I would have loved to have had a print of "The Wicker Man" in
either gauge or a copy of "Caligula".I always thought this would
have made a nice multi reel cutdown.

You guys have taste, very nice choices. Mine would probably be the thirties Universal classics; Frankenstein etc., which are mostly available, I just can't afford them!

"The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams" super 8 optical sound feature with GOOD color. I have a print of this, but it's faded. This is now a six year search for this title.

@Paul Adsett -- did Derann ever release Vertigo? And seeing as the movie was made in Mono, and only the horrible 1996 reissue has stereo sound, why would you want it in stereo?

Anything by Brian DePalma in 16mm....especially PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE.

I also have an old Mcgraw/Hill film catalog and DePalmas short THE RESPONSIVE EYE was available in 16mm for rental or sale so I know that one is out there. If anyone bought a copy that is!

I have only the 200ft Scope extract from Derann "really nice colour" of South Pacific. I would have liked to have it as the full feature.

I'd love to have Werner Herzog's Fitzcarraldo. Although he is known for some other features, this is my favorite.

An obvious one would have to be The Artist. Some others: What Dreams May Come, District 9, Monster and anything by Guillermo del Toro.

How about CINEMA PARADISO .I know it was never launched on Super8 but it was, I believe, on 16mm. Can anyone confirm this ?
Thanks.

It would have been nice if Derann had released in cinemascope
the film "Journey to the Centre of the Earth",Which for all the
remakes,still hasn't been bettered.

Richard and I also have a 16mm print of Greed (not for sale though) and have had both Super 8 and Standard 8 prints of Greed so they are out there...I sold my Super 8 print through this forum.

OH and film I wished i had...The remaining French 9.5 Napoleon extracts I am missing so I can run a 4 hour NAPOLEON on 9.5

Fantasia (the original).

-The entire movie, end to end, in stereo, with English narration.

I have the extracts, including Claire de Lune, which is such an "extract" it was cut out of the theatrical release entirely, but what a thing it would be to be able to see it end to end as Walt Disney himself intended!
