Ex Projectionist looking for films I showed in the 1960s - Britmovie

airboss2311 · 30-11-2007, 04:16 PM

Hi Guys,
I am an Ex Odeon cinemas projectionist (Odeon Chelsea, Kensington & Odeon Leicester Square) looking to find on DVD some of the interesting British films I showed back in the mid sixties early seventies.

This is not as easy as it may seem, of course some of the more well known titles are still available comercially but some of the less well known films are not.

I'm not sure that they have ever been released on DVD maybe not even on VHS but I live in hope.

Anyway I hope that you guys maybe able to help over the next few months with my search for titles such as "OTLEY" (1968) Tom courtenay and Romy Schnieder.

Cheers Keith

I remember seeing "Otley" on tv a while back, pretty good film as I remember. What other films are you looking for? Must have been interesting working as a projectionist in that era.

I have seen an old VHS of OTLEY for sale in a second-hand shop, so it WAS issued. Keep an eye out on Amazon and eBay.

A seller on Ebay UK is currently selling a used VHS copy of Otley priced at £9.99. End date and time is 9 December 2007 at 17:26:51.
