I Found Someone's OLD Home Movies 60s/70s? (CineFilm/8mm) 

videos from the 50s, 60s, and 70s have always fascinated me. times seemed so much more simpler back then. i really need a time machine

The wedding at the 34 min. mark is from the early 80s. She is dressed in the Princess Diana outfit and I recognize the era from the clothes. I was married in the early 80s. Watching this makes me realize how much grace we have lost in the U.S. So much loss. I sure hope the family finds this video. It looks like they had a good life! Perfect selection of music for this project!

It feels weird in some way, watching a video that probably was left behind after the family was gone and seeing their life and memories :((

Fascinating, loving the Carry on Film music😊. Being a classic car buff I would say the earliest are mid 60s with a fair amount later 60s as there were a couple of Vauxhall Victor FD series which came out in 1967. The part near the end I would say early to late 70s, there were Mk3 Ford Cortinas and Austin Maxis in it. I really hope this finds it's family.

Kinda makes me sad, thinking how many of these people are dead and gone by now. I hope this was just a copy, and that the family still has these videos in one form or another. If not, maybe they'll stumble across this and rediscover lost footage of their loved ones.

Thank you so much for posting the wonderful movie! The footage is fun to watch and I am inspired to make some art. Thanks again!

This is lovely. Thanks for putting it online

Ok here's an idea , you could contact all smaller local radio stations in the area like hospital radio stations etc and let them know of your find and ask them to give your channel a shout out so that they could help you find the relatives and friends . It could be a theme , another unique way of tracking down family trees . They could ask other listeners if they have old films of people they would like to track down from the past . I think it's a GREAT story ;D It could become a mission for that community and grow from there to get the support of those all across Britain

The footage around the 25 minute mark on the Pier is definitely filmed at Deal. Also the footage at the 51 minute 40 sec mark looks very much like Great Yarmouth. I would say a lot of this footage is late sixties/early seventies (note the young girl in hotpants/bib shorts at 32 minutes almost certainly summer 1971) although the wedding at 36 minutes looks it was sometime in the early eighties.

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I have old photos of my family but no video. I use a reface app to put old photos on a few these clips and it's amazing that it's like my relatives work brought back to life in video

What a fantastic find. 1960's/70's. Love the Work's canteen and all the wedding and family holidays. Just a great stab in time of how we used to live. Hope someone in the film will recognise themselves. They must be out there somewhere. Love the Carry On music too. Very apt as it really was how we used to 'carry on' in those days, days I miss very much.

Great find hope some of there grandchildren see this thanks for sharing 👍

Cool footage, good musicl! Thanks for sharing this!

This is wonderfully put together. Absolutely excellent. The music is superb and matches exactly. I think it's from a Carry On film.

PERFECT music for this video, excellent job!!

Fantastic and the music was perfect reminded me of old carry on film music! Superb!

Very nice . Thanks for sharing .. Old good days...

Really enjoyed this, so glad you didn't dissytoy it or though it. Well dun for sharing this with us all. Did like the choice of music, it's well suited good choose, quite enhancing. It's better on RU-vid than in the bin. Well dun you are quite thoughtfull. Nice one

Rolls Royce PKS 969 registration at 42m:49s is registered at Roxburgh in Scotland between February and September 1963 - likely closer to September as it is a late number. This does not mean the wedding was filmed in Scotland as the car simply originated there, but it means the wedding is after those dates. At 57m:56s the same wedding appears showing a car with a yellow rear numberplate. These were only legal to display in the UK from 1968 and did not become compulsory on new vehicles until later, so this further dates the wedding.

What about the license plate at 10:40? This might be a way to identify the owner.

I love the way you started this! I am the same type, I found distant cousins, online, because I had special wedding photos which were found inside a grandfather clock that our 2nd great grandmother owned! Well, I got the photos to someone who cherished them, and I hope you find the original people who star in this video! I will bet, the pier and coastline pictured in the 2nd half, and able to be recognized by SOMEONE. I would love to see this on a national program in the UK, someone would recognize, someone. They have some amazing 60s dance moves!

Hey Tom really loved seeing this dvd. Loads o memories for me. Its a shame the family lost this film.

Sometimes I just want to travel back to the 50’s,60’s, or 70’s and show them an iPhone, and talk in slang we do now and see their reaction. They would probably think I was god

Peerless Playdium - and Holehaven caravan Park Canvey Island. Mostly around 1966-9 latest I'd say. Fascinating find - and loads of weddings!

Lovely of you Tom, to upload this footage. Has anyone come forward yet who know's anything? I have some old Cine I uploaded in the hope the family might find it too. Good job.

Fascinating to watch, nothing contrived all genuine people. hope you get answers and thanks for posting

I hope you manage to re-unite this family with their memorie's

Wonderful

haaahaahaa ;D this is so entertaining watching people dance like chickens , eat white triangular shaped sandwich's and that rather random bit where 2 men appear to be helping a lady put on some humungus elephant sized knickers ;D))) BRILLIANT ,dig the music you used too , yes it's a very Carry on movie indeed sir ;D

fascinating...but perhaps I would say that, being a cameraman and film-maker. Still, these old films always give me wonderful shivers ...the only way we humans can ever time travel, the only way we can see our past, echoes of forgotten years and distant voices of long-gone friends. I hope you find the family and get some answers and a story. If you found this in a DVD, then that means the original owners must have had the film converted quite recently, (relatively speaking) certainly within the last what, twenty years, max? The family, or at the least the blonde lady seen on the beach, must have had a fair income: cine film was expensive in the 60s, the camera had a zoom lens and good colour saturation, meaning a good quality lens. Plus, they had a Ford Transit Campervan, fairly new at the time. Any luck tracing the registration plates of the vehicles? Thanks for sharing, these glimpses of our past lives are wonderful to watch.

