Which movie screen for Super 8

[kentek]

If you were going to project your Super 8 films what movie screen would you buy?

I see a brand "Da-Lite" but it is really pricey. I think they are for home theater with electric motors etc.
Is there anything out there for less?

Savage has a nice one that's not too pricy.

Not that I have seen - you could do the white sheet trick...or use your garage door? A wall will suffice too.

But, really, the dalites are quite good - avoid the motor ones...I have a white one hanging in my living room - matches the crown molding! You can get a good NEW one for like $135 I would think. It's important to have a nice screen if you plan to use it a few times a year. Otherwise, set the projector on a table and show your film on a 8.5 x 11 printer paper - lots of folks do that to do transfers, etc...the smaller size makes it look more puncht and sharper too.
