The one I found on eBay was in fairly rough shape, but it looks nice now after Dario worked his magic:

Those are cool, Jeff.
The "do you know me?" line on the Critters poster is interesting. Do you know if that was in the movie or just the poster?

Hey Rosa, I'm getting married next week and this seller refuses to send me this poster... Says he doesn't ship to the US.

Actually that seller has a really nice selection of posters including my all time favorite version of Adventures of Robin Hood. A bit over priced considering it has roughly forty feet of tape on the back but what are you going do?

I have been for a while trying to put together a set of the full size one sheet Empire Strikes Back Advances. There are three that I am aware of that are full one sheets US, Spain and Italy. I located a decent Italian copy but the owner would not ship to the US. I naturally reached out to one of this sites more wonderful members in my opinion, Rosa, for assistance getting it here. She put up with the seller and her natural worry that it would survive the trip and helped me out big time, she even paid for the poster in advance for me. I am thinking great, now just need to find the Spanish and I am done, no clue anything is up. Time goes buy and the poster finally arrives. I reach out to Rosa and let he know it survived in good shape and asked her what I owe her for everything, keep in mind she has been ducking my asking what I owe for weeks which drives me nuts because I hate owing people money. Her response, she tells me nothing and says it is an early WEDDING GIFT!!! I naturally am stunned with both the lengths she went to to get the poster to me but then to find out she has sent it as a GIFT!

I picked up a daybill from Ari(stuck in customs?),
Yeah, it hasn't moved in several days. No worries, it will get here sooner or later!
according to the tracking..
Thu 03 Sep 2015 21:28
Arrived at facility in destination country
NEW YORK (US)
Probably trying to run over it or something (joke)
haha I say it is my luck. Every time I fly my luggage gets searched. Every time I get an international package customs opens it.
or the cocaine and explosives I included as a freebie.
I would say I have been after this one for a while, but some of you folks chase stuff for years. I barley have a year collecting. Large Polish E.T. rolled is a welcomed addition to my E.T. pile.

Thank you and thank you again Rosa!
When Wes Craven passed she posted a comment to a pic of the awesome British quad for the movie and instead of saying my fiance, we or similar she simply stated... I have that poster! What's that tell you?
It has been a pretty good month for me. I have picked up a lot of stuff. Here are a few highlights. I wanted to wait until I received them, so I will only share a few. I will share some low quality camera phone pics later if you like.....anyhow they are all rolled/unfolded unless noted as folded.

Easily my favorite story of the year.
If Rosa lived on this side of the pond (or I there), I'd be all over her like ugly on an ape.

Nothing exciting but as one of Monty Python's biggest fans I've always wanted to have all three Quads of the Python films. I already had Holy Grail but I picked up Life of Brian and The Meaning of Life really dirt cheap this week and I haven't stopped smiling since! Can't wait to one day frame them together.

Thanks, guys. It was the fact that it is Japanese yet has Nazi imagery, that caught my eye, initially.
And, no I havent tried a full search via his name, Ted (though i did check on imdb, a few weeks ago and didnt find his name there).
GREAT idea, tho! I will give it a go.
More to come, if I can track him down.

That's quite a poster, Jeff.
Did you try tracking its origin via the film supervisor's name?
cheers
Hehehe... you know i luv u 2 bits but..... leave the Bogarts to me :-*
I had this arrive recently. A Japanese poster, that originally came in 2 sections, and measures 21x44 inches (the lower section measures 14.75 x 21 inches), so it seems a more oddball size poster.
With the help of the seller, he was able to interpret the title of this (what looks to be a documentary-propaganda kind of film). He said the title (large, red) says: Germany Was Defeated in This Way
The smaller writing on the left top side is the name of the Japanese supervisor who handled the JP version of this film.
The writing on the right side, in blue, says: "Look! This film is controversial work of Wehrmacht which inveigled our Japanese army into the World War II. Its running had been stopped due to the cruelty shown, but finally is to be opened to the public now."
I do not know the year of this piece, but Im guessing the late 1950s? I am still trying to determine who the distributor was, as the company logo is on the lower right corner. Aside from the image of Hitler, and the Japanese soldier in the upper right, are images of Pearl Harbor, US soldiers and Red Cross men. and soldiers storming a beach. I also really like that the entire piece is created art, rather than any photo images.
Thanks to Armin, too, for some info and insight into this piece, also. thumbup He said it could have been created for theaters in more outlying areas, away from major cities.

