I presume these are all 400' reels?

Hi Scott, just to keep you on the right path and eliminate any
confusion.A reel of film is usually at best 10 minutes or under running time, a 2 reel is usually 16 mins plus and on 400' spools.
Therefore an 8 reel feature is supplied on 4x400' spools and not
reels, I don't mean to sound "smart arse",but it's very easy to get
confused by reels & spools. Your films like "Carrie is actually 4 reels
on 2x400' spools " Justine" 2 reels on 1x400' etc.

Ahhh ok thanks that makes sense, I'm still learning [Smile]

It might be easier to let them speak for themselves, I will try and upload them to image shack to paint a better picture.
