Derann Sales List sent to you, which lists both Super 8mm & 16mm films for sale. Now charged for.
I have used Derann Films from the start of my film collecting days (from about 1975). I hired my first film from their library, (now closed). Derann have supported the Super 8mm film collector through thick & thin.
In 2002 Derek Simmons the founder of Derann Film Services sadly passed away.

Phil Sheard a film collector who a few years ago started a business from home called Classic Home Cinema. Well they have expanded, and opened a shop in Cleethorpes (contact Phil for full info).
Phil the manager tells me the shop is dedicated to film, which probably makes the shop unique in the U.K. and perhaps the World! Remember that's film and film equipment and memorabilia. (I hope to visit in the near future and take a few photos to include on the web site).
Classic buys and sells both Super 8mm and 16mm films. Phil has also released a few of his own titles on Super 8mm. If you need any film equipment give Classic a try, they may have what you need.
They are also the only other company in the world to issue new releases on Super 8. In January 2003 Phil gave me his latest lists Classic had 11 new releases on Super 8. One of these releases is the feature 'The Ghost Of Frankenstein' 3 x 600'
In addition to selling films, Classic also deal with other sections of
the collecting scene POSTERS
LASERDISCS
DVD'S
FILM BOOKS
SOUVENIR BROCHURES
CLASSIC POSTER REPRINTS
If you send a large SAE to Phil you will get his *LARGE* sales list by return. Phil will also send you the list via E-Mail if you send him your e-mail address.
I have bought a quite few films from Phil over the past few years and found a few rare titles. Prices are very fair, of course if the film is a rare title expect to pay more, the quality is usually good too.
Classic have a fantastic projector for sale the Fumeo HL2000, would I like this projector.
Classic Home Cinema attends all the major UK Film Conventions that run throughout the year.
