Thanks for the comments and rating AmrlkJaneway. Yes I own many 35mm feature prints, cartoons and classic trailers. All of my film is stored on 6 thousand foot metal reels (except cartoons), vertically stored and I keep the room at less than 35% humidity and a temp of between 55 and 65 degrees.

AmrlKJaneway  » May 17, 2013 12:16 AM

Wow. That's excellent. This is the best gallery on this site, simply due to the 35mm. That's amazing! Do you actually own any film prints? How do you store them?

My jaw dropped when I saw that popcorn machine and 35/70mm projector and also the speakers behind your screen; 10 was easy after that!

Movie Man Don  » Apr 24, 2013 09:24 PM

Thanks sancha and mywhitenoise. I appreciate the comments.

sancha  » Apr 24, 2013 09:05 PM

Great set up! Excellent job!

mywhitenoise  » Apr 22, 2013 06:18 PM

This is insane!

Wow... wonderful home theatre! Very nice auditorium and fantastic booth! Brings back fond memories. Sure wish I still had 35mm capability (and the space for it), but after a flood destroyed my basement theatre over 15 years ago I had to start over from scratch, sticking with 16mm and now mainly HD video projection.

All you have to do is take a pic of any film you show when using your Century 35/70MM projector. use the same camera you use to take the pics you posted on this site. Easy. I wouldn't use the flash when taking pics of the screen. Can't wait : )

Movie Man Don  » Sep 14, 2012 03:10 PM

Thanks for the comments guys! I've NEVER done a screen shot before so if someone can tell the the best way to do that, I'll make it happen.

Awesome setup. Love the speakers and gear. Nice popcorn machine.

kong73  » Sep 14, 2012 09:55 AM

Wonderful set up. you need to post some screen shots... I'm dying to see what that Century 35/70MM projector looks like.

GunZenBomZ  » Aug 04, 2012 06:07 AM

Classic & inspiring room, well done for sharing it with us.

L-Rouge  » Jul 31, 2012 06:39 PM

That is wonderful, that is a true theatre. It is amazing to see. A full 10/10 for the passion behind it all. Incredible.

Trogdor2010  » Jul 31, 2012 12:06 AM

Holy Sh*t, this is awesome!! I love the 35mm projector set up, even got the Dolby sound encoders!

Movie Man Don  » Jul 26, 2012 01:46 PM

Thanks prerich and you other guys for the compliments!!

prerich  » Jul 26, 2012 09:40 AM

Vintage, Klipsch and JBL (both horn loaded), and projectors.....nothin but 10's here!!!! NICE SYSTEM!!!

Movie Man Don  » Jul 25, 2012 11:22 PM

rpatt....I've been collecting 35mm film for many years. There is a 35mm collectors forum on the web but even easier for everyone you can purchase full length 35mm features on Ebay. Just do a search for 35mm features, 35mm items.

rpatt  » Jul 25, 2012 10:35 PM

Amazing system. Where do you get the films for your Century?

ilikemytoys  » Jul 13, 2012 03:26 PM

Fantastic job! Wonderful projector and a very nice popcorn machine, too!

kevon27  » Jul 13, 2012 02:10 PM

I Love it.. I like the use of pro audio in your theater.. Please add MORE pics of your gear and if you can some detailed explanations. Bravo.

ZIPPO  » Jul 13, 2012 01:00 PM

Did you move into the local theater? or Move the local theater into your home? Love the vintage PC maker & projector! Gear list, details?

Flatnate  » Jul 13, 2012 12:40 PM

Welcome to the forum! I ran across one of your first forum posts, where you revealed that you indeed have a Century JJ 35/70mm projector with a 2000 watt xenon lamphouse. 70mm!?! Dude, you just won coolest theater on the forum in my book right there! That may not be the prettiest couch, or even the best lighting in a few of the pics... it doesn't matter... Century JJ capable of 70mm ... in your house... you win. My jaws on the ground.
