If you can't do uncompressed, you can record in HDV mode (25 Mb/s MPEG2 in HD) and it'll only take up less than 30 GB and still look great.

The problem when filming projected film off of a screen is to synchronize the frame-change of the projector with the camera... otherwise you might catch a frame "in between" two projected frames, resulting in a blur. Alternatively you could play the film back at 1/4th of the speed, so that you'll most probably end up with at least one perfect shot of each frame. To increase resolution you could shoot the movie in sections... top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right, and stitch it together in post. Problem: Lens distortion... the edges of the frame might distort a bit, depending on the lens used, resulting in difficulties comping together the four sections.
Generally filming off of a screen isn't the best way, since you lose a lot of light, color and general quality.
