Hello Patrick, from the other side of the globe, and welcome to the forum.
Scope super 8 prints (abridged and full feature) of Raise the Titanic do pop-up from time to time on used lists that are being posted here. So, keep your eyes peeled.

Hi Patrick, and again a warm welcome to the forum. As well as seeing this on super 8 I have also seen it on 16mm. Indeed I had a copy myself on 16mm which was on low fade Agfa but I sold it on eventually.

Keep an eye on the dealers lists here in the UK. Perry's, Derann, Paul Foster Films and also Classic Home Cinema are the lists to watch. Those lists do get posted here on the forum except Classic's but you can check his list at www.classichomecinema.co.uk although he tends not to keep his web site up to date so a call may be worthwhile.

Best of luck for your search, Kev.

Hello everyone and thanks for the replys, I would be keen to get the feature only at this point in any gauge but not in scope on super 8 as my super 8 projector does not have the scope lens but I have lenses for 16mm and 35mm. A 400ft or 600ft digest version in flat would be great, I have about 5 or 6 super 8 digest films that I would like to trade.
email me off site at raise_the_titanic_film@hotmail if anyone is keen.
A bit about my gear, I have the following in projectors
2x 35mm Westar projectors with Peerless arcs, 1x B&H Filmoarc 16mm with a converted lmaphouse using a 400w 36v halogen lamp.
1x B&H 631 projector(The most reliable machine I have ever used!)
1x BTH, and about 3 EIKIs that are in various states of "goingness", for super8 I have a Hanimex with 600ft reel capacity, and some B&H showmasters.
Thankyou
Patrick

Hi Andrew
Yes I have Raise on DVD in both the flat with pan/scan and the 16:9 version, both are available down here in the bargin bin for $10 each(about 3 pounds) but they have no dvd extras.
I would like to get it on film as I think it would look great on the "big" screen, and being a collector and fan of the film, I would like it on film just to say I have it on film if you know what I mean.
