Since I deal with this stuff everyday let me add that it
 is very much still available since producers use it for
Super 16 and most newer cameras are designed to use it. 
While Fuji and Agfa both have a variety of 
stocks available Eastman is far and away considered
the best.

But the 2 stocks listed are TUNGSTEN balanced negative
stocks. 7245 is an ISO 50 Daylight balanced stock, 7293
is a 200 tungsten, 7287 is also a 200 tungsten but has
flattened curves so it's a more forgiving stock (but most
of my clients don't like it for it looks flat). 7298 is a 500
tungsten and is generally thought to be finer grained than
7296. Kodak also has reversal (Ektachrome and Kodachrome)
and B&W in both neg. and reversal (I think).

And about the thread dealing with 3D cameras show in movies...
Last week I saw that Richard Dreyfuss was carrying IT's
3D Magic disposable into the Oscars.
