What 16mm Films Did You See Last Night?

[Janice Glesser]

Curly Sue (1991) ... James Belushi, Alison Porter, Kelly Lynch, and Fred Thompson.

A great film flat or scope and to get a good copy on 16mm, you have done well.

[Pierre Mdihi]

Hi Tom,
I have check, you are right. The seller was sure the film was in scope. But it's still very enjoyable to project this film.

[Tom Photiou]

Pierre, Very good to get this 16mm and in very good condition, im not 100% sure that this is a scope print though as the image doesn't look squeezed.

[Dominique De Bast]

Great colours, Pierre.

Hi everyone,

I just watch my new buy, Terminator 2. I haven't the scope lens but it was despite everthing a delight to look at.

I made a video (sorry for the quality): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9x5g9xih3g&t=131s

Three short films (on the same spool and in French) : first, two episodes of the Colombia serie "Screen snapshots" (Vie de vos stars in French) : In Memoriamwith (Leslie Howard and Carole Lombard), and Looking Back (Stars à leurs débuts) with a lot of stars like Bette Davis, Olivia de Haviland, Cary Grant, Tyrone Power...Then, one 1963 "Actualités françaises" (French news) with various subjects : De Gaulle/ Eisenhower meeting, Princess Anne go to school, Fashion, Maurice Chevalier celebrates his 75 bithday, Lyon future Olympic city.

Dominique, the box alone is spectacular!
Great!

A French cartoon from the serie "Au clair de la lune". Those cartoons were brodcasted on TV in the '70s. Great colours. Then a 1957 Belgavox news. As the name Belgavox suggests it, those newsreels were Belgian made. They may have been showned in France as well, as, in the comments, a number is said the French way and not the Belgian one. I'm lucky that the box has a detailed list of the different subjects.

Brian Keith was a fascinating actor

[Janice Glesser]

"The Russian's are Coming The Russians are Coming" (1966) ... Fading but with colored filters still looks good. This was the first movie playing at the San Francisco theater I worked at just out of high school.

Remember I left the world of 16mm to embrace my other film gauges. Well, I've gone a purchased a small van load of ELF'S ELP!
Anyone in the UK needing spares I may have one or two

Sort of projected some 16mm doing a frame by frame inspection on the viewer and clean of a old new to me film TONS OF TROUBLE with beloved Mr Pastry. This must be the 8th print I have had in my lifetime.


Richard with his wife Yvonne who passed away just a short time ago. Met Richard a few times as I lived near him, but sadly not his dear wife.

It was actually last morning : a French film titled "Pour cent briques, t'as plus rien" ("For One Million, You Don't Get Anything Anymore"). It's a 1982 comedy, again with a French soundtrack and Danish subtitles. I wished I had more films from that source since the colours are superbs. Although it's a film in French, I found some dialogues about money a little bit confusing some times as it was not always in "francs" (the curency, as everybody probably already knows) but sometimes in "brique" (which was a slang word for 10.000 francs) and sometimes in "old francs" (a new 1960 franc was 100 old francs, so until the avent of the euro, on French medias it was often talked of "centimes" or "old francs" together with the new francs. A "brique" could be 10.000 new francs or 1.000.000 old francs. Ir was obvious in the Danish subtitles that it has not been unclear only for me since the numbers written (the only thing I could understand !) were not always what was said. It was nice to see the actress Anémone who sadly died in 2019 at the age of 68.

Le jumeau (The Twin), a 1984 French comedy with Pierre Richard (the main actor in "The Tall Blonde Man With One Balck Shoe"). Lavish colours on my Danish copy (in French with a Danish subtitles).

Laurel and Hardy Murder Case and trailers to Jack the Giant Killer and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Sorry no way to do screen shots. Must get one.

Best Mark.
