Perhaps this forum could use a general "catch-all" thread for discussion of posters that "strike your fancy" for whatever reason - rarity, coolness, weirdness, whatev - and don't really fit in a more specific category. Doesn't matter if you own it or not. Tell us a story about the poster if you know it. Hopefully it will take off. I'll start off with a few: I will get one of these Animal House rare advance photo posters - just a matter of time. Anybody have one?  Is this "Girl On A Motorcycle" quad poster cool or what? It was renamed "Naked Under Leather" in the US but the image is not as striking as the quad:   I know absolutely nothing about The Venetian Affair or Circus of Horrors and I'll probably never watch them. I just know I gotta have these posters sooner or later:   This "My Left Foot" exemplifies the "art" in movie poster art - a poster to show your snobby art friends:  Am I a freak for liking this poster?  |

Mel, completely agree about the Venetian Affair - has always caught my eye but I don't own a copy. How about these (all of which I don't have but would love to one day)? There are definitely more that I come across, and many for "lesser films" but with fantastic designs!    |

For some reason that Girl on a Motorcycle Quad as always escaped me over the years.
That City that never Sleeps is Excellent Chris. Is The Web a trade ad, as it looks like one?

I would quite like to own this, but it's well out of my price range.  |

Paul, it is my understanding it is actually a UK Quad although I am sure a trade ad could have the exact same artwork... |

Not even sure if this is legit, but it would be amazing if it is! Part of a promotional pressbook for upcoming releases from Universal maybe?  |

It was a trade ad from when universal announced they were going to film Frankenstein. Before James Whale came on board.

And Boris Karloff was the Monster. That's what interests me the most about this ad. Thanks for the info, Paul

Yeah, some of those early previews that the studios used to put out were pretty cool as they usually had films announced with different stars or pictures that weren't made at all like:  |

Big Wednesday quad poster. Coolest surf poster ever - and rare as a red diamond I imagine (pic from originalcinemaposters.com):  |

Grandma was hot! Six sheet from Outlaw (Jane Russell 1942). Pretty astounding they actually used this as a movie poster back then: .jpeg) |

Wow Rich! That's quite a treasure and certainly something that doesn't "suck".
I've see the pics reproduced from it several places but never the book itself. How did you come by a copy?

That is truly an amazing book, Rich.  The MYSTERY OF LIFE art is a hoot. |

So after one hour of tedious Photoshopping, this is what the Bride teaser would have looked like coming out of the printer:  As it looks today:  |
