Got out one of the best ever edited 2 x600ft films on 8mm, The Wild Geese, this is one of the films we purchased years and years ago in a corner shop in Plymouth which was closing down and the shelves were full of ex hire films for next to nothing, Being ex hire prints we expected some scratching here and there but this title along with where eagle dare were both £15 each. So far the colour has held up quite well, there are so many big names in this movies but im sure you know the plot, here is a little bit of info ive borrowed that may or may not interest some of you,
The Wild Geese is a British 1978 adventure film directed by Andrew V. McLaglen about a group of mercenaries in Africa. It stars Richard Burton, Roger Moore, Richard Harris and Hardy Krüger. The film was the result of a long-held ambition of its producer Euan Lloyd to make an all-star adventure film similar to The Guns of Navarone or Where Eagles Dare. The film was based on an unpublished novel titled The Thin White Line by Daniel Carney. The film was named The Wild Geese after a 17th-century Irish mercenary army (see Flight of the Wild Geese). Carney's novel was subsequently published by Corgi Books under the same title as the film. The novel was based upon rumours and speculation following the 1968 landing of a mysterious aeroplane in Rhodesia, which was said to have been loaded with mercenaries and "an African President" believed to have been a dying Moise Tshombe.

With all due respect to your enthusiasm for "TIME MACHINE" but I found you have posted again and again the same film in this thread.
Please open this link:
What Films did you show last night?
(beware this will open the whole posts of this thread in one page. It will take time)
CTRL+ F for "Time Machine", we will see that you have posted this 5 times:

I don't mind you screened this title as many as you want, but the problem is you posted the same screen shot on the above 5 posts i.e:
What is the point for us to see the same angle of your screen shots 5 times?
More over if you want to show it again and again, just copy the previous image code rather than making a new image code.
For the above 5 posts you have 4 image codes, i.e:
http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/showpic.cgi?dir=uploads0503&file=TIMEMA CHINESuper8Pics1.jpg http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/showpic.cgi?dir=uploads0503&file=TIMEMA CHINESuper8Pics5.jpg http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/showpic.cgi?dir=uploads0503&file=TIMEMA CHINESuper8Pics6.jpg http://8mmforum.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/showpic.cgi?dir=uploads0503&file=TIMEMA CHINESuper8Pics7.jpg
This means you gave more burden to this server (hence more money spent by Brad Miller the owner of this forum) for the same matter.
(ps: the same case also I found for your "Logans Run")
I humbly advise you to take another angle of screen shots rather than recycling the same file.
My 2 cents though,

Vidar, Great films again. "The Dirty Dozen" good screen shots another of my favourites, with a great cast and loads of action. I have the 400ft original version and the feature too, although it was edited by about 20 minutes.
How good is the edit on the 1200ft version?
"Popeye Meets Ali Baba's" looks good too. My son was watching this on youtube. I don't know what they have done to them, but the colours look totally wrong. I have the other two, Aladdin and Sinbad the Sailor. This is the one I'm missing.
Chris, More nice films I have "Murder on the Orient Express" from Marketing Films and "Death on the Nile" in Osi's favourite format super 8 optical. On the big screen Peter Ustinov is Hercule Poirot, but on TV David Suchet is the one.
I would like "Evil Under the Sun" too, although some were set in the wrong time period.
What great casts these films had.
Back Vidar, Herbie The Love Bug one of the first Disney's I bought, the theme music sticks in my mind everytime I see a photo of this one. From the days when I liked Disney's live action films.
Love the old black & white ones too on real black & white film. You can just NOT see the Invisible Man's cigarette.
-------------------- I love the smell of film in the morning.
