Cumming, GA
I have been collecting 16mm and 8mm films since I was 10. Any other film collectors here? I know there are a few...

Quoted from ForceFlow:Todd at TNT is a collector
I used to live in NJ and work in PA so Todd and I became friends. Todd used to loan me awesome films to take home and show the family. Really a good person.
I have been working on a Laurel & Hardy 16mm collection. I used to collect the 8mm and Super 8 films as a kid and when I got back into collecting in 1999, I started collecting 16mm. I need about 13 short films and 5 features to be complete. The 13 shorts are mostly silent and silent films are harder to find in 16mm. Fun hobby but on the costly side.

Quoted from Chrisbee:Wow, I have 100's of 16mm from features to educational and ad's. My prize is a 16mm copy of Metropolis (Fitz Lang 1927) » YouTube video
I have a fair bit of 8mm and Super 8 including 6 Jonny Holmes, I also have a bunch 9.5mm Path which I have never seen (No Projector).
I also had a few features on 35mm, but gave them away when I sold my 2 x 35mm projectors.
Awesome! My prize 16mm film is John Barrymore in "Don Juan". A beautiful 1976 50th anniversary print. "Metropolis" or "Diary of a Lost Girl" would surpass it for sure. My Laurel And Hardy collection is at about 85% complete on shorts and 70% complete on features. The short silent films are the hardest to find.
This is my Laurel & Hardy short film wanted list. I have everything not listed (sometimes in multiples). Need a few features as well, but not in any hurry (have the best of the features except a good copy of "Babes in Toyland").
Looking for the following Laurel & Hardy shorts:
The Lucky Dog
Forty Five Minutes From Hollywood
Duck Soup
Why Girls Love Sailors
Sugar Daddies
Sailors Beware
The Second Hundred Years
Now I'll Tell One (Charley Chase)
Call Of the Cuckoo
Flying Elephants
The Finishing Touch
From Soup to Nuts
Their Purple Moment (Need two copies of Reel 1 but will buy both - or trade a reel 2 for a reel 1)
Should Married Men Go Home
Early To Bed
Habeas Corpus
We Faw Down
Unaccustomed as We Are (Sound)
Bacon Grabbers
Twice Two

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:I've been wanting to get into collecting films for years - where the hell do you guys find these? I've always wanted a 16mm (or, hell, 35mm) of Jaws and Star Wars
There's forums for everything, start at: http://16mmfilmtalk.com/
Films like those are VERY expensive, I'm talking "Stern LE" expensive.