Hi Jeff, yes interesting pickup, well done! I tried to also find info on the poster but not much luck. I started with the distributor logo you mention. the 映 text in the Jewish looking symbol seems to translate to "film". Not much else to report at this stage! Image search of the poster seemed fruitless.

Recently, I won two of Big Mike's Italianos at emovieposter.
While I wanted his KONG, I had to settle for posters in my price range and these two personal favorites fit the bill quite nicely.
Coincidentally, they are both illustrated by Sandro Cecchini.

I really like this, too, Chris. thumbsup.gif
And I have yet to see this movie. I know it's a heavy.. and is supposed to be excellent.
Very nice, Rosa. cool1
Nice one Rosa, My favourite Wayne film too.
Look at you go, Rosa! Branching out. How fun to get an authentic script (instead of just an over-copied photocopy). Brilliant idea for your collection.
Great stuff all round.
As way of coincidence I got this on the day Wes Craven sadly passed away. I much prefer the original but will never be able to afford one so this will have to do. It's not what I normally collect, but having a soft spot for these films I have a few quads and video posters already so happy to add this one!

Any art of Jennifer works...
That script is a sweet acquisition, Rosa. Congrats.Thank you Ted, glad you like it. I got it thanks to WONDERFUL MATIAS he knows... he knows... .. :-*
But what really caught my eye was your Quiet Man poster.
I haven't seen that design before.
Really special paper for a great film.
cheers
And there is that mystery, Omega/W mark again, too, Matias. dontknow.gif
Pay and hold for the winz thumbsup.gif
Congrats on that pickup, Mike.
What is cool and unique about the Thai poster, is that this art was redrawn. Seems like the majority of other countries all used Struzan's art. I've always wondered if that was a contractual "rule" demanded by the studio and distributor?
In any case, your poster is awesome. The colors just POP!
thumbsup.gif
Indeed that Marty isn't the one we know and love ;)
Seeing his original work up close is quite amazing.
Try not to drool a lot over it Paul...WoW Paul, that original artwork is quite a treat. And from Chantrell !!
And congrats.Original artwork rules!

Zowie! I don't even look at this post for a mere 24 hours or so and when I do, I expect to find nothing new---that you are all a bunch of slackers. Instead, yowza! I find a plethora of paper perfection!
Golly Paul---original concept art? Wow! What a concept! GREAT idea and great piece. But that has me asking the question, where doth all of the original poster art go-eth? How cool would it be to own some? Wow!
Gargoyle67--zoinkers! Nice spread. I have a lot of those but looking at your posters reminds me of WHY I bought them. The RAIDERS re-release is so kick ass (way better than the original release). I've always been partial to the cool-i-o FLASH GORDON one sheet. I even really love the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA poster that screams out it is in SENSURROUND (one of only 4 movies that ever was).
MWright, what can I say? You've broken me. Because of you, the very next chance I have so spending money (which admittedly may be months way), I am going to lose my Thai virginity, dammit. Those posters are gorgeous!
Jeff--Damn you! I (and apparently the rest of the world) have been after an ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK one sheet forever. And you sashay on in here with not only the one sheet, but the advance as well. Have you no shame? (Bravo, by the way...)
Good job all the way around.
CHEERS!
Nice batch there, Chris!
Looking mighty fine.
And yeah.. that Czech poster is great! Its so different and I love the color combo, too.
clap clap
Thank you Jeff!!! The Czech contrast does make it pop doesn't it?!? Have you seen the Polish Dundee?
BTW I ment to mention this already but Great stuff recently for you too. Escape from New York double play for the win!!!
cheers
Thank you, too, Chris!
And, no, I havent seen the POL Dundee. I will try and find an image because you have me curious now. cheers
There is a picture of it on my site, Jeff.

Gargoyle, your new acquisition posts should be the centerpiece of a Public Service Announcement about the folly of falling prey to the movie poster collecting mania.
This is another really nice selection of posters.

Nice, T!
Is that 20.00 per poster? Or for the group?
I wasn't going to post these, but they're pretty imaginative, at least as far as modern posters go, and they only cost me $20 (tip to my wilding guy.)
All 48x70in.

Yeah you should have gone with your first instincts and not posted them
I went to see Minions with my daughter and dozed off, but I really like those wildings...they're good fun! And a bargain too. I want a wilding contact who sells me nice posters for peanuts! :D
Here are 3 recent ones I got

Yeah, you may have a point. Unless someone out there has as much bad taste in posters as I do, in which case it was worth my 3 minutes.

