Close race between "Ice Age" and "Bonnie Scotland", but I'll have to give "Ice Age" the edge.

The one print that I was most excited to get on super 8 was the classic Western Shane .

Predator would be my choice. It is stunning; my favorite one to show to people who ask why I would pay so much to buy a feature on Super 8.

Apart from it being a very gripping film, one of the main reasons for buying Predator is the absoulate stunning Derann print, said to be the best 'flat' release from Derann. As soon as I bought it I applied Cresclean to it (didnt have filmguard at the time) and watched a reel each night and noted down on the box how good it was. Later I then put it on 2 elmo 1200ft reels. There is a review of this very film in the revalent section.

I certaintly wouldnt have bought it if it was a poor print like the little mermaid. Theres no point in spending a lot for a poor super 8 release.

"Hoppity Goes to Town", twice at the sme time! Steve Osbourbe offered me both an LPP Derann print and an AGFA Red Fox Films Print, both with excellent color and from different film labs with two very different results!

My economics aren't too favorable to buying brand new features, so a couple of Christmasses back when I'd found out my wife bought me a new print of "Toy Story" it was a great moment!

It's something I'd wanted to get for years and I always imagined I'd find a mint print used someday, never new.

It had an unexpected side-effect too. When the package showed up I found out I'd accidentally been sent a brand new print of "Hunchback of Notre Dame". Other than the dissapointment, It was kind of like a latter day rental!

I sent that print back to Derann and watched the used lists for months: never saw it. I'm not sure if I got somebody else's film, or they just printed the wrong film to my order.

In Super 8...I was most excited to get Alien in scope and stereo. That was just a couple of years ago. But the MOST ever excited was in my early 16mm collecting days in the early 70's..when I finally got a wonderful 16 print of King Kong, my favorite film since I was a child.

ZORRO'S FIGHTING LEGION,because it thrilled me to no end when I first saw it as a young boy, and it still does,just the same! GONE WITH THE WIND and 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY (in scope). Two big (and most expensive) classics I adore and managed to get at most competitive prices!

Night of the Living Dead. I bought it in 1978 when it was first available. Before that I only heard about it from friends who saw it in the drive-in. By the time I got my print it was already a cult classic. Pretty cool that the first time I ever saw this film was my super 8 feature [Smile]

RETURN OF THE JEDI. My favorite Star Wars movie. The S8 print is an absolute joy with fantastic color and a nice , sharp picture.

Money VERY well spent!

I'll have to agree with Patrick, tho my Raise the Titanic is 4:3 with optical sound but the print has glorious colour and contrast with very good sound.
