I've shot some HP5 and FP4 that was 6 years past expiry, stored lying around. The end result was very grainy, low contrast photos. Didn't like it at all, although I could see that it might be useful for certain types of shots.
I have also shot 1-2 year expired E100G stored in a freezer that was as good as new. And have had a bunch of colour film (Superia/Gold/Portra), various speeds that were 3-6 years past expiry, not stored in a freezer. The grain and colour cast was more noticeable the older the film was. I'd say that they were unusable for anything but snapshots and even then it was bad, unless of course you wanted that look. Of course you won't know the look until you develop it! But that's the fun of it.Note that I have no idea how this film was stored, could be left on top of a radiator for all I know!
