Hi each.
Im hoping to start collecting some full length features in the coming months and have been looking at various UK sites to find out if the following were ever released in Britain or abroad in Super 8:

Get Carter (the Michael Caine original)
Deliverance
The Wicker Man

Thanx for any help.

I beleive the Wicker Man was put out as a 4x400ft edition. Would have been cut but still run about 70 minutes.

Never seen the other two titles mentioned.

Thanx for that, John.
At least that's another one I can hope to spot in the future.
The quest continues!

Does anyone know anything else about THE WICKER MAN being released in any length on super 8!? That's a title I would definitely have had my eye out for but I have never even heard a reference to it before.

I'm not too sure John was spot on with "The Wicker Man", he may be thinking of "Witchfinder General" which did come out as a 4x400' feature, but I've never heard of any 8mm release from "The Wicker Man". I do believe that something from "Deliverence" was released in Germany with a German track, but not a 100% sure on that one, as I was going by a box cover, as I do not speak (or read) German.
