Well, after a long day of running and talking films, one builds up a good hunger, and Simone had gotten us reservations at Alfe's restaurant. This turned out to be a great place, with comfortable group seating and excellent food. A good time was had by one and all:



Then it was back to mixed screenings, including some beautiful 16mm Tech cartoons:

...and more chapters of an on-going serial we're running, "The Crimson Ghost":

Then as a show-stopper, Gary Crawford appeared in performance as Groucho! (there is video of this; I have not seen it yet.)

A great ending to a great CineSea. Personally, I had a blast; with everything going on when we gather, it feels more like a mini-vacation with good friends than a week-end trip.

Thank you for the nice comments along the way; as long as you enjoy watching this, I enjoy doing it :-)
See you on the forum and in the Spring in Wildwood! Claus.

Claus,
Thank you so much for all your hard work. A great job as usual. I'll just add a few details.
 Some of the films at my table. I'm using the Blackhawk display case that Shorty Caruso kindly made for the occasion.
The fun of the Saturday night screening is to see a diverse group of films that no programmer would ever think might fit together! People bring cherished/rare/wacky prints from their collections to show at CineSea because they know other film lovers will get a kick out of them.
 Joe & Gary performing the perfect changeover during the Aliens showing.
Here's a list of the Super 8mm prints shown at Saturday's show. I'll list what I recall of the 16mm films at the end. Derann movie theater opener, Disney's Diamond Jubilee, That's Dancing teaser trailer, trailers for The Crazy World of Laurel & Hardy & Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy. That led into the Universal 8 full length release of Who's On First.

 Derann's Hammer's House of Horror #2
Steve Klare's print of Mickey's Fire Brigade Evan Samaras' purchased at CineSea copy of U-8's 200' Jaws (great edit, good color!)
 Shorty's print of Bela Lugosi & Oliver Hardy interviews
3D screening! Guy Taylor's print of Murder in Three Dimensions and my copy of U-8's Creature from the Black Lagoon. Thank you for the glasses, Claus!
Scope show: Trailers for Daleks Invasion Earth, Bridge on the River Kwai and the great promo Carousel 55.
 Jason Smith brought a terrific 200' cutdown of the original Godzilla (optical sound)
Walton's 200' Three Stooges Go West (Shorty) Steve Klare also brought a touching newsreel that I had not seen before: The Elephant Never Forgets
The 16mm films included: What's Opera Doc (gorgeous print!) a Joe McDoakes one reeler: So You Want A Raise An amazing clip from Tom Jones' TV show where he performs with Jerry Lee Lewis The Making of Poltergeist A trailer for The Marx Brothers' A Day at the Races, which led to the lights coming up for Gary Crawford's amazing performance as Groucho! A beautiful Pan Am travelogue on Japan Not 1, not 2, but 3 episodes of The Crimson Ghost!
The screening came to an end at 1 AM with the Major 8 Movies 400' excerpt from Kentucky Fried Movie, the very funny parody A Fistful of Yen.
 70mm!
I can now announce the dates for CineSea 15: We'll start the evening of Friday April 28, 2017 and go through Sunday April 30th. We hope to have a fun little side excursion on early Sunday afternoon.
Start arranging those schedules!
Doug
