All types, silent, black and white, color, only music, with sound.
We spread out our blankets and pillows in the living room and covered the window well.
I will always have a spot of nostalgia for Laurel and Hardy.

These posts always make me smile. Do you think you’re the only 2 who watched them? Well, I’m your third sister now!

Only if you also borrowed them from the King County Library in Skyway.
One Week was our favorite.

We had these in school. And sometimes it would jam up for a few seconds and the heat of the light would eat the frame and ruin the whole thing.

I miss slide projectors too.

A reel is a large wheel that the tape is wound on. A full one is set in the front of the projector. The tape is treaded through the projector then wound on an empty reel.
🎦
A bright light on the projector projects the movie onto the screen across the room.
The newer films had sound as well.
