#1 titles being E.T., Star Wars, Alien ... Big box office hits, but yes, I do like the Body Double myself, I love De Palma.
He's room was just awesome, didn't bring a camera, forgot it, as I had to bring my Elmo projectors, film I borrowed, PC for another friend and so on. Just forgot camera.
His cinema room was absolutely perfect, a mini theatre, with the exact feel of my old cinema in Sarpsborg. Nice machine room with a huge Bauer (don't know the model)
We saw some trailers, a few norwegian shorts and talked.
He fixed one of my Elmos :-)
I am giving Body Double to my son, as that's the only double I have and getting him into 16mm without a film is quite boring, but thanks for the offer.
I did get Winterhawk (bit red) with Woody Strode, Boss Nigger with Fred Williamson, Texas, Adios with Franco Nero, Tarzan and the Slavegirl and Tarzan's Peril with Lex Barker. Were about 30 each ... A couple worn ones and the rest is supposed to be decent quality. Will see through them soon
Also got a plastic bag with Super 8 films for about 50, including 4 Tom & Jerry

I had no idea Alexander the Great was from India. To be fair, the greatest stories in the world, forget George Lucas and bloody Star Wars, come from the Greek Myths and the Arabian Nights, after all,the stars all have Arabic names. Astronomy is down to them..India is a fine Country,and we in Britain have very close ties to it, and they do have a wonderful culture. Vidar, "Adios Texas" isn't a bad revenge western with Franco Nero, and very nice print by the look of your screen grabs. Also Akshay is not your long lost son, whatever he says, but I sympathise with him.It could be anyone of us!

Akshay, I have played as I said with sportsmen, and they are all bad losers.I'm sure the cricketers from India are better losers than the gang I played with, Although it does make a pleasant change at Britain winning in sports, that "stiff upper lip" is starting to make the kids look like Barney Rubble, it's been so long. As a sort of P.S. it's like Monte Python's take on "What did the Romans do for us", Laksmi, the British Empire, changed this world for the better, including India, where Polo was payed with human heads!
