Favorite Purchases of 2016
« on: December 25, 2016, 08:35:41 AM »
Hmm. Last year Thierry started a post asking us to show our favorite poster purchases of the year. He posted it in early December...and I've been waiting for it to reappear this year. Unless I'm blind and/or he posted it in a different section, I do NOT see it anywhere. So I thought I'd start it (sorry if I'm stepping on any toes) as the year is about to expire.  Last year I only posted 10. Thierry had a lot more than 10...so, using his example (and because I had such a good year, I really couldn't narrow it down), here are my 25 favorite purchases from 2016.


25. HOUSE OF WAX:




24. BLOOD-SPATTERED BRIDE (Italian 4f):



23. BLACK SABBATH:




22. ATTACK OF THE PUPPET PEOPLE:



21. THE BOWERY BOYS MEET THE MONSTERS:



20. SCREAMING SKULL:




19. NOT OF THIS EARTH (linen):




18. ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK(Studio style):



17. BEACH GIRLS AND THE MONSTER:



16. INDESTRUCTIBLE MAN:




15. FREAKS (re-release, linen):




14. FEMALE TROUBLE (French affiche small):



13. MUNSTER GO HOME:




12. TARZAN'S SECRET JUNGLE (linen):





11. TARZAN TRIUMPHS and TARZAN'S DESERT MYSTERY (linen re-release combo):



10. THIS NIGHT I'LL POSSESS YOUR CORPSE (Brazilian):





9. ONE MILLION YEARS B.C.:




8. FEARLESS VAMPIRE KILLERS (style B):




7. THE THING THAT COULDN'T DIE:




6. ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE:




5. THE NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS (lenticular):




4. PSYCHO (linen):




3. CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN (three sheet):



2. THE CREATURE WALKS AMONG US:



1. WAR OF THE COLOSSAL BEAST:



What were YOUR favorite purchases of last year?

Haven't bought a huge amount, but of the few, this is my favourite;

Picnic at Hanging Rock, Aussie Daybill



I wanted posters for Vertigo and 2001, but don't have the finances to get the ones I wanted, so I bought some re-release locandinas. They're very nice, but they're fairly recent re-releases, so not worth showing. Maybe 2017 will be different, hmm...

That Picnic at Hanging Rock has really done it's job.  I've had it in my 'to watch' queue for weeks (unbelievably I've never seen it in all these years) and I think it's time to finally have a look.  It's lovely.

It's also nice to see the Creature wearing sensible trousers (for once).  Can't go wrong with that trilogy.

It's well worth a watch.  Somehow I never noticed the "...A recollection of evil" tagline on that poster.  The portentous tagline contrasts nicely with the image of the virginal white-clad schoolgirls.

Shawn had quite a year, eh?  Wow!
Some great posters there, man...

I kinda had a late start to the year, what with work, moving, etc.
But it has been one of my best in the last few years.

Here's my highlights:

While I didn't purchase this beauty, I received it in a trade with one of the best collectors on this planet (or any other...) and it will probably be the first poster I frame this spring.



Another very cool poster is this signed by artist Graham Humphreys 30x40 print of his extraordinary image for a favorite chiller of mine.  Again, while I didn't purchase it, it was a gift from two more world-class collectors who surprised the sh*t outta me with this one.  Wow!



Next is a longtime favorite of mine, which I finally found rolled at a great price.
Marilyn Monroe by the late, great Tom Chantrell.



And then there's this Italiano SHE poster with art by Enzo Nistri.



Another Italiano favorite -- Return of the Living Dead.



Then, there's these three one sheets which are replacements for posters that I was gyped outta when I was a kid.
Very happy to get these.

Some spectacular pickups this year from all, not just here. I do really love the Mexicans though, they are something else. Franky is a killer too.

I had a few that arrived recently but have not photographed yet that make the list. Excluding those, these I think are the favorites for this year.

This one is the top of my list, Jedi English half billboard, 60"x120"-


Muppet Polish Animal-


Mardi Gras Yoda-


Can't forget Lawrence of course-

A lot of mighty nice acquisitions this year.

I only had a few poster wins, for some of my favorite movies.  I'm pretty stoked about them, and the upcoming year.  cheers

Zowie! I've been working the last few days (24th, 25th, and 26th). I had my original post done before then and just slapped it on whatever morning I posted it...and LOOK at all of the other posters that followed. Awesome job, gents! RoughOutline, that PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK is great. I might need one. DEKE, I love your Mexican posters---especially those first two you posted. GORGEOUS!!!  TED, oh my stars! BONANZA there!  I love them all. Some of those I missed seeing if you posted them elsewhere. I have to set my sights on a TRIFFIDS for sure though. WOW!  MATT, you already know everyone LOVES that FRANKENSTEIN poster...and it looks so festive next to your tree.  RICH--what was in the tube? Hmm. Did I miss something (probably...).  MIKE, the ESB is spectacular (I like the art---just not a big STAR WARS fan) and I really dig the MUPPET poster with, what's that character's name? Animal? Ha! LAWRENCE OF ARABIA is also classic. BRANDON, I dig that clever KNIGHT OF CUPS poster. Never heard of it though. It's good? Your CAROL poster I also really like and SPLASH is fun.

And, just because I goofed up and it didn't show up, here is my No. 3 fave poster again--THE CREATURE WITH THE ATOM BRAIN 3-sheet:


Great posters everyone. Let's see MORE!!!!

CHEERS!

you missed nothing and what was inside wasn't important.
It was just funny finding this tube addressed to this forum's owner Mr T

Some great posters - that Knight of Cups has gone on my wants list.

Here's two of mine:-

Back to the Future one sheet - unused style




Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring one sheet - teaser
This was from the Estate of Christopher Lee - I only wanted the poster but the 32 undoubtedly authentic signatures had to come with it.

You Chaps had a great year. Myself, I never bough much at all but do like this one. It needs a bit of work, but it was the right money.

It's more than a Hobby...

Hmm, some nice pieces there, to be sure.

And for the first time, I feel I can stand along side, head held up.

My favourite (singular) is the French Dr No which I've had framed and popped up.  Already illustrated on the Walls thread so won't spam the place.

Thank you, sir.  It is an exceptional movie.  Highly recommended. 

Outstanding 3 sheet, there, as well as many others here.

cheers




Some great posters - that Knight of Cups has gone on my wants list.


It's pretty cool, and very rare, due to it's surprisingly very limited release.

Those are two great wins, ML, surely among other great acquisitions this year.

I did a quick search and saw the estate of Christopher Lee mentioned a few times, as well as that signed poster.  What a great piece.  Congrats.
