Yes, Expired film is still processable. I just took pictures with an expired 35mm disposable camera that expired in 2002... and the pictures came out! The colors were not as vibrant as they would have been with new film, but not so bad for 7 year old film. If I wasn't comparing the pictures with a new roll of film, you wouldn't notice the difference.

How long can you keep 35MM film and still develop good pictures?
Yes. It can sit on a shelf for about a year before it'll expire. However, you can stick the film in a freezer to extend its lifespan. All 35mm. film should have an expiry date on the box. For color film it is a pretty good guide as color will shift on expired film. Black and white will last longer than it's expiry date by a year or so.Refrigeration will make a difference but not much.Store you new film in the refrigerator.We always did in the studio. Some photographers use expired film to achieve certain effects. When film is aged, it can result in unpredictable color, saturation, and contrast shifts, Often giving photos a vintage look. I've shot with film that was five years expired. The shots came out desaturated(color not as vivid) but others wise developed well. Bottom line, don't use expired film for weddings, or other important photographs, unless your willing to take the risk. Addendum by InunoTaisho: I spent 18 years as a photo technician and saw just about everything happen to film that you could think of during that time. Here's how it works, as I understand it: Once you expose film to light, a chemical reaction is started. That reaction will not fully stop until you process it in the proper chemical baths. This means that unexposed film has a longer shelf/refridgeration life than film that has been used in a camera and exposed. If you expose film but don't process it right away, it will very gradually degrade in quality until the entire frame of each image is nothing but grey in color with no discernable image at all. How long that takes varies by how the film is stored, and in some rare cases, very old film (five+ years) will still process okay with reasonable images. Typically, those will at least be very grainy and unsatisfying. Nearly all labs store their unexposed film in very cool dry location like a special refridgerator made for the purpose. This can and does extend the useful life of the film. However, if you choose to keep film in your home refridgerator for any reason, use a sealable (zip) plastic bag and keep them in the dark if you can. Just don't forget they are there!! The very worst thing you could do would be to expose your film and toss it in a drawer or in the bottom of a purse. It's most likely to be forgotten there and you don't want to trust precious baby pictures, vacation pictures, or wedding pictures to such locations. Process those event pix right away, and use a good lab to do the work.