They're cute.
And for $20 they are even cuter.
Acute description indeed .. Chris (CSM) is going to have to agree to that :D
So kudos to Chris for saying what he thinks.
He thinks? I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't mention it. ;D
Hahaha.
You've seen his avatar, right?
Its all in the furrowed uni-brow.
Either that or he's constipated...

I actually think it's great when someone says he doesn't like something. I know people don't like to hear negative comments about what they collect, but I believe everyone is entitle to his/her opinion and I, for one, welcome it. So kudos to Chris for saying what he thinks.
T
We all like and have different tastes

Bad taste goes a long way in this world

T
And yes. Agree. We all have a # taste. Personally I rather say nothing about the poster if I dont like it because I see no need to. None of my business what people buy and collect. I have however voiced my views in the past about certain posters that seem to celebrate violence against women which yes, I do find both offensive and distasteful. But that is separate issue altogether.
I am quiet when i see peoples crappy posters as well but people are quite rude about my beloved Mex Lobby Cards
At the end of the day, they're just posters, who cares if someone doesn't like yours.
T
If I don't like something (or don't care for something,) I'm like Rosa, I don't say anything. I tried to voice my opinion in the past and found myself in the middle of a storm. So we applaud if we like something and stay mute if we don't... except for Chris, of course. It's funny, though. If you're in a museum and see something you don't like, you say it. But for some reason, collectors get very touchy about what they collect, like if they were personally being criticized. I'd like to voice my opinion more often, but I'd also like the collector to know that it has nothing to do with them. It is an opinion, and like my Grandmother used to say, opinions are like assholes, everybody has one and most of them stink. At the end of the day, they're just posters, who cares if someone doesn't like yours.

Zowie! I don't even look at this post for a mere 24 hours or so and when I do, I expect to find nothing new---that you are all a bunch of slackers. Instead, yowza! I find a plethora of paper perfection!
Golly Paul---original concept art? Wow! What a concept! GREAT idea and great piece. But that has me asking the question, where doth all of the original poster art go-eth? How cool would it be to own some? Wow!
Gargoyle67--zoinkers! Nice spread. I have a lot of those but looking at your posters reminds me of WHY I bought them. The RAIDERS re-release is so kick ass (way better than the original release). I've always been partial to the cool-i-o FLASH GORDON one sheet. I even really love the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA poster that screams out it is in SENSURROUND (one of only 4 movies that ever was).
MWright, what can I say? You've broken me. Because of you, the very next chance I have so spending money (which admittedly may be months way), I am going to lose my Thai virginity, dammit. Those posters are gorgeous!
Jeff--Damn you! I (and apparently the rest of the world) have been after an ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK one sheet forever. And you sashay on in here with not only the one sheet, but the advance as well. Have you no shame? (Bravo, by the way...)
Good job all the way around.
CHEERS!
Hey MAGG...
You can get one here: http://www.mauvais-genres.com/en/archives/3358-escape-from-new-york-john-carpenter-original-us-1sh-movie-poster-81-kurt-russel.html :o
Hardee Har Har, jeff. Like I can afford anything right now. I'll get one eventually. Bit thanks..
Here here!
I say old chap, don't you mean 'hear hear!' ?
Faustina (1957), first release Mexican OS.
The film is a Spanish production (a comedy), with Maria Felix, Fernando Rey and Juan de Landa, who plays Mephistopheles.
The devil and butterfly art on the poster almost remind me of Pablo Picasso's style, in some ways.
Being the first Mexican poster I acquired, the paper has an interesting texture too; it feels much more like heavier newsprint and different than any other country's paper I have been able to handle.

