What 8mm films did I watch last night?

[Melvin England]

I had quite a substantial film night this last Saturday evening before Christmas, so it had to have a bit of a Christmas flavour.


Jurassic Park - 1x 100' Trailer - Just wetting my appetite for the arrival of that new 600'er landing on my door mat! Although this trailer is in mono, I discovered tonight it is recorded on both sound stripes.

The Lost World - Jurassic Park 2 - Trailer's x 2

Dante's Peak - Trailer

Batman & Robin - Trailer (these three titles spread over 2x 100' approx. spools)

The Night Before Christmas - 1x 200' Tom & Jerry

The Snowman - 1x 600' ( So that is both me AND Chip in Florida that have watched this one in the last 2 days!)

George Burns & Gracie Allen's Christmas Show - 1x 600'

Blue Hawaii - 6x 400' - Elvis !

The hilarious marketing-film 2-parter „The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe“ which is very funny and well edited. All I missed was the concert. Pierre Richard is a great comedian and the whole story is a perfect visit at the movies.
This 2x120‘ meters version has been distributed in Germany with the famous german dubbing. Is this title also available in other countries and languages? Maybe as a full feature in Italy?

One day I will find the trailer to Dantes Peak I so enjoy that film Melv.
Every film in your programme is a fave of mine excellent.

Had the pleasure af a masked fellow film collector visit for a short distanced time. Watched a Pathe newsreel.
Evening watched A train for Christmas
Christmas seals adverts trailers I compiled over 50 years ooo.
Christmas trailer reel #1 be sure to order from Reel Image it's going to be a film collectable.

Ended with Jurassic Park and Curse of the Werewolf both pin sharp.
That Werewolf print has a gorgeous look about it and of course Oliver Reed in top form.

Both stood up for The Queen, a cuddle and dreamed of a white Christmas. Zzzzzz

Oliver, the French film you quoted (Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire) exists as a full feature in (Air France) optical version. The film has two soundtrack, one in English and one in French but sadly, only the soundtrack in English can be read on our projectors. Air France had special projectors (it's said they were Beaulieu but nobody confirmed that) but it seems that all those machines have disappeard.

How are the colors of your copy? Someone told me they’re all red already....

[Oliver Feld]

Joachim,
yes, reddish. But a touch of colour left.

[Oliver Feld]

One of the all time best „Christmas features“:
DIE HARD...! The first and the best.
Great Derann print and a phantastic soundtrack by Michael Kamen.
And how I miss Alan Rickman...!
A film that belongs onto the big screen...!!!!

[Osi Osgood]

Bill! I admire that you have a trailer for "Dr Moreau"! Didn't even know it exited on super 8! I'll have to look for that in the future! On a funny side note, I actually own a perfect color "Dr Moreau" 35mm trailer!

[Bill Phelps]

That trailer from Dr. Moreau is pretty short...in fact it appears to be TV spot. It may have come off of a Thunderbird trailer reel but I'm not sure.

Die Hard II

Beautiful Scope print on 4x600ft. I re recorded mine some time ago as it had the sanitised sound track putting it back to how the director wanted it.
Great movie as was MK1. I favour the first film over the second but both are really great on 8mm.
oh projected on the Eumig hid xenpow with my old German scope lens. Ultra bright.

[Chip Gelmini]

How's THIS for timing!

December 21 the Star of Bethlehem is visable for the first in 800 years and it happens when I am watching BEN HUR full length scope stereo super eight.

yep. I missed the star.
