Hi All,

I'm a newbie at all this but I'm looking for Battleship Potemkin on 8mm. My projector, as far as I can tell, has no sound. I not only want it for myself but for the children. For. The. Children.

Seriously, I'm giving a lecture on the history of technology in entertainment and am going to screen part or all of this sucker. I fully expect them to go overthrow a government at the end of the film and record it in a montage.

Worst case they get the (gulp) DVD version. Don't let that happen!

(do I get banned for mentioning DVDs...?)

Jim, this title shows up on Ebay from time to time. Even our member just recently sold that here (full feature) for only few dollars. I believe it is Grant Fitzgerald who bought it since he showed off a new modified box for this very title [Wink]

Thanks guys. I'll follow the 8mm UK version on ebay and stay tuned to the forum in case anyone wants to sell their copy.