A few recent acquisitions...
^ + 1. That ]Joan Crawford poster is beautiful, and captures her persona really well.BUT there is something about the Dark Passage poster that really, really, really speaks to me. :P
BUT there is something about the Dark Passage poster that really, really, really speaks to me. :P
All T's posters speak to me as they all have sexy women in them. Good pickings there T.
I also like that you give mention of artists.
Let me guess - your favorite color is orange? ;D
It's very important to me. If you check my collection online, you will see that I always try to put the name of the artist when/if I can find it, especially for French, Italian and Eastern European posters.
T
My fave, i think, is the GIRL ON A MOTORCYCLE. Delon and Faithful are really captured in the moment. Nice.
I am slowly, very slowly warming up to Belgians. A year ago, I had 2, now I have 80. I started naturally by trying to complete some of my collections until I eventually branched out and started collecting other things like The Girl on a Motorcycle. I'm not completely there yet, but almost.
T
I guess that's definitely possible, as I agree that the eye looks more photographic than the rest.
If nothing else, a possible reference image Tongdee may have used:

I've dreamed of owning this poster for a long time, ever since I saw it on APF several years ago in fact.
WHERE do you find this stuff, Jeff? You're always digging up some obscure nugget.
As for the poster...as I said earlier elsewhere, I am now totally sold on Thai posters---They are just stunning, for the most part! Sad to see that many of the newer posters seem to be following the bland new trend of using Photoshop. UGH! But those older than 15 years or so have some amazing art. This APOCALYPSE NOW poster is just gorgeous! WOW!
Nice one Jeff, Matias will be getting a sweat on with all these Argies you keep buying... ;)
Lotsa nice stuff.
It's getting harder for me to add to the US paper on Harryhausen films crying, so......come on foreign stuff ;D

I should have picked that 2-sheet up awhile back when I had the chance. Kicking myself for it now. The artwork is exceptional.
Better late than never. One that I picked up a couple yrs ago and realized I never posted to the board. Doh.gif

ladeda, I'd actually like to see the French and German versions that Walbrook made before the US version (Michel Strogoff in 1935 (French) and Der Kurier des Zaren 1936-German), where he played the same character.
Have you ever come across, or seen, either of these earlier film adaptations?
And amazing that he was asked to play the same role, 3 times, for 3 different country's version of the film.
Itoka Le Monstre Des Galaxies (1967), (AKA Uchu Daikaiju Girara, AKA The X From Outer Space)
I love the color on this one.

I've seen Der Kurier des Zaren. It's pretty routine but it is interesting to see the Reich's attempt of a bombastic Hollywood-esque adventure.
Walbrook was such a unique performer. Always dashing, always a mystery.
I was surprised myself when he turned up with it, it's right nice too up close..
Jeff, the Krampus may go up this Christmas... :D
That Scissorshands looks fantastic. And with dinosaurs!!

I've dreamed of owning this poster for a long time, ever since I saw it on APF several years ago in fact. I finally tracked an original 2-sheet down and added it to my site (http://www.filmonpaper.com/posters/apocalypse-now-thailand/) today. I've included 70 photos so you can really get a look at all the details of Tongdee's phenomenal artwork. I used Photoshop to try and match the two sides together for the main photo but it's not the easiest. In a recent issue of Dark Side magazine there was a picture of the artist alongside Neil Pettigrew, a UK collector of Thai posters who some of you may know. It shows that Tongdee originally painted the poster on two canvases so this means joining the two sides together perfectly was always going to be impossible!
This is one of those pieces of art that I find new detail in every time I look at it and love Tongdee's use of colour.

It's amazing that this poster was sooooooo hard to find a couple years ago and now everyone has one.

Well the printer I get them knocked up at is very busy, but I'll have the next batch by Friday, so everyone will have one then... ;D
I have had my APOCALYPSE 2-sheet for about 3 years, I also bought mine from Phea. Its only recent that I had a chance to frame it and put it on the net. There are not many of those around I don't believe.
And then it also begs the question, like we have often asked of posters from other countries. How many total copies of this 2 panel APOC NOW poster were done in Thailand? Probably will never know that answer, but as Mike (mwright) and others have commented- because of Thailand's climate, rainy weather, and high humidity, that have been the death to so many posters there, in general -- AND if this poster was produced in much lesser numbers, due to cost and it being the 2P style, could that all also add it it being on the more scarce list?
Certainly a mystery..what we need is to send in someone on a secret mission, a mission that doesn't even exist, deep into the jungles of thailand...the horror...the horror...
I am leaning towards rare or few survived the trash pile, and those who do have these gems are not currently selling them.
Just got a package from Japan. Pee Wee and Beetlejuice have condition issues but there is no Japanese theatrical paper for Pee Wee so I'm happy to have it. I think Beetlejuice is theatrical but I'm not 100% sure. I have a few B2 video posters for Edward Scissorhands but this is my first B1 video so all in all I'm pretty happy.

You are correct, and. It's not just surviving the trash pile, it's the humidity and constant flooding that took out many collections of Thai posters over the years.
