List of silent films released on 8mm or Super 8mm film

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Decades before the video revolution of the late 1970's/early 1980's, there was a small but devoted market for home films in the 16mm, 8mm, and Super 8 mm film market. Due to the fact that most individuals in America owning projectors did not have one equipped with sound, vintage silent films were particularly well-suited for the market. A number of feature films were released in full-length versions from the 1960's until the market essentially evaporated in the early 1980's with the advent of home video, which made collecting films considerably cheaper. The silent feature films were released on multi film reels, each holding approximately 20 minutes of film, and were often expensive for the era, a feature-length Super 8mm silent film might cost over $100 in 1970's dollars.
