Update for April 2021

Time is indeed flying. We have had our one year anniversary, but we need to keep moving, and here is what we have been up to lately:

This update at a glance:

  • 2000 films with cover
  • Added trailers
  • Added posters

We have now passed 2000 films (releases) with a cover. This means that 35% of all releases in the database now have a cover. It is a lot of hard work behind these numbers, and a lot of great contributions from great people around us! Thanks again for everybody who has helped!

We have added trailers to the films where they are available. These are the trailers for the movies in the cinemas, and not for the Super 8 releases of course. 700 trailers have been added so far, and we have worked us trough roughly half of the movies we have releases from. The trailers are on YouTube, but you can watch them on our film pages.

We now have trailers on our site

We also have added posters to the movies. These posters are not shown in high resolution as they are there for reference only.

Posters are also present

We don’t try to duplicate IMDB or similar sites. We are all about Super 8, and it wasn’t obvious we would add these features to the site. But we think both trailers and posters help in giving the historical setting of the Super 8 release. At least for the movies from the 70s, you can now watch the trailer and look at the poster that all came in the same time period and see the cover images in this context.

Adding these two features have required a lot of work. We still need to put more work into adding trailers and posters, but we will also getting back to adding more films and covers.
