Unhappy List of film releases?
Does anyone know where I can find - either in print or on the web - a list of all the films released in the UK year by year? By that I mean ALL films, whether British or otherwise. I tried visiting a large local library with a view to combing through old issues of Films and Filming, only to find that they employ a man to chop the magazines up and keep details of films he considers significant pasted on card.
The mind boggles.

Go to a better library?

What about other magazines like Sight and Sound?

Gaumont - If you are really serious about this you will have to go to the British Newspaper Library at Colindale in north-west London. The relevant papers they keep are
Today's Cinema: News and Property Gazette
4 February 1928 - 8 November 1957 : Nos. 1-7900
Continued as: The Daily Cinema
11 November 1957 - 23 December 1968 : Nos. 7901-9616
Continued as: Today's Cinema
1 January 1969 - 13 November 1971 : Nos. 9617-9955
Continued as: Cinema TV Today
20 November 1971 - 30 August 1975 : Nos. 9956-10149
Then
Screen International: The Paper of the Entertainment Industry
London
6 September 1975- : No. 1- .

There are loads of rules like you can only get 4 volumes out at a time if you pre-order and the hours are quite limited from 10:00 to 17:00 (although they start turfing you out at 16:30). You also need 2 forms of id including proof of address.

PM me if you need to know more as I go up there all the time.

Cheers
Mr C

You can go to IMDB.com and type in a british title. Scroll down the page and you will see the country of origin (UK). Click that and then on the left you can choose to see the titles in the year of release. Hope this helps. Barry.

Or use the advanced search at The Internet Movie Database (IMDb).
That lets you select the country, the year or year range and things like genre or keywords, popularity and you can also get it to exclude TV shows
