'''Samuel Goldwyn Films''' is the current independent film company of '''Samuel Goldwyn''', Jr. formed in 1999, two years after his [[The Samuel Goldwyn Company|former production company]] was folded into [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] and transferred most of the library into it, even though he started producing and distributing independent movies later on. Now, his son Peter co-runs the company after his father died on January 9, 2015. With some exceptions, [[Sony Pictures Home Entertainment]] handled the home entertainment rights of most of the SGF releases until the late 2010s, when SGF began self-distributing their titles on home media. Since 2020, SGF have been licensing Sony Pictures-owned titles for Amazon Prime and other streaming services. | '''Samuel Goldwyn Films''' is the current independent film company of '''Samuel Goldwyn''', Jr. formed in 1999, two years after his [[The Samuel Goldwyn Company|former production company]] was folded into [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios|MGM]] and transferred most of the library into it, even though he started producing and distributing independent movies later on.
