Its that time for me. I own several 16mm episodes of great shows, but no features.

I am looking for a good print of American Graffiti with English sound. Scope or flat preferred, but Id be very happy with anything. I would even pay international shipping if the price on the film was right.

My other 2 feature's I am looking for are John Carpenter's Halloween, or Friday the 13th Part 1 or 2. (Preferably 2, its my favorite I don't know why.) I would prefer the full feature of these, but I would be interested in a TV cut if those aren't available.

Please PM me should any of these become available.

Thank you everyone for keeping the hobby alive!

-Mike

Back in the 90s, I had scope prints of both American Graffiti and Halloween. Both in good condition and good color.
When I got out of the film hobby, I sold both of them...sooo, prints ARE out there.

Hi David,

Thanks for that info, I hadn't seen any information for Halloween, so its good to know prints are out there.

As for American Graffiti, I saw a print was sold on eBay last year. Looks like I was a little to late for that one. I have contacted someone that posted one for sale, but that was in 2008. As I have not had a return PM from him, I highly doubt its still available.
