35mm film

[Ron Graham]

i am looking for a few films to start the new out door booth, i have just bought the booth from a dive in in southern ohio, sad that yet another drive in goes by the wayside but at least the equipment will go on showing movies as they were meant to do. i am going to use the platter system. i really want to use all if it that i can.

thanks Ron

Looking forward to the pictures....It's so sad when another Drive-In closes it's proverbial "doors" (or the main gate)...Thanx for keeping at least some of it "alive"....Good luck in your search for 35mm prints.

Ron,

In case you haven't discovered it already, there is a forum dedicated to 35mm film: http://www.35mmforum.com
If you want something cheap, use the search feature of the forum and search for "el cheapo". They've got a thread on cheap (under $50) prints that is revived every now and then. You might still be able to find something in there, or otherwise, just revive the thread by posting a new message asking for 'food for your projector'. The owner of the forum also has a liquidation sale going on. Lots of stuff for sale with a good selection of features for as little as $15!
Looking forward to see your pictures!

In addition to el cheapo, the guy who runs the forum is always having a sale which includes movies that cost less then the shipping.

Star Dust drive in theater projection booth in Jackson Ohio

When I was in college (mid 1970's), I was manager & projectionist of the Town & Country Drive-In in Coalton Ohio. At the time, it had just been renovated and was a nice place. Where was the Star Dust?
