Just found out that fuji real discontinued my favorite color film 
Quickly ordered 10 boxes of 5 rolls.... Seeing the total for 20 boxes was a bit much also a bit much to explain to my wife what all that film is doing in the freezes
At the same time she just got the taste for taking images with her Holga was using this film....

Not so new now.
Happened over a year ago. It is why I finally bought a digicam.

A shame for sure. Hope they at least keep 160C going for a while.

I may have 60+ rolls in the fridge.
It is my favorite negative film.

D'oh!
I no longer use any Fuji films - I swore them off when they kept killing off films that I used. Ilford is my favorite for B&W, Kodak for color.

I never cared for it myself, but regardless, I'm sorry for those who did like it.

Never used one myself, but it indeed has a very nice color pallet.
I myself use Fuji for E6, Kodak for C41 and Ilford (or others) for BW. Hard to predict whether Kodak or Fuji will last longer - Kodak removed many films already, but they also updated (and at the same time economized) their Portra family and brought the Ektar 100. But recently Fuji discontinued many films. I hope that Velvia and Provia 100 and 400X are to stay, although I would understand if Fuji would limit the number of Velvia films.
The best we can do to keep the film longer is to USE IT. I am doing my best, are you?

My "go to" general purpose color negative film. I tried the new Ektar (and still do), but the Reala gave me more consistent results. About a dozen rolls left in the freezer.

I think b/w will outlive colour simply because C-41 processing has to be done commercially for consistency (and avoidance of nasty chemicals). For that reason, I'm not stocking up on colour film - I'll buy it as I need it - but I have stocked up on b/w.
You'll still be able to buy Reala for ages. Neopan 1600 was discontinued a while ago but is easy to find mail-order.

The whole bunch of consumer CN films are rather similar now that pretty much every print first goes through a scanner - consolidating to one film per speed is quite a reasonable thing to do.
At least as long as one consumer CN film with huge exposure latitude remains - Ektar is nice, but quite unusual in that it does not like being overexposed, which makes it a poor choice for AF point-and-shoots (which usually have overexposure-heavy programs tailored to match consumer CN film).

I never liked it due to the weird colours I got when scanning. I much prefer superia, scans nicer.

Ditto Plus-X apparently (see Kodak's website).
