There was a post on hear a while back about a 16mm film being available at Hollywood video, does anyone know about any 16mm or Super 8 films that you can rent at Hollywood video or Blockbuster video?

Thankyou.

I think the "Video Stores" thread covered super8. As for 16mm there's

There are two many 16 mm movies to count.

Even "LEAVING LOS VEGAS," was shot in

Super 16!

There are countless films with 16mm

may have seen, or may be able to find
at the store. These aren't my suggested
films by any means, just ones I noticed!

Madonna: Truth or Dare
She's Gotta Have It
Pink Flamingos; et al
Blair Witch Project(s)
Basket Case
Monterrey Pop Festival
Woodstock
Texas Chainsaw Massacre; shot on
Ektachrome 7252 no less!

American movie was shot in 16mm? I have that movie. Damn I didn't know 16mm looked that good. I thought it was 35mm.

Thanks for the help.

When I first saw American Movie Chris Smith and Sarah Price were there for a Q&A session afterward. I specifically asked about the gauge and they ssid 16mm. What we saw that night was a 35mm blow up.

The IMDb says it was shot in 35mm so one of my sources is wrong. I think it was 16mm.

The picture I saw that night did not look that good. It had a very noticible grain. I have also noted that the DVD looks great. I think the transfer to DVD came off better than the blow up to 35mm. On the other hand the 35mm was projected onto a 25 ft screen; the DVD is on a 25 inch screen.

Christoper Noland's first film FOLLOWING was shot on 16mm as well as Jim Jarmush's STRANGER THE PARADISE. Another film I believe was shot in S16mm was Spike Lee's GET ON THE BUS.You should be able to find all three titles at either store.

BTW dose anyone know if the B/W sequences in Eyes Wide Shut were shot in 16mm? It seemed like it.

"Get on the Bus", like many of Spike Lee's films, has portions done with a 16mm camera. Supposedly, he used a K3 camera for those parts. I doubt that it was a super 16mm, but it's possible. I say that because those cameras are cheap, and such modifications are usually done on better cameras.

According to the imdb, "Eyes Wide Shut" was shot with an Arri 535B camera. Usually it tells if another type of camera was used for a certain part. It is an accurate database, but of course not always 100%.

Director Mick Garris shot "The Stand," the big eight-hour 1994 Stephen King mini-series, entirely on 16mm to keep the budget down. He mentions this on the commentary track on the DVD.

Yes, it's available at Blockbuster. Whatever happened to West Coast Video or the old Mom-and-Pop video stores that had names like Videopalooza or Video Tyme? Not that there's anything wrong with Blockbuster, but it seems like that's the only video store in existence anymore.

The Arri 535B is a 35mm camera.
