Name a Feature Shot on Super-8 Film...

[capul8]

Alex,
Any amount of Super 8 footage on any kind of "feature" (including vid release)?
If yes, I'll jump in with Oliver Stone's JFK.

Related trivia question: Most famous piece of Super 8 film is obviously the Zapruder film of JFK's assasination. What camera and film stock did Mr. Zapruder use?

Hold everything...knowitall just informed me of my mistake. And I even knew that S8 wasn't introduced til '64. Time travel, anyone? Here's the info:
"Since 1949, Abraham Zapruder had operated his "Jennifer Juniors, Inc. of
Dallas," manufacturing women's and young ladies' clothing. In 1963, the
company ran out of the fourth and fifth-floors of the Dal-Tex Building
at 501 Elm, across Houston Street from the Depository. With his two
children, Henry and Myrna, now grown and with young children of their
own, Zapruder purchased a Bell & Howell Zoomatic Director Series 8-mm
camera, Model 414 PD in 1962 in order to record his grandchildren's
activities. Fortunately for history, it was one of the best-quality home
cameras then available." Film stock was 8mm Kodachrome II.
Gosh, I hope Ollie Stone doesn't think I'm part of the conspiracy...

A 100% super8 feature filmed in Death Valley National Park on some of the last of Kodak's super8 sound film. The sound sucks but according to Anarchy101's site it has been upgraded. Telecine done by Super8Sound in Burbank. Music is great.

Flatliners, JFK and Natural Born Killers are often mentioned but none were entirely in super8.
