Update:

After some time finding films, optimizing the setup, learning the basics of projector and film maintenance and watching movies, I have to say that 16mm movies are an expensive but worthwhile hobby... Seeing a movie on the silver screen at home, is very satisfying, and very much unlike watching a video display.

It's also interesting from a collector point of view, because acquiring feature movies takes some resourcefulness. It's also almost mind blowing what sort of image quality a 70 year old machine can produce, relative to how much tech is necessary to get something similar out of video! The Achilles heal is sound, it definitely isn't awful, but the quality is out of step with image quality.
