Does anyone know of a website that either sells or rents out old film prints for public showings at a theatre? I know this isn't really a consumer issue, but people on here are usually full of info.

STAY AWAY FROM OLD FILM PRINTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I saw Aliens (an original 1986 print) last week in Berkely, most of the print was shitty and scratched (except for the last hour) and had things snipped from it because stupid people cut frames out and sell them on the net. You wouldn't know untill you bought it.

But seeing Aliens on the big screen was a DREAM COME TRUE

I also got to see Ghostbusters and True Romance (brand new beautiful print, but R-rated) all within a month. God I love midnight movies
