Once again we'll be screening a film the night before the CineSea Film Collectors gathering. This screening will take place at 7:30 PM on Friday, April 28th at the Ocean Holiday Resort in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey. Admission is free.
Let's pick the film! If you're coming to the convention and have a print you'd like to show, please list the title and format (Super 8mm or 16mm) here by 4/14. We'll then have an online survey and attendees can pick which title they prefer by 4/22.
Previous screenings have included Super 8 prints of The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein and 16mm prints of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope and Aliens.
My two offerings are Derann's Shane 1953 (Super 8mm, color, flat) and the Marketing print of Airplane! 1980 (Super 8mm, color, flat).
I'm looking forward to seeing the other choices!
CineSea 15 details can be found here.

The African Queen, 1951 (Super 8mm, color, flat, Viacom)
Bogey coming aboard with slugs all over him should reduce the snacking!

I'm throwing in a Super 8 print of THE THING (1951) - Choice quality (what else?) - Shorty

I have a Gorgeous IB Technicolor Scope Elvis ROUSTABOUT with Barbara Stanwyck...I personally think its his best film---and gorgeous stunning colors and a terrific soundtrack full of bass!
Posted by Nicole Tucky (Member # 5587) on March 23, 2017, 05:25 PM:
Ooooo... It's gonna be tough to decide!
Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on March 24, 2017, 03:16 PM:
Personally, my vote is for...oops, almost gave myself away - Shorty
Posted by David C. Lucidi (Member # 4020) on March 27, 2017, 04:18 PM:
Per request of Doug, I'll suggest from my collection for the Friday night movie:
Beetlejuice ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
Posted by Nicole Tucky (Member # 5587) on March 27, 2017, 04:26 PM:
Oooo! Beetlejuice is one of my favorites and I've never seen it on the big screen before!!! Not only that, but it does have two musical numbers in it.
Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on March 28, 2017, 09:59 AM:
I'd like seeing GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINDBAD, TOWERING INFERNO, even JASON & THE ARGONAUTS
Posted by Geoffrey Curtis (Member # 5599) on March 29, 2017, 03:16 PM:
I have an LPP scope print of "The Goonies" I'll bring...and vote for.
Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on March 29, 2017, 03:33 PM:
How nice to see the one and only Geoff Curtis on the 8mm Forum!
(Because of this guy my teenaged son can splice 16mm!)
Welcome!
Posted by Geoffrey Curtis (Member # 5599) on March 29, 2017, 07:04 PM:
Thank you Steve! Glad to be here.

We now have 7 titles. Just a few days left to throw your film in the hat (it's a pretty big hat).

I'd like to nominate my 16mm prints of Forbidden Planet and Fright Night. Both are beautiful LPP, flat prints. It's gonna be a tough choice choosing the Friday Night feature as we have some great films to choose from. Can't wait to see everybody in a few weeks. I will be bringing a ton of Super 8 this show to sell, so I know Shorty will be extremely happy! Lots of sealed stuff as well.
Posted by Michael Lattavo (Member # 4280) on April 09, 2017, 08:59 PM:
Argggggg, too many great choices!
Posted by Evan Samaras (Member # 5070) on April 10, 2017, 09:30 AM:
This is going to be a tough choice!
Posted by Guy Taylor, Jr. (Member # 786) on April 10, 2017, 11:13 AM:
Too many good choices. Y'all need to have an, all night, triple feature.
Posted by Nicole Tucky (Member # 5587) on April 10, 2017, 11:14 AM:
I'm totally down with that!

How about both Gary!
Posted by Gary Sloan (Member # 4482) on April 10, 2017, 05:30 PM:
I agree Andrew!!!
Posted by Nicole Tucky (Member # 5587) on April 10, 2017, 05:32 PM:
If we could do both Indiana Jones and Beetlejuice, I'm on board! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on April 13, 2017, 05:20 PM:
Could we take ten minutes culled from each and show a compilation?
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on April 14, 2017, 11:00 AM:
Last chance to nominate a film! I will soon send out the online survey to attendees.

