Showing a film on a movie projector is actually work. Even though I'm set up most of the time there's still threading up, turning on the audio system, pulling down the screen, running the film, adjusting the framing, focus, volume, and tone (If not bass and treble) If there are multiple reels there are multiple projectors so the process get repeated again and again. Then there is the turning off and putting away.
(This is what makes it a hobby...)
DVD is easy: my kid could do it when he was three years old. It's just the thing to do when you are on your last legs after a long day.
Beyond that? Turn on the History Channel and don't even care what's on!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

That's the enjoyment for me Steve, doing something physical, focussing, framing, the sound of the machine, the rewinding at the end. The lubricating of the film, maybe adding some extra leader. Have you noticed nearly everything we buy now says 'No user serviceable parts' Some of my happiest days were coming home from work and finding a pile of yellow Kodachrome envelopes on the mat. I would run them through the projector, number the reels in sequence, then splice, lubricate, rewind on a large reel, then sit back and enjoy my holiday film.

I used to go sea angling too, but standing in the wind & rain for
hours on end soon loses its appeal. There's a certain "magic"
to setting up,selecting your films, then settling down for an hour or two, no adverts, no news, just YOUR choices.Seeing them as
they were meant to be seen, on a BIG screen in a dark room.
I can't understand, after having bought a film,why you wouldn't
want to screen it again and again,its like buying a favourite book
and being terrified of reading it,just looking at it on a shelf.
Thats what they're for, they "live" in that instant you put them
on show, enjoy them while you can.

hi!fellas ,here i am again,i do love super 8 as mutch you all do,maybe in different way,for start,i do have a screnn with 10ft
that,s the size where i do also screen my digital movies,it,s true in deed every comments,i do like to screen super 8 ,but there,s also who makes me feel happy it,s the fact i like to preserve the prints as mutch as possible,because after several years to me it,s great to got the film ingood condition,and keep
is content in well stade at least to my collecting films dose,t mean you have to runn them many times but to feel satisfaction
in pocess the piece,if i want to see film reptable,i runn dvd
i know it,s not the dame,but let,s face it the majory of digital
movies as best image and sound,i like super 8 as a perfect gauge
to get home cinema,i understand many fellas,who prefere to runn
a digest of 400ft instead the same title full lenght indigital
not me,that,s the razon a collect full lenghts...
i like to see the movie like the directed cocebid,between a digest in super 8 and a full lenght in dvd a prefere dvd(but this,s just me...
i do respect all the opinions,after all we love super 8
