Nice screenshots of Trick or Treat, Vidar. I put that on at Halloween.
I watched a 200ft Derann, "Look at Life: The Sinking City"
followed by "The Silver Linings Playbook" on Blu-ray.

Yes, Trick or Treat is keeping the colors nicely :-)

Laksmi, I just did what you told me ... :-) Added the pictures underneath the original in one high picture. Problem was it needed to be more compressed as most of them were getting about 250-300Kb and 200 was the limit. Just ran them through a different paint program and increased the compression (small loss of quality sadly) to fit under 200Kb

On 16MM the winner of best picture 1946: The Best Years of Our Lives. It won no less than NINE oscar's, and was worth every one of them.
Great cast, great direction by William Wyler and a film that has aged really well.

Lars ...

That is one of the truly beautiful classics I have ever seen, one scene always brings me to tears, when the fellow who's lost his forearms and hands in the war, gets "tucked in" by the girl who loves him, but he's afraid that she'll think he's only half a man.

It's one of the most tender moments ever put on screen, very realistic and incredibly moving. This was one of the first film to show what we call "battle fatigue" (so to speak) when the other fellow has flashbacks to a plane crash.

Your a lucky man to own a print of this film, and thanX 4 the screenshot!

Lars- one of the best films of all time. thanks for posting this. Kathy O'Donnell who plays the young woman marrying the wounded soldier is wonderful in this film as are the other great performances directed by Wyler. O'Donnell made a film that is my only feature I own in 16mm, Nicholas Ray's "They Live By Night" where she plays a very sensitive leading role. Unfortunately this great performer died very young.

Nice screenshots everyone. Loved them all. [Smile]

It was a night for the Horror of Dracula. We'd recently watched F. W. Murnau's 'Nosferatu' so the story was fresh in our heads. Sometimes slight deviations from the familiar are good news, so we were happy to see a few "liberties" being taken. Where Murnau gave us a Count we felt sorry for, here Hammer creates an evil Count. Where Orlock dominates screen-time, here Dracula plays second-fiddle to Dr. Van Helsing. Several beautiful women appear in brief but pivotal roles, so the various female characters actually move the story forward. And, the 82-minutes run-time keeps the movie rolling along. What fun!

Nice that Akshay.

At present I'm enjoying some George Pal puppetoons including 'Jasper and the Watermelon' which was the last new print on sale at good old Classic Home Cinema. My latest mission seems to be hunting down George Pal material.

Akshay,Vidar win the price for the most screen shots! Nice screenshots everyone. Last night I watched my Harryhausen classic EARTH VS THE FLYING SAUCERS 400foot super8mm digest. A very good digest I might add.

Vidar, that clip you have, fits nicely onto the longer 400' version
of the Franky meets Wolfman episode. Probably why the confusion
as to why the public confused the monster with the scientist in name.

I've always liked that short "The Small One", (which was released by Derann on low fade stock as the full short, I have it!)

What I have always loved aboput this featurette (apart from the cute subject matter) is that this is really the blending of two animation stdios, so to speak. Some characters, (such as the people bartering in the market-place) are clearly disney-esque characters. However, the father, as well as other characters, are clearly "Don Bluth-esque" characters, as is clearly evident when you compare this featurette to other human character in Bluth productions. This was the last work Don Bluth did for the Walt Disney studio (he directed it). he was fed up with what was happening to Disney animation, "They were just taking the same characters and revamping them a little and doing new features" (actually, that was fairly true if you look at most of the Disney features of the 70's) and so Bluth as well a number of other Disney artists left and formed Don Bluth animation.

Thank you for the screenshots as always, Vidar!

Vidar, your print of "Trick or Threat" has excellent color. However as far as I know, Walt Disney Home Movies only released in silent version. Is this the case on your print?

If it is not, then it is best possible your print is Derann version with sound.

I have "Solid Serenade" and mine is not dark.

Mine is sound of Trick or Treat ... Swedish label on the box. Can't see Derann anywhere, but how do I know? Anything I can look for?

Looks like a normal Disney box to me : http://pokeysoft.no/movies/8MM/details/146024.html

Thanks, I'll need another Solid Serenade then :-)

Laksmi-your trailer of Metropolis looks much better than the print I've pictured. Is it Super 8? I bought Metropolis from a forum member not too long ago, not on Ebay. Its not a great print but the film plays well because of it's remarkable artistry no matter the format or scratches in the print.

Richard METROPOLIS is a 16mm trailer with no scratches. Hey Vidar your animation screen shots got me into watching tonight my Superman cartoons. This is a super 8mm 200 foot JUNGLE DRUMS

Tonight we watched Yankee Doodle Dandy. Although I bought this nearly a year ago, this was our first screening, and the first time we watched it. Good, sharp print from Red Fox. Sound not so great though.

Hi Akshay, Derann redid the Red Fox titles, resulting in far better
sound recording.

Hugh, there is no Derann now. My hopes lie with Lance Alspaugh. Or, I have to learn how remix the sound.
