The Film Detective searches the world for classic
movies and returns them to their original crisp
clear image - vintage films have never looked so
good! Launched in 2014 The Film Detective has
established itself as one of the leaders in film
restoration and distribution. With over 3000 hours
of entertainment from silent films to cult classics
The Film Detective is the ultimate classic movie
streaming platform.
All of our titles are transferred from original film
elements and many are restored in HD. When you
compare our product to some of the others on the
market you will see the difference. Our films are
brighter the image is sharper and the sound is
clearer. We achieve this through the painstaking
work done by a team dedicated to restoring
classic films. By the time we present these
classics they are not just rediscovered - they are
reborn!
At The Film Detective we aren’t limited to the
classics and the Oscar winners. We also have
plenty of B-movies and monster flicks. Some of
them haven’t looked this good since they first
played at the drive-in 50 years ago! A few things
