Cine started the expanding revolution of 'play at home' movies, with the most famous of the early films being the classic 'Eat The Pie' by the legendary Harry Darwin.

Cine film started out expensive, but as it became cheaper the format started the craze of home recording. 50ft reels were purchased for recording important events such as weddings and funerals. Profits soared to an all time high with purchases of film for the moon landings in 1969. Herswashbucklers, the famous cine supplies shop in London rose to stardom from it's sales for this event.

However, sales started to decline in the early 1970's with the introduction of 16mm film, and the new cheap 'Cawhorn Prot' cameras that were, at the time, imported from Germany.
