Pictures from times gone by, left on the film, then brought to light years (sometimes decades) later.

I started this as I was unable to find a subreddit specifically for this.

If you have developed a roll of film that has sat in a shoebox, in the basement, a sock drawer, etc. and wish to share it with the world, here is the place.

Show off your images, talk about techniques, ask for advice. If it is related to old film, here's the place.

Found some film but don't know what to do with it? Ask around and see if there is someone willing to develop it for you!

The film could be from last year, or the 1900's. Doesn't matter, as long as it had been forgotten, then found.

Film About Falkland War?

I saw this in school in the late 90’s maybe early 00’s.

A boy finds an Argentine solider and I think brings him food along with trying to keep him hidden away from his family members.

It’s a very faint memory so I may be off here!

Kid’s Movie 90s/early 2000s

I can barelyyy remember how it goes, but I remember tiny live action people living in maybe a child’s bedroom. They could be toys? They were in costume and maybe face paint. I could’ve swore there was maybe a toy train they rode on at some point. I’m not sure if this will jog anyone’s memory as it barely jogs mine but I’m desperate for any lead lol. It probably wasn’t even a full length movie.

Need help remembering the name of a move I saw before.

Does anyone remember the name of a film that featured a scene of a family, I think, being murdered by a group of mercenaries? From what I remember a female character was killed while she was taking a bubble bath. A young girl was shot in the back while running away from the killers and another character, male, was shot multiple times while trying to crawl away. A key detail that I remember was that Transformers g1 was playing on a TV in the background of the scene. If anyone knows the name of this film then I'd appreciate it.

Need help remembering the name of a movie I watched years ago.

There was this movie I saw long ago that featured a hard to watch scene. From what I remember the scene was of a family, I think, being murdered by a group of mercenaries or something. A blonde woman was shot and killed as she was taking a bubble bath. A young girl was shot in the back while running away from the killers. A male character, who had already been shot, was crawling away until one of the killers saw him and shot him multiple times. I remember one of the other killers stopping him, telling him that he was dead because the guy wouldn't stop shooting him. A big detail that I remember was that Transformers G1 was playing on a TV in the background of the scene. I think the main character was played by a black actor. I think that it was Denzel Washington but I could be wrong. Another main character was a young girl, probably in her teens or early 20s. This is my first post ever so hopefully I was clear. I'd appreciate anyone's help in remembering this movie's name.

Help finding old childhood film about a doll

Hey, so I've not posted here but I have memories of this film and i need help finding it.

I remeber it starts live action with this brither and sister going to bed (they have bunk beds) before it zooms in on the girls doll house and switches to animated where the doll wakes up in a woods and meets a unicorn. I can't remember the plot but it was an average adventure-esque film and one other key thing I remeber was mid-way through the film it switches back to love action for a little bit where the girl wakes up and plays with the doll in the dollhouse.

I know the doll had blonde hair. It kinda felt like a rip-off barbie film cuz I'm like 99% sure it wasn't a barbie one.

But yeah, any help finding this would be much much appreciated.

Old roll of Kodachrome II KR 135-20 to develop

Hi All,

My wifes late grandfather had an old vintage SLR and to my surprise there was still film in the camera. I advance the film and rewound it but would like to find someone to give it a shot at developing it for me. I know that the Kodachrome color process is a no go but have heard that it could be developed in B&W. Anyone willing to give it a shot?

Help me find a movie

Hello, I've been trying to find the name of the film for a long time, I don't remember the plot at all, only some moments. I only remember the beginning, a girl (I think she was young) was running through a dark forest from some man, after which she either fell or hid in a hole herself, after which her phone rang and she was caught. Then there were moments with some college or university, there were occult rituals (I'm not sure), as I remember there was some kind of club on this topic. That's all I remember. I had the film on DVD, and it looked very old, maybe it was filmed in the 2000s, but I'm not sure 🥲 I would be very grateful if you could help me with anything 😄

Can I get 1960s Kodak Tri-x pan film developed anywhere?

Hey just wondering if I can get Tri-x pan from 1962 developed anywhere or can I use regular b&w chemistry to develop it? It does say tx 135-36 on the side of the box if that helps (I have no idea what it means) Thanks for any help!

Where can I send some pretty old film?

https://preview.redd.it/fy07aknhpzgd1.jpg?width=1536&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6c434025ce9b1829c42ddadaa03e61fa61c64958

I bought this old bellows camera on Facebook Marketplace to use as a cosplay prop and it had an exposed roll of 116 film in it. Is there somewhere I could send it or donate it? I'm interested in what's on it but also a little too broke right now pay a lot to develop pictures of someone else's dead relatives, so I'm wondering if there's any found film projects that are currently accepting donations, or if anyone here is interested in trying to develop it?. The camera is a No. 1A Pocket Kodak Series II (ignore the kids toy digital camera in the photo lmao). I'm in Chicago and could send it anywhere in the US for free, or possibly internationally if the shipping price isn't too bad or if the receiver is willing to pay for a label. Let me know if anyone wants some pre-1984 film from a pre-1931 camera!
