Thats an impressive list Tom [Cool]

some very rare ones to [Smile]

Years ago I watched a film called "Dear Frankie"....a Scottish one [Smile]

Anyway I saw the trl on you-tube and the kid doing the dialogue sounded like he was an American doing a Scottish accent.. [Eek!]

NOOOOOOOO I thought. Anyway I had the trl on 35mm, but had never watched it, so screened it the other day and to my relief the dialogue was spoken by the same Scottish youngster as used for the dialogue in the film.....thank goodness [Big Grin]

...I remember when I was a young lad going to the local cinema was quite an event to look forward to. The coming attractions were always a thrill to see, some even more exciting than the feature presentation itself! Today, as other members have mentioned, I look for trailers to companion the features I have,
And show it prior the feature to warm the audience up for the full presentation.

Thanks Graham, it all started with the free trailer that came with a few iver films i bought from new. They use to offer free trailers, my first few were The Human Factor, The Klansman and The McMasters, all freebies and all full length. Human Factor and Klansman were sold on but still have McMasters and all the others. Again, its a list i will be downsizing over the coming year in order to reduce 8mm and get a few more 16s.
