Thomas Film Classics, your place for classic and rare films such as Charlie Chan, Blondie and Dagwood, Perry Mason

Thomas Film Classics was originally founded in 1974 by Dennis Thomas as an outlet for Classic movies on Super 8 MM Film. In 1977 this retail outlet became the world's first video movie store offering movies released on Beta and VHS for the collector. Dennis Thomas retired from retail in 1998 and upon retirement made it his mission to locate, preserve and offer to collectors the rare, hard to find classics that had fallen out of copyright and were now considered public domain.

It seems such a shame that so many wonderufl old gems have been neglected by the major distrobutors simply because public domain movies are not considered profitable. Finding good working material is not always easy. Because we are unable to work with original negatives or other prime working material we have to depend on the best source available. Over the years collectors all over the world have shared their rare movies and classics TV shows to help in our effort to offer the most extensive collection of wonderful, hard to find DVD's. We strive to provide the best possible service. Our goal is to ship orders out within 24 hours after order is receieved.
