I transferred to digital some 8mm color movies that my father shot between 1938-40. The splices had often dried out and failed, but the films themselves and the color was as if they were shot yesterday. Kodacolor lasts at least!

You're lucky! I tried to transfer some of my dad's 8mm movies from the 1950s & 1960s but half of them turned into goop. This was about 20 years ago, and the nitrate film had dissolved, probably because the cans weren't airtight. Only got a few converted.
