There's a wonderful film from '88 called 'Cinema Paradiso' that portrays the friendship between a young boy and an aging projectionist who works at the titular movie theatre.  Tremendous musical score by the great Ennio Morricone.

Are you also interested in films for content such as what kind of movies do you like? Are you a fan of a certain genre? What are your favorite movies in each genre.  I wish you lived closer to me I would certainly love to get to know you better.

I ran Singer Graflex 16's in elementary school thru college and of course Viewlex film strip/slide projectors.  I have one of each around here somewhere.  If I could just find those propaganda films we watched at lunchtime on rainy days in the auditorium back in  elementary school in the late 60's and early 70's that would be awesome.  "From the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli......"

;O)
