What 8mm films did I watch last night?

[Steve Klare]

Kind of Eclectic!

(-but I started out with a cartoon just to show proper form!)

Wabbit Twouble (1941) Bugs Bunny completely destroys Elmer Fudd's camping trip. (Being a camper myself, I'm not sure which side to take here!)
You're Darn Tootin' (1928, Scored Silent) Stan and Ollie play John Phillip Sousa: Sousa loses!
The Complete Silverton (1970-something) A wonderful journey on the D&RGW narrow gauge through the canyons of western Colorado. (Awesome print! -When we showed it at CineSea, someone described it as 16mm.)
Cops (1922, Scored Silent) Buster Keaton takes on the World, starting with the entire Los Angeles Police Department!

[Mark Mander]

L&H in Busy Bodies,a nice 400ft Walton print and the 400ft Elvis blooper reel from the 68 TV special, Mark

[Graham Ritchie]

Not last night but a couple of weeks ago. David Lean "Great Expectations" 1946 full feature. Excellent DCR print and sound mounted on two very full 1200ft reels.

[Brian Fretwell]

The Edgar Kennedy shorts Man over Mouse (400ft) and Home Canning (200ft) followed by the Calamity Jane 300ft promo.

[Lee Mannering]

Early Derann STD 8 sound release Nightmare in Wax and new print of the Goldeneye promo reel.

Been trying to find mid ground HID lamp focus on the Eumig dual gauge between Std 8 and S8 I'll get there eventually.. Yet to test Cinemascope OH MOOTHER!

[John Burgess]

Last week ,Watched Town on trial , mystery thriller ,great acting by John Mills the detective who solves the murder . Nice print with excellent mag track. Mounted on converted 16mm 1600foot Tuscan , with a T and J cartoon to start. Here's the coincidence! upstairs to bed, flicked on TV , always tuned to talking pictures channel, Town on trial just starting, you couldn't make it up!
Just love Standard 8 !

[Douglas Meltzer]

Pal Joey Promo Reel (CHC, 200') - Frank Sinatra talks about the film and introduces scenes.

Independence Day

The absolutely marvelous super eight scope stereo full length sound film from the wonderful people at 99 High St., Dudley West Midlands. 😀👍

this print had perhaps one of the best sound recordings I've ever heard it gave my subwoofer a workout!

[Graham Hobbs]

Hi, last night I watched a standard 8 copy of "The girl most likely" ,4 by 400 ,runs for 80 minutes, very good print an pretty good sound

[Melvin England]

Ironically, Graham, yesterday evening I was watching a 1x 400' standard 8 copy of the very same film. A tiny bit of story line, but concentrates more on song and dance routines.

[Lee Mannering]

My Dad used to love Pal Joey.

We should have been going south to visit Charles Hawtreys house again but cancelled due to car accident Burrrr. Anyway getting better so watched Carry on Camping printed up a very long time ago.

Followed by Carry on Behind trailer printed on Kodak Ektachrome 64T



This is the film that has Kenny using a Bell & Howell 16mm projector fun.

Got some S8 camera footage back from processing filmed my Eumig 860 HID projector in operation to preserve this historic Eumig moment
Its first show to a audience :-)

The footage will appear in my celebration of film cut to music.

[Osi Osgood]

Graham, you inspired me, we pulled out our super 8 low fade feature of "The Girl Most Likely"!

[Graham Ritchie]

A few nights ago I ran a number of Super 8 Scope films, this was one of them

[Brian Fretwell]

Just the Marketing 400ft of Chinatown, SP slight fade to pink, A Walton trailer reel on Agfa (Witchfinder General/Curse of the Crimson Altar/Hannie Calder) and the DCR trailer reel no 5 on surprisingly unfaded SP. This one has an advert for Guinness Light, a beer I don't remember, but as the "local" ads are for the Belfast area I suspect it didn't make it to England.

[Graham Ritchie]

This week has been "Super 8 in Scope" week. One full feature I again sat back and watched was "Raise The Titanic" here is a link to a previous screening
