I just saw a trusty Bell & Howell 16mm in the 1987 movie SUMMER SCHOOL starring Mark Harmon and Kirstie Alley. They were watching The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Remember the TV Show Mystery Science Theater 3000? Well...they made a movie too. It was basically the same format with a guy and two robots making funny sarcastic commentary while watching very bad sci fi movies. In the movie version the commentary was a lot more edgy...and very funny. Anyway they used a projector stage prop at the introduction and during a mid-movie break.

Just watched MISS PEREGRINE'S HOME FOR PECULIAR CHILDREN and one of the child characters is a projector. As a added bonus, part of the story takes place in Blackpool; home of the Northwest Film Fair.

I was watching the series "Grange Hill" on You Tube recently. In one of the episodes (1983-84 era) the science teacher was having trouble threading a 16 mm projector (looked like a Bell and Howell). The students never did get to see the intended film!

Here's one nobody mentioned. It goes back to 1939. In "The Women", Normal Shearer shows home movies of a recent trip to her daughter using a 16mm projector.

Here's a projector sighting I just spotted in Warren Beatty's recent movie Rules Don't Apply. Movies about Howard Hughes in his later life deal with his bizarre behavior and this film was no exception. I liked the film's quirkiness and its supporting cast. Annette Bening...Matthew Broderick... Alec Baldwin...Martin Sheen...and Candice Bergen.

Nice shots Richard. I haven't seen that movie...but I notice it has Ryan Gosling and a chubby Russell Crowe I'm putting this on my must-watch list.

In The Founder (2016), a handful of film projectors can be seen in the office of the original McDonald's restaurant. They are never used on screen.

There's a tv commercial (for Haagen Dazs) that is currently shown in Belgium in this period but I couldn't find it on the net. It starts with young people watching a film projected by a cine projector.

Although this is a commercial for the iPhone there's plenty of film and projector references. Interesting juxtapositioning of the two technologies.
