Although I don’t like the „new“ Star Wars features I must say that the print really looks awesome. Do You have 2 soundstripes for Stereo sound? Really a great Super-8-jewel! Congratulations!

Alan, that Star Wars print quality looks great!

I watched a 1200ft Thunderbird films sampler made up of opening titles, excerpts, and custom made digests of a few films...all in scope!

Some of the movies in the pictures are evident. Let's see if you guys can guess what the other titles are.

Today was the Vernal Equinox, so just like I do every year I watched "Journey Into Spring" tonight.

Journey Into Spring

I think I may be getting a little ahead of myself here...

-there's a huge snowstorm forecast tomorrow!

Recently, I showed a trailer reel, two cartoons(A Becall To Arms and Little Bosco In Bagdad) and the feature Destination Inner Space. My girlfriend has a fondness for that film.

We watched our newest "aquisition", the 1958 comedy/musical "The Girl Most Likely" a Mountain films print, and this feature was printed on the good fuji film stock (not the earlier than 79, which tends to turn purple. Absolutely glorious color!

Thank you Jason, nice collection of scope films, all with great color.

Andreas, I just watched the trailer online, what a wild film and rare. Amazing what you can find on S8.

I forgot to write, i bought the irst 25 minutes of "Revenge of the Sith' (couldn't afford the rest), but that first 25 minutes is excellent, (ending with them crash-landing on the planet) and yes, the print quality is fantastic and I have lance Alspaugh record my reel in stereo. A fun watch. my only complaint is that it was printed on that slightly yellowish acetate film stock. Would have looked even more awesome on the Kodak Vision stock. [Smile]

My 8 year old and I sat down and watched The Boys in Beau Hunks - a nice old Blackhawk print. First time of running the T610 through my hi-fi, sounded really good. Also watched a recent purchase of a Foghorn Leghorn WB toon which is sadly more faded than I anticipated. Anyway, we both laughed ourselves silly at Laurel and Hardy. I love watching an 80 year old film on a 35 year old projector with an 8 year old kid!

Stuart, today's kids, (especially teenagers upward) seem to be loving "retro stuff" as they call it, i think our films and projectors could possibly become more popular before too long.
Theres an apprentice in my work who bought a Sony walkman, he now looks out for cassette tapes all the time. he plonks it on his desk and has the music on through a modern speaker, all be it very low, but he made me chuckle the other day when he was watching it as it was playing. i said "is something wrong"? he replied, "no, i just love watching the cassette going round". [Big Grin]

Those Laurel and Hardy comedies are so timeless, how could anyone not laugh at them no matter what age? [Wink]

Graham, the Wallace & Gromit prints images look GREAT!

I've always been a big fan of these movies: my favorites are the landing on the moon, and the Curse of the Were Rabbit!

I'd bet these are even more enjoyable to watch via a Super 8 film.

Cracking print Grommit!

Stuart, you inspired us, so we watched "Saps At Sea" which is a surprisingly sharp print, (compared to many Blackhawk features of the Lads).
