Night before Christmas Colourful Derann print which is a classic

Good old Popeye in Mister and Mistletoe

Ah another Christmas film presentation including..

A TV episode from 1955 and certainly the best of the series 'Sherlock Holmes and the Christmas Pudding'

Also 'Mickeys Christmas Carol'
The 1983 gem gets plenty of screenings here and pretty amazing this animated film nearly paid for itself over one weekends screenings back then.

Been sick with the flu for some days now, but finally got my butt up and put on a couple of Super 8 films.

Got a nice color Walton print on 4x400' called Percy's Progress ... Not the best film, but a few faces known to most

The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold, 3x400'

This is very stripey, but colors are fine. Also dutch subtitles

Tonight, I watched Jeux interdits, a French classical sad film from 1952 with two children during WWII. Two days ago, I watched Gulliver's Travel, the well known cartoon.

Nice to see that "Small One" print! I have it as well. Though officially a Disney release, this was directed by Don Bluth (of An American Tale, land before Time fame, ect), and you can clearly see Bluth's style of animation throughout.

It's actually quite an inter-mingling of the two styles. Some characters are definitely Disney-esque", while others bear the "Bluth stamp"

Merry Christmas Lee,

Where did you find "Der Schneeman" (Hans Fischerkoesen?). I'd love to have a print of that.

We watched "The Small One" Christmas Eve.

We have a Christmas Week tradition of watching "When the North Wind Blows" (full feature). We will do that tonight. My wife bought me a small audio mixer so (among other things) I can connect two projectors into my sound system. Today I'm going to connect in the second projector and hopefully we'll run "North Wind" with it tonight.

Spent the Christmas holiday out in the desert at Joshua Tree in a fun little trailer park called Hicksville. Now that I am back its time for films again. Tonight I watched a well worn super 8 print of GREASE (4 x 400ft Marketing films) and was wondering if anyone knew what was cut out of the marketing version since it has all of the songs?

Marketing released this film full length, and just about every other version, 1 x 200, 1 x 400, 3 x 400 However,
There is at least one print circling on the lists which is advertised as full feature on 2 x 800ft. I purchased this from a dealer a few ago and was dissapointed as it was nowhere near the full feature, its got nothing to do with the fact the film is polyester and will fit onto two 800's, the full film wont even if it is polyester.
We viewed it and although quality was very good it had a complete 400ft reel missing and i returned it as incomplete which it was. There was never, (as far as i am aware) a 4x400ft version released.
In the end and thanks to an e-mail from a forum friend i purchased the full scope feature (& it had been re-recorded into stereo) from Steve @ the Reel Image. It was even supplied on two full 1200 foot spools.

But what is missing? I can't seem to see anything I miss from the 2x800? What scene is not there, so I can check it?

The only thing i can remember was the whole sequence in the cafe leading up to (and including) the song beauty school drop out was completley missing, so whichever reel this is on on the full marketing feature is the missing reel. It was a good 20 minuite jump in the film so back it went.

I have the song Beauty School Dropout on my 2x800' ... The scene in the cafe, is that where Olivia Newton-John is there with that sportsjock and Travolta is making quite a fool of himself trying to hide from his friends? It's all there in my print

Here's the Marketing Films page for 'Grease'

I forget how many reels my Marketing Films was mounted on, It was either four or five but not 100% sure.

It should fit onto 2 x 800ft In fact sure this is how I had mine before I could use large reels.

How can a Braveheart scene be in it since Braveheart was released in 1995?

I'm sorry, I misunderstood. I have never scene this film and I assumed you might like TVs playing in the background. I always enjoy spotting those.

I have not been watching that much super 8 lately due to a problem with my GS1200. But now it's fixed, so I'm going to see a lot more in the near future.
The first thing I saw was Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines. This was the first wieving of this film since I put it on 1600 Supaspools.

In one of the pictures you can see one of the films famous goofs, can you spot it?
