Very Last Call for 16mm Blackhawk Prints from FilmClassic.com

For years now, Ray Healy in New Jersey been one of the last. He has been selling new 16mm prints of a choice list of titles from the old Blackhawk Films home/educational distribution catalogs, salted with some goodies of his own. For the last some years he’s been reliably found online at FilmClassic.com. I’ve bought from Ray, and he’s top notch.

Unfortunately, the duplication lab used by Ray for his offerings from the Blackhawk titles is closing up shop and he will not be able to offer them any longer. August 15, 2007 is the very last day for orders. Like, in just a few days.

So if you have any interest at all in collecting 16mm prints of silent comedies, go immediately to the Blackhawk offerings at FilmClassic.com and send in an order right away. He doesn’t do credit cards or PayPal, so you’ll have to overnight a check or money order. The clock is ~~ticking~~ now stopped.

Meanwhile, Mr. Healy does inform me that he will continue to offer his “Exclusives” listing of films for the foreseeable future. Which is at least some good news.
