Welcome to Vintage Classic Movies. My name is Tom and I am an official classic movie junkie! For quite some time I have been asked by friends, associates and other movie collectors to post a site containing a year by year list of my ever growing classic movie collection. So listed here are 7,000 films from the early 20's through 1963. I have included full length classic films as well as short films. Although I do have a considerable amount of films post 1963, I find that the classic movies made between 1925-1960 are, in my humble opinion, the best movies ever made and thus I have concentrated on listing only those films here with a few exceptions.
I started collecting films quite a few years ago. Many of my films have been recorded from the wonderful, and not to be taken for granted, Turner Classic Movies! What a treasure we have in TCM. I have also recorded quite a few from the Fox Movie Channel. My other film sources have been fellow collectors, and friends throughout the world! All of my classic films are on DVD-R and I have had no problems whatsoever with the DVD technology. Films I recorded almost 7 years ago on DVD-R are holding up perfectly.
I am constantly asked the following questions....."how many of your 7,000 classic films have you actually watched? and "why do you record all those movies?....you'll never watch them all!" I think I have watched around 2,200 out of the 7,000. Will I ever watch every single one of them? No.......but when I'm in the mood for some crazy black & white b-movie from 1941 - I can easily find one I've never seen!! Ain't life grand.
The question I'm asked most is "Do you make classic movie copies Tom??" Yes, I offer DVD-R movie copies as a "collector to collector service" as long as the movie is not commercially available on DVD or about to become available!! - I don't offer fancy packaging or artwork because I'm NOT trying to fake anyone out and represent myself as a distributor! - PLEASE TAKE NOTE: This site is a complete listing of the films in my collection - that does not mean that you can purchase a copy of any film listed on this site. PLEASE check Amazon.com or whichever DVD retailer you prefer before placing an order with me - MANY of the films listed on my site are commercially available therefore I will not make you a copy of them! If you send me an email asking for something that IS commercially available....I will reply with a URL to amazon.com where you can purchase a copy! I offer DVD-R copies of unavailable classic films as a service for people who have no other way to see these classic films. I do not provide this service to re-sellers and the DVD-R copy I provide is for private home viewing only. No rights are given or implied.
