Hey Ronnie!

Don't loose hope, Ken Films did a STAR WARS part 2 400ft, and that includes the last battle, not the full thing, but a very good edit of the last battle. I don't know if the digest you have is part 1 400ft or the 200ft digest, but there were a very few printings on low fade LPP of part 1 and while I haven't seen a low fade print of part 2, there are good Eastman color stock prints of this, and part 2, (with the last battle) was also released in scope!

My copy's a 200 foot color sound that I nabbed without the original box for $10 and shipping. Been keeping an eye out for the later version but prices are trending crazy as of late for any Star Wars on Super 8, heh. I will have sound before the week is out, though- found a Sankyo Sound 762 on eBay for $60 and shipping. The current owner had no film to test- so I should have some interesting news later as to if it's a golden egg or a rotten one, heh!

Watched my very rare print from 2007 on 35mm (The only one i know in circulation) Elvis That's the Way it is special edition over the Xmas period. Now wouldn't it be great to have this feature film on Super 8 let alone 16mm ?
Robert You could contact Phil Sheard and let him use your print to do just that...

Been out of commission for ages, but taking advantage of the holiday for a daily helping of Monsters.. First up was the 16mm feature....

Hi All,

Well it's New Year's Eve in South Wales and I've just watched Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper in Derann's 3x400ft of The Plank, then I watched my universal 8 copy of 1941 - now I'm watching a lovely copy of Derann's Hoppity Goes to Town and I'll finish with the full length feature of The Sea Wolves with a great all star cast.

Nice to read your post Dino.

Finally got our own Christmas shows underway somewhat late due to our flood waters and storms but nothing really stops the operation of the Eumigs!

 -

Part 1 of our show part two later today and particularly like Disneys The Small One.

Dino, did you know that the director of that version of Frankenstein came from Dudley, the home of Derann films?
I didn't until I visited the town museum where they had a display about his life.

Today we are all off from work and school, so we decided to enjoy a couple of films together tonight.

I showed my Derann 'scope "West Side Story" extract, and my son showed this newly aquired Castle R8 "Three Little Bruins Go Camping" on his Yelco dual 8 machine. (A 13 year old kid showing a 50+ year old film!)

This means I had to add his machine up and behind mine on the projector stand to allow for a long enough throw (back of the table is crowded this week!):

 -

I think maybe it's about time I went back to work: I'm running out of outlets for all these projectors!

--------------------
All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...

It was the last night of my son's visit. We made a bowl of popcorn and watched my 16mm print of Baby Boom (1987) .

Wouldn't it have been great if more prints like this had made it onto Super 8. Great film, great print by the looks of things Janice! [Smile]

A great fun film weekend!

Ran my super 8 feature of Death Kiss and switched to the Bloo-ray for the last few minutes to enjoy the tinted sequences.

Completed part 2 of the delayed Christmas show which included Santas Pocket Watch and The Wombles Games in the Snow.

Nice colour there Lee on that there Wombles print!
Who released these? Was it PM films?
Also do you know what stock yours is on as whenever I've seen any of these advertised for sale, they always seem to have a good degree of fade.

Otherwise, I'd have been interested just for a little 70's nostalgia.

Star Movie Packs (Robert Kingston) released a load of them with some very good quality in the 70's. Its worth having at least one Wombles film in the collection just from a nostalgia stand point.

Worth having a look here for more info.

The 4 Wombles prints I have are all on Agfa stock, thus the good colour.

Better still now knowing they can be found on Agfa! [Wink]

I take it that "Wombles" are a British thing?
