U.K. release dates for films??

[paul waines]

It's a long shot as most on here are from the States, but I'm trying to find a source of Release dates for films in the U.K. Mostly older films, you know 30's 40's etc...

So, Not the U.S. release, Just the U.K. release, and all subsequent releases in the U.K....  As an example, if a film was release 6 times over a 30 year period, all those 6 dates.!!  Doesn't need to be down to the day, just month and year.

Now I have used the BBFC in the past, but their site is abysmal, and full of errors. So looking to use elsewhere....

Any help in this matter would by quite the ticket...

Imdb.com has most release dates for most countries. Have you checked there?

Thanks Mel, I have checked there, but they are worse than the BBFC. Plus there's no info on the Re-releases...

Hi Paul,

I don't have any reliable sites I can direct you to for significantly older releases but check out the following;

http://www.launchingfilms.com/release-schedule

It will at least give you the chance to check back over the last several years for all releases (big and small) in the UK and also gives you the current schedule for the upcoming two years.

If I think of anything else I will be sure to let you know.

Maybe call the BFI Library? Surely they must have resources on this topic.