In the opening scene people are getting certificates and hand shakes. I would say it is a long term service award party, companies used to do that.

i don't think they would lose this. they're probably all gone and this was left behind.

The house done up in bunting, I wonder if it was for the 1966 world Cup? Sure looks like mid 60s. Love the clips of the carry on music 👍

My grandad was a cine film enthusiast and sadly he's just recently (a few weeks ago) passed away from COVID-19 and my dad is running through his reels; he told me earlier he's just seen one of his nan (who died just after I was born) so I'm off to see them tomorrow.

thats whats left of us,charity shop or box at an auction.

80s wedding they are doing the Wham Dance!!

Very cool

I wonder what was going on at the start ? It was obviously filmed around Christmas time - As somebody said, some sort of achievment/award party ? Even the cook is included !

Hi Tom. This is such amazing footage. Thanks for sharing it. I know you have said it is OK for others, but I just wanted to check if you mind me using some of this in a project, if I credit you and provide a link in my video description. I also wonder if you are happy to say whereabouts in Kent you found the DVD. My project is based on the Medway area. Thanks 😊

Hi Tom, this footage is incredible. I would love to use a short loop from this video as a visualiser for one of my bands songs on Spotify, is this ok? The burns and transitions in the footage are perfect 🤩

The first film looks like a factory or a bus depo canteen ?

Hi! amazing footage. As others have said, the pier scenes 25:17 - 27:30 is absolutely Deal in Kent, I grew up there and it's great seeing the older footage! My partner is currently recording his first single, and we are looking for old footage for the video, would you be happy for him to use a few clips, and credit you/the channel? Many thanks!

@33:10 - Specifically, that piece of music was most certainly from "CARRY ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE" !

love looking at the typical 60s wedding but I refused one myself 🤣

If it was America, I'd be on firmer footing, but I would say most of it is right around 1960, though the wedding at the end seems much later, mid to late 1970s. Which makes me wonder if the two blond young men in the wedding were two of the boys in the bathtub. Kind of wonder if the camera sat in a closet for a decade or more. Just guessing, of course, but my wife runs an historical society and I spend a lot of time looking at old stuff. In any case, good find and good job!

I attend a lot of auctions and can tell you it is normal for all your photos and films to end up in old boxes and sold a job-lots after you die. I once bought a lot because it had a slide viewer and it came with 1000s of slides. I made the mistake of doing a Facebook search for the people and was contacted by a woman who told me it was all 'grandads stuff' we got rid off when he died. They never bothered looking at the slides and I got lumbered with copying and sending them on to her-I wont do any searches online next time. Sad fact is this is how most of our 'treasured memories' are going to end up unless we sort it out before we pop off!

50 min in,, red trains looked quite like Canvey Island

The "Carry-On" music is quite appropriate given that the guy @6:07 looks like Charles Hawtrey !

The white Rolls at 42:35 is PKS 9. The car at 51:11 is VBM 114 which means it is pre-1963 which would be unusual for 1980s. It is the same caravan at 51:11 as at 10:42 and the Bedford plate there is YXX 302 (pre 63) It can not be sequential film. Very distinctive blocks of flats in background at 34:20 and a business sign in the background at 21:35 that says 'Edmunds Walker Co Ltd (?)

Very mixed - The same family at various different stages of their lives ? I wonder if the adults in the later clips were the kids in the early ones ? - I guess the same dog that pops up in the various clips is a clue !

@50.21 Peerless Playdium, Canvey Island, UK before it sustained heavy damage from the storm in 1987. Then became known as Parkins Palladium.

That's Austin Powers in the wedding video.

Wonder if some of the 1960s color footage is Ilford's color Ilfochrome or Ilford Colorcine. It was their answer to Kodakchrome.

There is a total of 6 weddings on this film. The white van at 11:23 is also beside the caravan at 51:11

I fucking love that film camera vibe. I want 8mm color camera :(

Hello mate, I'm a film student from Liverpool and was hoping I'd be able to use some of the clips in this video for my final year film? It would be greatly appreciated if so, couldn't work out how to message you privately so hopefully you see this comment. All the best.

Unfortunate common event when weird uncle Ebert finally croaks and they throw out all his sh** without even looking through it, and valuable information is lost.

Hi Tom loving the footage! I notice you're ok with this being used in other ways, so asking out of courtesy if you're ok with me using some clips for a personal music video.. mainly seaside stuff! thanks in advance :-)

@Tom Gallagher Sir, I am very interested in using some of this footage. We are a small band that makes lounge music and we need old 8 or 16mm`s movies and random shots.. Not particular, but random that can capture the "mood" of our lounge music.. Do you have some more footages? Are you willing to give (or maybe sell) us ?

The chicken dance was an actual dance move? 💃

38.36 Shaldon, Devon..

That’s Great Yarmouth

Great video could of done with a few Sid James laughs

Happy Halloween

Where did you find this ? Laying on a vench in London?

Hi, may I use clips from this on my short video? It's for a romantic scene. I can gladly add your name to the thank you credits. I need about 10 seconds of footage.

11:48 When you get your fashion sense from Ronnie Corbet...

This is time travel

At 18min into the video that looks like Rhaeadr Ewynnil Swallow Falls Waterfall.

Did you find the family?

These, are nice old 8mm movies, who's are they?

It's definitely not the 70s. The quality feels more like the 50s/60s.

40.50 Teignmouth, Devon..

Hi Tom. Any luck finding the owners? I'd love to use some of this footage for a music video. Matt

I, found the first, video very silly, silly, silly !!

its funny without internet this movie would have eventually died in an old box 📦 but it was filmed long before internet was a thought

18:26 20:22

I think that’s a restaurant or a bar

The music is too distracting
