Okay guys, let me put in my 2 cents worth.
I ran a one hour lab for 10 years, and we saw a lot of respooled movie film. It will toast the chemistry if ran through the C-41. The rem-jet backing comes off as black specks, which stick to the rollers and float around in the chemisty, and end up embedded in the rolls that come after it. It can be processed in C-41 by hand, and the backing squeegeed off.
For movie film, what I am looking for is black and white. Kodak makes Plus-X, 5231, and Double X, 5222. I've not shot any Double X in years, but I remember it being a wonderful film. The grain was large, and kind of soft, but I loved the look. Of course, I was developing it in Dektol at the time.
Anyway, try rawstock.com or filmemporium.com. Both sell short ends, rolls that are left over from movie shoots. I've not used them, but I've heard good things about them in the past.

Gabriel,
I was quickly thinking out the calculations, and there is "room for error".