I may be biased, but I loved the Boathouse that we ate at last year (they are only open in the Spring).
Also - BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE, BEETLEJUICE! 😉

After reading the above comments I just pictured a mash up like this:
Gov't official: We have TOP MEN working on it RIGHT NOW.
Indy: WHO?
(End Raiders, splice in Beetlejuice)
Beetlejuice: "Ah. Well... I attended Juilliard... I'm a graduate of the Harvard business school. I travel quite extensively. I lived through the Black Plague and had a pretty good time during that. I've seen the EXORCIST ABOUT A HUNDRED AND SIXTY-SEVEN TIMES, AND IT KEEPS GETTING FUNNIER EVERY SINGLE TIME I SEE IT... NOT TO MENTION THE FACT THAT YOU'RE TALKING TO A DEAD GUY... NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK? You think I'm qualified?
(end Beetlejuice, splice in Airplane!)
Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious?
Doctor Rumack: I am serious, and don't call me Shirley
![[Razz]](tongue.gif)
(PS: A Raiders/Beetlejuice double feature would have be insanely awesome!)
Posted by Joe Caruso (Member # 11) on April 17, 2017, 10:54 AM:
But please call me Shorty

Take a look, our overseas chaps, come visit us and share the fun - Cheers, Shorty
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on April 22, 2017, 10:18 PM:
What will we be watching on Friday, April 28th?
Beetlejuice!
David Lucidi's 16mm print of Tim Burton's film was the top vote getter. Thanks to all who took part.

Just wondering during these shows are people ok putting their prized films in someone elses projector? Arnt you worried about damage? Or scratches
Sign a waver stating if any damage is done to the film the owner of the projector will not be held liable.
Posted by Steve Klare (Member # 12) on April 23, 2017, 08:24 PM:
I would trust Doug (and his GS Xenon) with my life!
You make a good point though, with somebody I don't know as well it would feel like leaving a Corvette with valet parking!
It's part of why I don't like getting new machines: takes a while 'til I feel I can trust 'em!
Posted by David C. Lucidi (Member # 4020) on April 23, 2017, 08:42 PM:
I can bring my own dual projectors (for changeover) if needed, but if the person who offers their 'host projector(s)' for the event was someone well known at the show, I'd trust them.
This is an event about getting fellow collectors together, and I am pretty certain Doug wouldn't just let "Johnny first time" use their projector(s) for the Friday night event for someone ELSE'S print. I believe (going by previous posts/pictures) last October's Cinesea had Gary Sloan using his Marc 300 projector for the main picture (Aliens), a print that wasn't even his. I don't know Gary personally (aside from posts on the forum and an Ebay transaction) but based on reading his posts over the years on various forums he obviously 'knows his stuff'. That's good enough for a long time collector like me to trust him/his equipment without hesitation, even with one of my own prints.
Or to put it another way, if other fellow collectors trust him (or the person hosting their projectors), that's good enough for me as well ![[Wink]](wink.gif)
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on April 23, 2017, 08:59 PM:
Brian,
Excellent point! Since the first CineSea, Gary Sloan has handled the 16mm projection (with Geoffrey Curtis and Joe Griesbach lending a hand and a projector on occasion) and I've handled the Super 8mm end. Since this is a gathering of film collectors, we are all very serious about taking care of the prints. You can see by the number of prints submitted each time that there is a huge amount of trust. Friday nights are but a single feature....the Saturday evening screenings have always been about whatever our attendees want to show their friends and fellow film enthusiasts, as long as the running time is under 20 minutes. This can add up to over 30 precious prints in our hands!
We also hope that the owners have cleaned their prints before handing them over. If not, I try to quickly clean each film before screening it...if not I have Roy Neil's Film-O-Clean mounted on my GS to smooth the way.
Another way to look at it is that once you've come to your first CineSea, you are now among friends. We hang out together, have group breakfasts & dinners, and talk about film for hours. You quickly get to the point where you want to bring something to share with this great group.
Doug

Very well said Doug. As I said, this would be my first Cinesea but just seeing last year's post/pictures/video, that was enough to cause me to allow Gary (or anyone else) to handle my print without hesitation. I had no idea he's been doing it since the start!?!?!?! That's really cool, and generous of him as well!
And not to worry, my print of Beetlejuice is in the dishwasher as I type this....and I even added JetDry to ensure a spot-free finish. Should be 'like new' when the cycle is done.
(Kidding aside, it is clean already....I'm borderline OCD when it comes to making sure my prints are clean
Posted by Douglas Meltzer (Member # 28) on April 23, 2017, 09:11 PM:
I'm waiting for someone to say "Oh, right...I forgot I stapled those sections together as a quick fix years ago...."

This is why I don't run the projectors! ;-)
