The "loops" (short ten (?) minute pornos they showed in peepshow booths) were on 8mm. You could buy them for home viewing too (8mm projector required). These were silent movies. (could be in b/ w or color.) They also made the short porn loops on Super 8mm, and these had sound (I think they were in color only).
Longer films they would screen in theaters were made on 16mm a lot, but I think the famous Golden Era ones were made on 35mm, the same as regular feature films.
Then video replaced film for making pornos.
I bet you could buy some of these old 8mm (and Super 8) films on Ebay if you looked, and probably a projector. Then you could hang up a sheet for a screen and host your own stag film parties in your basement. You might want to take out an ad in your local paper and charge admission.

Loops were usually shot on 16mm film and then sold on 8mm film/Super 8mm film. The full length films were shot on 16mm to 35mm. As for storage, they seem to have been stored in all sorts of ways. Some people, like Cecil Howard, seem to have taken very good care of their films where as others, like The Mitchell Brothers, have not. I've read reports that many negatives and prints rotted away in the Mitchell Brothers' basement. Some prints are just found in abandoned rooms in former adult cinemas.

Thanks 5 the full coverage. I dislike when people do no take care of equipment. Maybe it was unintentional

there is a company, alpha blue archives, that acquired old pornos and transferred them to VHS (in the late 90s) and now they would be on DVD.
i think they have a pretty large collection.
