I usually create "themed" reels (Star Wars, Bond, Pixar, animation, comic books, etc.) When screening them, I try to remain below the 12/15 minutes mark as it tends to get boring. I do the same with 16 or 35. It's easier on 35 as film isn't as delicate. For features, I try to get the trailer for said film, plus a couple of others and a few commercials. Splicing them before the show and spooling them back after is, in my humble opinion, part of the fun of being the average sunday projectionnist.

I sometimes make up a compilation of trailers, shorts, toons, etc.. for a particular show. But on a regular basis, I compile trailers onto 200 or 400 foot reels, by genre or time period.
Example:
Sci-Fi trailers volume #1 1950's. 400 foot.
or
Woody Allen trailers. 400 foot.
Etc.,.....
I do this because I may be in the mood for a particular type of trailers at a particular time. Or, if I know what my particular audience likes, it works out.
James.
