What 8mm films did I watch last night?

[Dominique De Bast]

sound, which was in French on the balance stripe and English on the main stripe! Good eh ?
.

Lucky you

Three standard/regular 8 sound films (bought at Blackpool) : On The Beat (George Formby), The Night Caller (a 60m/200ft digest) and a cartoon with gerat (Walton) colours: Wild Wheeling Wheels (Motor Mouse And Auto Cat). The three films are in perfect condition (I had the lot for £8, thanks, Lee !) and were projected with my Eumig HID (again, thanks, Lee ).

Singin' in the Rain and Jolson Story.....old songs to drive the virus away!

[Oliver Feld]

The wonderful British classic „WHISKY GALORE“…! What a hilarious story, what a glorious film! A young Gordon Jackson and Jean Cadell as son and mother alone would make a great story, but the whole feature is full of funny and touching characters and thrilling (the sinking ship) moments!
A great Night at the Movies with an even greater Derann print!

[Phillip Campey]

Mickeys Christmas carole followed by Jason and the Argonauts Derann.

Two nights ago : Duel, the Universal 8 120m/400ft digest. Faded (a candidate for the next time I send a spool of films to Italy to have them rescued) but I got it for free from CHC (thanks Phil !). Today : West Side Story Scope Clip (with the song "America" ! ) and another musical : Star Performance.

Lincoln,

I hope this screening doesn't inspire any offbeat food choices for your next cooking post!

I thought I would have a midweek screening tonight just for a change, and also gives me a chance to view a few more films I acquired at Blackpool plus a few others.


Airport '75 - 1x 400' Scope - Yes, I watched this last Saturday, but tonight it was in all its cinemascope glory !

Summer Holiday - 1x 400' Scope - The colours are still superb.

Scope 55 - 1x 100' - Once again, great colours.

Summer Nights - 1x 200' Scope - Extract from "Grease"

The Riddle of The Sands - 4x 600' Scope - An outstanding print. great colour, clear sound

[Graham Ritchie]

Delightful 800ft reel of classic cartoons with excellent image and good sound. Some I bought new from Derann years ago . This for me, is where Super 8 shines over any other format

1.....Bottles 1936 truly an amazing cartoon'
2.....Mother Goose Goes To Hollywood 1938, well with this one you really have to know your "long" ago actors
3.....Grasshopper and The Ants 1934, This is one I bought new from Derann the color is simply stunning.
4.....The Ugly Duckling 1939.....brilliant stuff.
5......The Old Mill 1937, a great way to finish this 800ft reel

With all the seasonal film being watched it makes for a very nostalgic read and very much enjoying it here.

We watched: Christmas Visitor 12 Days of Christmas Rudolph the red nosed Reindeer Night before Christmas T&J. All films were colour.

Also a S8 film I made filmed at the top of Pendle Hill in a snow storm noted for the 1612 witch trials. One day I might get time to finish the 43 mile Pendle Way walk.

Ended with a new print of True Lies in sprawling Scope a thing of beauty and a level of quality we love to see. Whoever did the sound dubbing in the US did a fantastic job ending a perfect evening.

One day I might get time to finish the 43 mile Pendle Way walk. .

That might take you longer than a day Lee! There's a lovely film about Pendle on Youtube by a Burnley film makers group - do you know of it and them? It looks like it was shot on 16mm.

[Lee Mannering]

Indeed we had lots of endless fun all good memories back in the 80's.
A old friend of mine made a S8 Scope film of the Pendle Way back in the day.

I did have a sudden idea to make Mince Meat Pies after watching this film. I'm sure it's nothing to worry about though!! Haha!
