Thank you Vidar. I just received this movie. I hadn't seen it in years. It's an excellent B&W print and I'm excited to add it to my small 16mm collection [Smile]

I watched one of my favorites last night. Frank Capra's It Happened One Night (1934).

I don't see this movie on TV anymore...not even on TMC. The Devil's Deciple (1959) stars Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Laurence Olivier, and Janette Scott. Set during the Revolutionary War, shows the role reversals between a black sheep of a family (Kirk Douglas) and a local minister (Burt Lancaster).

We saw a very average 16mm which could easily be mistaken for a Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill film. Were No Angels, scope

Screened a very nice complete version of March of the Wooden Soldiers (1934) I bought from Roger Shunk. I loved this movie when I was a kid and I'm hoping to show it to my grandson's when they visit this Christmas.

Janice,

Great screen shots of both Toyland and It Happened One Night.

Is the Toyland print from different sources, because some of the screen shots look different. Nevertheless, it's the best that I've seen.

And wow, It Happened One Night never looked better. It's my all time favorite.

I can watch it again and again. That's a difficult print to find. Wish that I had one too.

Enjoy.

Wow Vidar that Stargate print looks absolutely lovely.

I remember going to the Cinema and just looking to see what was on and landed in Stargate and it was so bloomin good.

Came out buzzing.

Don`t let that one go Vidar.

Best Mark.

Thanks, Mark and I won't ... Love Sci-Fi and horror so this stays :-) Unless my back get much worse and I have no one to help with it :-/

Crossing my fingers that I can handle at least one 600m reel :-)

Vidar,

I have always wanted to see the Straight Story. Richard Farnsworth was also nominated for an Academy Award as Best Actor.

Are the Laurel & Hardy screen shots taken from 16mm or 35mm?

I do not know anything about 35mm.

What model 35mm projector do you use and how do you manage the collection and the projector?

Are the reels broken down onto cores and then replaced onto reels again?

What is the size of the projector?

Do you run the movie in 10 minute sections?

Do you use a halogen lamp?

Do you keep the 35mm projector set-up in a separate booth?

You should absolutely see this film, it's a touching, heartwarming and super film and I am so happy to have this

> Are the Laurel & Hardy screen shots taken from 16mm or 35mm?

Not sure which you mean? Janice has posted some, if I posted any in this thread, it is for sure 16mm (and I only have short extracts)

> What model 35mm projector do you use and how do you manage the collection and the projector?

I have a portable Philips FP 23 (same as the Kinoton) and managing this format is hard work :-) Heavy films

> Are the reels broken down onto cores and then replaced onto reels again?

You can do that, usually you get a normal length film onto to big reels, but mine is kept on cores all the time and in 600m (same running time as 400' Super 8). My roof is too low for bigger reels :-)

> What is the size of the projector?

As a small reference, the wheel you see half of at the right side is a 1200' Super 8 reel

> Do you run the movie in 10 minute sections?

About 20 minutes per reel

> Do you use a halogen lamp?

Yes, mine is not a huge projector, so uses a 450W Halogen, if I remember correctly

> Do you keep the 35mm projector set-up in a separate booth?

I should, but the space doesn't allow it. Very noisy projector and crossing my fingers for winning the lottery, then a new garage with a cinema will be up :-)

Vidar,

This is absolutely fantastic.

Thanks for taking the time.

I give you a lot of credit, it's been a dream of mine to have some films on 35mm.

From our club showing last night. We started off with a 16mm widescreen (not scope) feature called The Midnight Man (seems to be quite rare with no DVD releases it seems)

It was bought as red from CHC, but I was happy with the print at 25 GBP. Was expecting more red than this.

And I put on my "new" Abbott and Costello, Take Bus Pay Later on 16mm. Spent a fortune on it. 2 GBP :-) Well worth it
