This is a film that often comes up on the lists, the trouble is finding one with good colour

Very Un-Rare and most on the go or about to be.

£20 the 2 is more than enough.

Best Mark.

I agree, I spotted it, nice original boxes and then saw the words un-tested! At that point, I know from past experience, that it is well worth losing any interest that I may have had!

Far too much IMHO for a print most likely to be "on the turn" and with no screen shots and no projector to test them on... once again, surprise surprise!! [Wink]

The really rare copies are the late re-prints on poly stock, which have excellent colour, I had one recently and got very good money for it. There are plenty of the acetate copies around, with varying degrees of fade, but U8 were still re-printing earlier releases on the new polyester stock right up to their demise, and many were brought in by Derann when they went under.

On a similar note.......I have just bought a 1x400ft super8 of Jaws 2. I do see Jaws 1 every now and then but not this one.

Jaws 2 is a great 400 digest and seems a bit rarer than the 2 x 400.

The Jaws Blu Ray ( sorry ) is very nice and projects very well.

But of course doesn`t feel quite the same.

Best Mark.
