Although, due to getting back into work and the long daylight hours up her in the summer - I only managed 13 showings.

I must do better in 2022! 🤞

Just watched another new acquisition, "Dad Boot" , classic U boat action film, with beautiful unfaded color. Very important, as all the action takes place in a dark, claustrophobic German U boat. Super 8 optical sound, German film but with a dubbed English soundtrack. Also, it is bin it's original letterbox!

My Das Boot is still the original German.

-but when a bunch of sailors are screaming in terror about the seawater rising around them, no translation is required!

I don't know German as a language, (besides what I have gleaned from classic WW2 films), so I am most happy with it.

What a cool one to have in your collection, Osi!

I’m currently saving up for a new Steve Osborne REEL IMAGE print for 2022! Always worth putting all those Penny’s in the piggy bank.

I love Jamie Lee Curtis in that one! A lot of fun. Amazing to see how far her career has come since HALLOWEEN.

Just about clinging to Christmas watched The Snowman, alarmingly going faded. Not to worry it has entertained many and not just in this household over the years.
Might see a new release of this yet you never know to renew it.
Ended with the vintage Arrow release of Jack and the Beanstalk animated purchased as a child. The films the same with sound but i seem to have aged ....a little

Closing out the year before I go to work on New Years Eve and setting a personal best at the same time

7pm
The Wizard of Oz 400 foot digest showing with George Orwell's Animal Farm

after a short break

9pm
Laurel and Hardy in the Bohemian girl and this will be show number 100 for the year specifically in super eight making the grand total including other formats right around 143

I really do love this hobby!

I was about to say to Ali that 13 showings in a year is still to be applauded....... that is 13 more than most of the worlds population and an average of just over once a month...... Then I read Chip's post above and that blows everything out of the water ! Well done Chip !

For me, I am now done and dusted with super 8 for 2021. I suspect my total showings for the year (without checking back on this and the equivalent 16mm thread) would be around 20 - 25. I anticipate my next show will be 8th January after I have raided the CHC winter sale in Cleethorpes over that weekend, and checking what new films I purchased!

Happy New Year everybody !
