What 8mm films did I watch last night?

[Michael O’Regan]

Sounds good. Nice purchase. My post was a reflection on my own shortcomings, not the sellers 😁

[Brian Fretwell]

I ran well yesterday, the sound was good but it did seem a little fast running at 24fps. I have adjusted speeds on Sankyos befor so not a problem.
I've bought films from Nigel in the past so I do know him.

[Michael O’Regan]

Brian, I almost bought that Sankyo but I’m always too wary of buying projectors from people I don’t know. It was a great price though. How is it running?

[Brian Fretwell]

An Agfa stock copy (silent) of the Tom & Jerry "The Truce Hurts" that I seem to have bought for 50p at a BFCC a few decades ago to test the new projector. This was followed by a good (not perfect) colour copy of Anchors Away and a 600 ft reel of trailersincluding Straw Dogs, Dog Day Afterneen, Taxi Driver, Raiders of the Lost Ark, 2001, Atilla the Hun and many more.

Some Derann Disneys. Steamboat Willie, Mad Doctor , Lonesome Ghosts and Thru the Mirror

[Brian Fretwell]

Lst night all but one of the films I bought at the BFCC a 200ft cinemascope tour of London produced by Tony at the Widescreen Cantre, a 200ft of The Perishers cartoon "Dog Training" and the Derann 400ft cut down of New York, New York (Liza Minelli and Robert De Nero), al cleaned and lubricated first. I'll watch the other tonigh, possibly on the Sankyo 700 projector I bought there, after testing it with a "scrap" 200ft bought without title for £1. (Try buying an empty 200ft reel for that on EBay!!)

Hey Doug, I just recently acquired this sound version, before that I only a silent print. This felt like a particular upgrade. The sound track is very tastefully done and with all the music related scenes the sound effects add a lot to this silent film.

Zack,

At last week's CineSea, one of the many prints screened on Saturday night was a Blackhawk of You're Darn Tootin'. Very funny film and also a nice print.

[Brian Fretwell]

For me mainly triklers Murphey's War, Cleopatra, The Passage, Theatre of Blood, The Longest Day, Annie, followed by the last part of Walton's 4x400ft of Hannie Clader - all 'scope.

Only the last part so I could get to bed early to get up to go to todays BFCC, I'm about to set out now

[Zack Sporre]

Tonight we watched Blackhawk prints of Your Darn Tootin followed by Barney Oldfield's Race For A Life.
Both super 8 with soundtrack.

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad - Piccolo Film 400'

A nicely edited digest with good color, though a bit grainy.

[Brian Fretwell]

Part 2 of Die Hard III (the subway train bomb chase) a White Box Special, great colour but some small horizontal marks in places.

[Edward Nicielnik]

North By North West Cary Grant Eva Marie Saint James Mason Excellent Color

[Graham Ritchie]

I still watch "The Neverending Story" every so often Brian, its certainly an excellent Scope digest and most likely one of the most popular,

[Brian Fretwell]

Last night The Neverending Story 600ft Derann plus the trailer (Steel Valley) of There's no Business Like Show Business (faded) and the last reel of the feature from Derann on LPP.
