I was able to enjoy my wonderful copy of THE MUPPET MOVIE last week, which was a real treat to show the little ones in the family.
I have a new projector coming next week that I plan on working out with my print of SORCERER (1977).

Just now and recently : several French musical digests (made by an individual) from '30s, '40s and '50s films.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Indeed after having checked again the image is a little truncated on the sides but with the black edges it is much less obvious.
Happy new year all

Pierre - according to IMDB, 'Hook' has an aspect ratio of 2.39:1. As your print is clearly 'squarer' than 2:1, there must be some cropping at the sides, but at least it doesn't have the cropping at the top and bottom that would apply if it was a scope print!

On the video do you think it's the complete image?
I've just watched two "séances musicales", musical extraits from French films. I also watched other séances musicales a few nights ago. They are entertaining and repeteables. Some have only the songs of a film, others are kind of digests and have more dialogues.

My family all got together and made a delicious ham Christmas Eve dinner topped with a peach cobbler and homemade eggnog at my house tonight. After dinner they played a party game and then we watched my 16 mm print of "It's a Wonderful Life."

Hi everyone,
Last night i check the film i was going to project for Christmas. It will be Hook from Steven Spielberg, i think it's perfect for this time of year. I was in heaven when i bought it.
Here some extract from the movie. On the video it's look a bit red but in reality the colors are great.

Several night ago : Train de plaisir. As the title suggests, it's a French film. Nice 1936 comedy with intersting views of a train and a train station. Unfortunately, my copy is, for an unknown reason slightly abridged. Still enjoyable, tough.

Tonight's wander through my 16mm collection was a little like watching a very big 1.33:1 television screen as you will see.......
Sgt. Bilko 1x1000' - "Bilko's Formula Seven." I know.... I watched it three weeks ago......but it IS Bilko....!
M*A*S*H 1x1000' - Not sure of the episode title as it certainly wasn't the one mentioned on the box (Best of Enemies), and no mention on the film leader itself. It was the one where there was a rumour that another MASH unit would be setting up nearby.
The Waltons 1x 1600' - "The Beguiled" - A posh female student runs John Boy off the road, steals his essay notes and plants them in the case of a friend of Jim Bob's who is known to be excellent at sleight of hand. Season 3 Episode 18
The Waltons 1x 1600' - "The Outsider" - Ben arrives home with someone in tow...... his new wife, Cindy. Series 7 Episode 20. Interesting to watch these two episodes together as there are so many differences. By Series 7 all the children are growing up, Grand-father has died, Grandma has had her stroke, Mary Ellen is widowed with a child, and Mrs.Walton wasn't in the series (although there was a phone call to her).
No film show next Saturday evening.
Actually, that is not strictly true. The film show I WILL be attending will be one in the presence of many members of this forum after tucking into a hearty meal in a hotel in a seaside town on the Western coast of England. The name escapes me................ !!!!!!

Well!,
It's getting to be that time of the year. I picked up this little Castle Films jewel on E-Bay this week. It's all of maybe 3 minutes: the shortest 16mm print I have. Along with Christmas Trailer Reel#1 from The Reel Image and many others including the Christmas movies I shot as a teenager, we'll have the Spirit of the Season on screen for sure!
I watched "Silent Night" yesterday: my wife decided she wanted to wait until Christmas to see it for real, so it was no major sound system and broad daylight while she was at the store: it was still really great! (She doesn't even know about Christmas Trailer Reel#1 yet!)
