Oban in Scotland in 1958
A standard 8mm vintage home movie which shows the town and countryside around Oban in Scotland in the summer of 1958
This category page features all the films on Vintage Home Movies which were shot in the 1950s. This could be films which have markings to prove they were shot between 1950 and 1959, but it also includes films where I’ve made that categorization based on the content of the film.
The 1950s and the 1960s were the ‘Golden Age’ of home movies when many people started to be able to afford to purchase the equipment necessary to take and show this form of home entertainment. I’m fairly confident therefore that as Vintage Home Movies grows, the films from the 1950s (and the equivalent 1960s page) will end up with the most content.
