Well hey, I can't argue with that logic, and I've had much worse explanations as to why I buy a film for 100.00 dollars when I can get it for 5.00 dollars on a DVD! [Smile]

Hi Osi, can you explain that you are looking for another version of "The fox and the hound" (not Perrys but Derann) - otherwise for you: the blu ray is perfect and much cheaper...
We all have our favorites! That's the crazzy thing on collecting...

The Perry's version of the "The Fox and The Hound" has some image issues, and some excessive scratches here and there. Otherwise, I'd be happy with it. Besides, NOW IU have a carving for the Derann print, as I know it has to be stellar!

... and "Grizzly"? Well, anyone who knows me, knows my undying passion for this film. Heck! I'd love to have a great color print of that one on 16MM AND 35MM. (I once had the trailer for it on 35MM, but it was a sadly faded Fuji purple mess!) [Smile]

But hey, we are one crazy lot of folks, aren't we, and I wouldn't have it any other way. LOCK ME UP, (as long as it's with my films!)

A carving???

I sure hope not Osi!!
It's a beautiful print and one of my favourites here from Derann.

If you desire a carving, may I suggest a nice slice of Beef.
Chateaubriand perhaps for yourself and your good lady.

It's far tastier and will cost you a whole lot less, as well as being far less destructive in the grand scheme of things here! [Wink]

Seriously though,

You may have to spend big though Osi, if you truly desire a very nice Derann print of "The Fox & The Hound".
Not too many around now in the condition you desire.
So when they do surface..expect to pay premium price for this one.

A craving! (must proof read more carefully)!

I shall search ...

I shall find ...

Grizzly awaits my search as well!

As the Duke said ...

"Well find em, I'll promise you that!"

There's a flat print of Poltergeist for sale at CHC. It's the first feature on the Super 8 page!

I got that print and it was actually the full feature flat, mounted on 4 x 600ft reels. Very good it is, too.

Hi Bruno, I bought that film off CHC's list. That's why it no longer appears. I was in fact 6 x 400ft respliced onto 4 x 600ft reels.
