I understand the danger of running original film through the projector, but, for me, it is the only way. We get the whole family together and show a reel or two (400 ft. reels). As my kids say, there's nothing like the sound of the projector, the smell or the hot lamp, and the flickering image on a 50in. screen. It's just not the same watching in on a TV.

The idea of projecting film has been so maligned by some of the digital video generation that most people, after having their precious home movies transferred to DVD, just throw the original film away! Not knowing that those Kodachrome films will long outlast any digital format!

With a well cared for, serviced projector of the right make and model, you should be able to view your films as often as you like without any fear of wear or damage to the film whatsoever so long as the film is kept well lubricated.
