Ten years ago I bought and brought a brick of film with me on a 2500 mile cross-country drive. I accidently left it in my parents' spare fridge in the basement. My mom reminded me about it recently. I asked her what kind it was, thinking it was one kind of Kodak something-or-other 800. She sent me a huge list! It has probably been in this fridge the entire time.

I probably left 15 rolls of the same kind of film there. I have no idea where it went because they probably wouldn't have touched it. I'm thinking it was the Max 800. The Kodachrome 160T Tungsten is probably mine from 20-22 years ago!

Is any of it still good?

My dad is flying here next week and she said he would bring it. I immediately thought "NO" because of damage from scanning. If it is any good, could travel wreck the film?

She also said a few rolls have 6 inches of film sticking out from the ends. I can't think of anyone that would have pulled it out. 😉 Is this from sitting too long?

Thanks!

your dad should put it in the hand luggage since the scanner on the check ins is much stronger.
I'd love to try the Ektachrome 400 & 160T !
 
The Kodachrome films for the K-14 process are useless now, as there is nobody left to develop them. The rest should be fine, or at least OK (for the really old ones).
 
Thanks for all the info. I told my mom to keep it safe in the fridge until I get back again. She said her only concern was that they might have been next to onions from time to time. 😀

I'll let you know how it goes when I eventually get to it. Thanks again.
