Nathan,
do you mean a computer scanner? If so, any Epson PHOTO scanner will be able to do this.
They generally come with an adaptor for 35mm slides or negs, but you can still scan movie film. These are cheaper than the dedicted film scanners, but obviously not the same quality. The results are ...

I feared as much!
