Janice inspired me! I decided to pull out my optical super 8 feature of "The Survivalists" (Walter Matthau, Robin Williams, Jerry Reed), a nice little black comedy.

Silver Dream Racer Scope Walton.
Enjoyed watching that 1980 movie again up on the wide screen. Walton did a good job with that 400ft as well. Its another of those little gems where the distributors changed the ending after release for dvd which meant we had two versions on offer.

Ended the show with The Snowman.....as you do.

I actually thought that digest was better than the full film. If the screen is projected big enuf, you really feel like you're right there at ground level with those speeding machines!

I agree Osi the Walton edit is a much better watch and keeps your attention. [Cool]

Hi all,

Yesterday I screened - Basil Rathbone and Nigel Bruce in Spider Woman - a great Universal Sherlock Holmes mystery with the wonderful Gale Sondergard - Mrs Danvers from "Rebecca" providing an excellent villainess.

Last night I watched the second reel of a two night showing of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in "Shall We Dance".

-this from the Crawford Collection last Spring at CineSea. If nothing else it got me moving fixing my ST-1200HD because those 1200 foot reels meant I couldn't watch it until I did!

Lately I'm starting to enjoy these golden-age black and white musicals quite a lot. I wouldn't have been caught dead as a teenager, but I guess I've grown up a little!

-a lot of talented people made movies like this one and it shows.

My sister stayed with me the last couple of nights. Each night we went out to dinner then came back to watch a film. Wednesday night was "The Goodbye Girl" and last night "Baby Boom." Two movies we never get tired of seeing [Smile]

Hi all,

Last night I screened my 6x400ft now on 2x1200ft print of The Dirty Dozen - print colour a little variable - some fade but pin sharp with excellent sound - and even with some colour fade - an extremely watchable film. Then I screened my marketing full length flat print of Grease and although I hadn't seen this print for several years the colour and sound was still excellent.

Feel free to pass on to me "Grease" anytime you like David! [Big Grin]

[Big Grin]

I have the 3x 400ft version, but would love to find a full print one day if the colour was still reasonable.

Some are, some arn't I believe.

Disney's On Ice followed by Mickeys Christmas Carol which looks so beautiful on Super 8 and demonstrates just how good 8 can be.

I completely agree Lee. Christmas Carol is as good a print as any I've ever seen. I use it and Madagascar as a benchmark to guage all others against.

The first of what I bought at Blackpool)- High Society extract 2. It is fading but still quite good quality in darker scenes. The "Did you Ever" number in particular, good value at £3 from the Bring and Buy.

Added a few clips to my Christmas opening reel which has grown over the years. Derann colour fanfare, P&D adverts, Star greetings, Future programme Scrooge 1951,Christmas singalong, Santa wishes audience good wishes and Ice cream time etc.
The Snowman 600ft. Enjoyable to run a few Christmas titles and only a month to go! [Cool]

I just got back one of my Elmo 16CL projectors after having it serviced by Larry Urbanski. The same day I received a new film I just purchased Lassiter (1984) ... so the timing was perfect. The projector ran better than ever and the sound is now spot-on [Smile]

[Smile]

The film had some emulsion scratches that the seller hadn't mentioned...but all-in-all a decent print.

Lassiter stars Tom Selleck, Bob Hoskins, a very young Jane Seymour, and Lauren Hutton. This film got better than average reviews and Tom Selleck looks good in every scene...but then to me he always looks good [Smile]

[Smile]

Although originally rated R... this edited PG version was bold enough for me.

SCROOGE 1951 Feature
I still prefer the MGM version which is shall we say happier but Mr Sim gave a wonderful performance in this Renown version like spotting the filming locations in it.

Pluto's Christmas Tree 1952
Always popular at this time of year.

HOUNDS OF ZAROFF (A Most Dangerous Game) 1932
So enjoy projecting the good old bargain basement Collectors Clubs prints which were made available in the 70's at pocket money prices. Decades later its the first time I have ever projected this print on a Elmo Xenon GS1200, first time for everything and all that.
Interesting release this one from CC, a film which used KING KONGS film sets notably and has Fay Wray in full voice.
Bit of a classic Super 8 release!

Followed by SON OF KONG on Blooo Ray
Robert Armstrong always looks good on screen as does baby Kong.

So much fun with Super 8..

Janice! That's a lovely print! I've always had a soft spot for Tom Selleck, one of the actors that I always liken to the actors of old!

I used to have a super 8 optical sound print of "High Road to China", when I used to collect super 8 back in the late 80's, and I have never seen another print of that Super 8 optical title since I got back into collecting in 2002. PHOOEY!!!

We just finished watching (last night) our super 8 optical sound print of "Stand and Deliver", a very good drama!

Osi...Stand and Deliver is such an inspiring movie [Smile]

[Smile]

Both my sons loved that movie growing up. Especially my oldest son who taught himself calculus over one summer in high school and is now a math professor [Smile]
