In an odd splurge moment, i bought a 16mm movie projector. dont ask me why...But, now that i have it, I have been looking on eBay and there is quite a few films for sale. Would there be any interest in having an old time movie night??

Maybe i could acquire some old school type films, or some old drivers ed movies or something. The Laurel and Hardy, 3 stooges, popeye, etc type films sell for a LOT of money so i probably cant get something like that.

What would your vote be??

1- Science related - school type films
2- Military stuff - Planes, tanks bombs etc
3- Old Sci Fi stuff - B movie sci fi films
4- Racing related - Old indy 500 etc
5- How its made type school films
6- Drivers ed movies - 1950's type
7- Sports - football, soccer etc.
8- Drama - 1970's type Hawaii 5-0 type stuff
9- Horror - 1950's Frankenstein, wolfman type stuff
10- cartoons
11- Old Sex Ed, STD, health, how the body works movies
12- Old TV commercials
13- a mix of stuff (vote for length 1, 2, 3 hours etc)
14- Special requests???

We would need to a place with a large room to host. I can do it here, i have a large living room but i don't have any furniture so it would be hardwood floor city, bring your own beach blanket kind of thing. Or?? an apartment complex that has a meeting room sort of thing???


Let me know what you think

I have seen some adult related stuff, most of it is burlesque. as adult type films were illegal for a long time. If people really want that type of old pron stuff i could look for it. might be hilarious!

I would definitely be game on that. I like the idea of old racing footage, how stuff is made, and any old educational films. The old edu films are usually good for side comments and laughs.

If you can find any old drivers' ed films (Blood on the Highway ETC) That would be incredible.

Yeah i have been looking for some of those DR Ed films. and most that i have seen thus far have been 1950's Drivers ed stuff. I would definitely buy it if i could find B.O.T.H. etc. My and John McGuire used to sit in the back of the classroom and laugh our asses off at those! everyone else thought we were sick but they were hilarious! so overly dramatic and lame hahahha

DING DING DING those old drivers' ed movies are GRUESOME.

I'd also watch some of the old school science movies and stuff. No need to watch old sci-fi movies as MST3K is on DVD now.
