Kodak sold exclusive rights to the 50' 16mm cartridges to a company called Alan Gordon Enterprises in Hollywood. They are the only company that still makes fresh cartridges.
Go here for more info.
If you buy from them it's really, <u>really</u> expensive. I bought a few from a guy off eBay last year. He had bought out all the old stock from the Weather Channel so he only had Kodak Plus-X, but they were a lot cheaper than ones from Alan Gordon.
After dealing with the cartridge's downfalls I got a Keystone A-12 Criterion Deluxe. It takes daylight spools which, while a bit harder to load, give you double the film capacity and an overall cost of half.

No I'm not talking about cartridges but 50ft daylight spools! 
Thanks for the reply anyway tgreathead.
BTW you should be able to buy film on 100ft daylight loading spools direct from Kodak, they only sell certain stocks on 100ft spools AFAIK tho. The prices from Kodak for daylight spools are much cheaper than anywherwe else I have seen.
I'm just looking for 50ft daylight sppols so I can respool film onto them. Kodak does not sell film pn 50ft spools! lol.
