Hi the wife has given me some cash to buy my first full feature (How nice of her) and im hoping maybe someone has one on here.My budget is £45 including p&p i know its not much but better than nothing.Im looking for something with sound and dont mind if its somethig for the kids or one just for us.Guess UK would be better for shipping purposes but might get more bang for my buck as they say in states.Thanks in advance Will

No ned to apologize for syuper 8!

You stand a decent chance of finding on on an ebay auction for that price. Also, I know that Steve Osbournes "Reel Image" cataloguie will often have marked down features for not too much.

There was, (for instance) a feature print of the 70's thriller "Day of the Dolphin" (George C Scott), and it's in letterbox format for 40.00 dollars. The color is the slightest bit off, about 90 percent still remaining. I know because I sent that his way.

... and you should find others around that price, especially old Blackhawk features, like the Laurel and hardy's around that price as well!

Good hunting
