  ### Answer by username_1 on 2012-01-31. Score: 6 | Accepted answer
  
  4,051 feet of film.
  
  For reference:
  
  * 8mm = 80.0 frames per foot
  * Super 8 = 72.0 frames per foot
  * 16mm = 40.0 frames per foot
  * 35mm 2-perf = 32.0 frames per foot
  * 35mm 3-perf = 21.3 frames per foot
  * 35mm = 16.0 frames per foot
  * 65mm = 12.8 frames per foot
  
  The math:
  
  > 60 minutes = 3600 seconds, 3600 sec x 24 fps = 86,400 frames, 86,400/21.333 = 4,050.06328
