Okay folks, the old movie buff is re-emerging in me and I was wondering if
anyone could point me in the direction of a web site where I can read up on
what constitutes a 'reel' time wise in movies.
I know old 'one realer' comedies are about 7 minutes - yet two realers can
range from eighteen to 23 minutes (and one Our gang silent is technically a 3
reeler at 25ish minutes). I also saw a movie poster for a 3 hour silent film
in 13 reels.
When I worked at a movie theater I know that films came either each reel in
their own container and sometimes two reels in one so remembering the timeing
from them is kind of hazy for me. I can also go into many examples I have
heard/read that just seem (to me) contradict each other (including DVD
commentaries).
IS there a one stop shopping on the web that explains it all? Maybe different
explanations fof different time periods?
JUST CURIOUS! :P
Sign me on this one,
