16mm feature movies

Does anyone here run 16mm movies at home? I have a decent home theatre, but the recent change over from film to digital in commercial theatres has left me feeling that I can't see a movie properly anywhere anymore, and I want to try running film at home.

I have a DeVry projector from my grandparents, they used to make 16mm home movies with optical sound back when that was the thing to do. Getting the projector working shouldn't be a major problem, and I can use the my existing home theatre screen. The projector has a separate amplifier and 12" speaker, but I am thinking to take audio and put it through an EQ and then run it though my existing La Scalas instead of use the old DeVry amp and speaker.

What I would like to know is if anyone here is running 16mm film at home? Some general advice on things like where to get feature length movies, what to be aware of or to avoid would be most useful.
