What 16mm Films Did You See Last Night?

[Janice Glesser]

I can never get enough of Robert DeNiro and Meryl Streep and a good love story. DeNiro and Streep run into each other at a book store during a Christmas shopping spree. Weeks later they meet again riding the same commuter train and there is an instant attraction. Despite both being married their attraction grows and they continue to see each other. Also in the cast is Harvey Keitel, Dianne Wiest, and Jane Kaczmarek.

My print has great color and sound. The Norwegian subtitles don't bother me.

Last night I watched Albert Finney and Diane Keaton in the 1982 film Shoot the Moon. Set in the SF Bay Area...probably Marine County and a few shots in San Francisco. Peter Weller (pre-Robocop) and Karen Allen are also in the cast. This LPP print has great color and sound. Some scenes have been edited for TV...but nothing of importance missing.

Tonight I watched Walter Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and Goldie Hawn in Cactus Flower (1969). Walter Matthau plays a womanizing dentist who to avoid commitments tells his girl friend Goldie Hawn that he is married with 3 children. However Matthau eventually decides he loves Goldie and proposes to her. However...Goldie won't marry him until she can meet his wife. Ingrid Bergman who plays Matthau's dental assistant then poses as his wife and tells Goldie she is ok with a divorce. Things get very complicated after that. This is a fun movie with very good supporting character actors...and don't forget Goldie won an Oscar for her performance.

I watched a couple of 16mm shorts tonight. One of them was Pacific 231: both the title of the film and the piece of music that the film was created around.

-it's like Fantasia for railroad fans! (-or maybe a railroad film for Fantasia fans!)

(This was brought to us this evening via the Franchetti Tables at CineSea, Wildwood New Jersey!)

Watched Glenn Ford and Geraldine Page in Dear Heart (1964). Geraldine Page is a quirky but caring single women who while attending a postal convention in New York meets up with the recently engaged womanizing greeting card salesman Glenn Ford. Their relationship starts out a bit rocky...but they grow closer over the course of the movie. The music scored by Henry Mancini works so well with this film. I always find myself humming the title song well after I've finished watching the movie.

Last night was Superman the movie, haven't watched it in a while so decided to dig it out, apart from a few lines it still looks good, amazing it's over 40 years old, I saw it at the cinema when it was first released, Mark

Another French film (from 1953) : L'ennemi public numéro 1, with the famous actor Fernandel. My copy has English subtitles but since the action is set in the US (mainly in New York), it adds to the atmosphere of the film. It starts explaining that the Americans know Europeans by caricatural films and that it was time to make a film with all American clichés. So, it's a kind of parody of gangster films. Not a masterpiece but I spent a good moment.

[Tom Johnson]

Watched Bride of Frankenstein and Son of Frankenstein. Nice prints that I've had for years. Then went to look at 16mmfilmtalk.com to look for more to buy but found the site down. Anyone have news?

[Dominique De Bast]

Au fil des ondes. A French film in which appear many stars from the '50s. It's a kind of documentary about the post war French public radio. It seems that m'y cppy is a digest.

Hope a afternoon show qualifies for this thread :-)

Yesterday I screened the „new“ used treasures I‘ve bought one week ago: „Wallace & Gromit - The Wrong Trouser“, „The Snowman“ & „The Red Balloon“ which were amazing colorful and 95 % scratch-free.

I watched reel 1 & 2 last night of Max Dugan Returns (1983) and will finish the 3rd reel tonight. Great LPP print and a fun watch. Jason Robards is a treat in this screen play by Neil Simon that also features Marsha Mason, Donald Sutherland, and a very young Matthew Broderick.
