^wow. amazing condition!
-
Very nice, Chris. I've always liked that poster for The Hour Before the Dawn poster with the spotlights going across Veronica Lake's face.
-
I think you must now have the biggest Aussie paper outside the country! thumbsup.gif
-
That's the spirit, Chris! Bringing late Aussie summer to Canada! I especially like The Hour Before Dawn, The Big Clock, and Cyd Charisse! I have a very nice paperback for Party Girl if you would like it (PM me your address if you would like it and it's yours). Okie

How was your HA experience? Haven't seen any of the cool stuff you guys bought.
I had a long list (5 posters) and failed to secure any of them. They were folded but all went for too much, which is probably good after the massive hit I took in the markets.
Then this linenbacked poster came along and I went for it out of spite. It says it is in Very Fine + condition, so I'm assuming very little restoration hopefully. I will still be looking for a folded copy.

Great poster T.
I remember being at a house in Miami in early 1993 and a guy opened a package in front of me that his brother in Cuba had gotten to him and out came 8 snow-white, never used 1-sheets on Forbidden Planet. Pretty impressive. I cherry picked one of the copies and traded him a Spider-man #1 for it.
If he still has it, he got the better end of that deal.
-
Well, I managed to get something from HA.
It isn't a film poster but, as I mentioned to T last year, I spent two months living in Villefranche sur mer. May and June. I was working for a company that allowed and even promoted remote working. So I went really remote.
I was looking for a travel poster for Villefranche but the only one I found did not really do it justice.
But, there is a chapel in Villefranche that was decorated internally and externally by the famed artist, Jean Cocteau. And for which, there is a poster.
I only came across it because I also look up under the word Saint. And there it was.

My only purchase at HA this time was this 3-sheet for House of Horrors. It's unfortunately linenbacked, but I decided to buy it anyway since it's really rare in this format, and it's the best paper for this title (I own a folded copy of the one sheet, and it's nowhere near as good a composition as this one). Besides, I make the occasional exception to my "folded copy only" policy when it comes to large paper these days (I still refuse to buy any linenbacked one-sheet).
On that topic, I know I sound like a broken record, but there really were too many linenbacked items this time around. I would have bought more stuff if there had been more folded paper available. I hear you T, it took me a while to find a folded Forbidden Planet OS in excellent condition, but I finally got one at Bonham's last year, so be patient, one will turn up for you.
-
I purchased this Animal House Advance one sheet at the HA auction. I attended the University of Oregon where this was filmed and still live nearby so this is a poster I've desired for a while.

I agree w u 1,000%. Way way too much linen stuff in this sale. The Forbidden Planet was not even on my list. It just happened to be there and I was annoyed after missing a few pieces. From their description, it seemed like it had been untouched by the restorer so I went for it.
I will look for a folded copy. The only problem is that I will end up with 2 posters since I will not sell, like it has happened so many times before.

I made a second place run at the Scarlet Pimpernel 1935 one sheet at Heritage hoping for what I thought might be a good deal. Maybe it will come around a second time one day with luck and patience. Maybe not as it is crazy rare, eh? I did end up getting in Bruce's recent regular auction another Merle Oberon rarity: The Dark Angel one sheet from 1935. Oberon was nominated for Best Actress for The Dark Angel. I really like Merle Oberon and was sure glad to get it! Congrats T, Simes, Eric, and Antoine on some cool posters, too! Okie
-
The fun thing for me is that HA hasn't sent me anything in almost a year. I think they forgot about me ;D
So now I'm going to have them send everything at the same time and it will be like Christmas. I'm getting stuff like Barbarella Italian, Jedi 12sht, Star Wars Concert... I'm excited! I hope they haven't lost anything.

Hi Crow, I was told a story about the Snow White one sheet stack when they were found. Do you recall how many were in that find? Okie
-
That Dark Angel one sheet is gorgeous. Congrats on picking that up!!

Thanks, Starling! I'm looking forward to putting it on the wall for awhile. Okie

I agree, Redman. I'm excited to see it in person. I may leave it au naturel if the water stain seems as light as it appears in pictures. Okie
-
Congrats on your Dark Angel pick-up Okie, I saw it in Bruce's auction and it caught my eye. I almost made a bid for it even though it falls outside of my typical collecting interest (horror/sci-fi/film noir) because it's such a stunning poster.
-
Congrats on the HA and EMP wins, chaps! Lovely posters all round.
May I cheapen the thread up a bit with some modern ones I recently had time to take photos of?
The Neon Demon, US One Sheet. This style seems uncommon, it's a DS poster and it has a really nice glossy finish.

The Scarlet Empress, Japanese B1. This release is from the 90s, I thought it was a really good image of Marlene Dietrich.
(https://i.imgur.com/gBam6sUl.jpg)
Fargo, Japanese B1. I've always liked the simplicity of this design.

Congrats on the Fargo B1. A damn tough poster to find in that size!
-
Hi Tob, Really nice image of Marlene Dietrich and then the cold, deadly Fargo! What did you think of the movie Neon Demon? I haven't seen it. Okie
-
Thanks Matt and Okie. Okie, I liked The Neon Demon. It's perhaps style over substance, but I like it when films are a little bit abstract and surreal. If you like Refn's other films, I'd say give it a try.

Great Fargo. I'm jealous!
I've never seen Neon Demon. RT says: "The Neon Demon is seductively stylish, but Nicolas Winding Refn's assured eye can't quite compensate for an underdeveloped plot and thinly written characters."
Since I have not seen it, I have not collected it. But it seems to be a fav amongst modern paper collectors. Why is that?

Hi Crow, I was told a story about the Snow White one sheet stack when they were found. Do you recall how many were in that find? Okie
No idea what the total number was, can only vouch for the ones I saw personally - but was always told the number was mid-high double digit one.
It certainly seems that title is more plentiful in high grade than the other big 50s sci-fi items.
It was funny as the guy was basically using (the then new) Graven Images book as a catalog of what to have his brother look for and send.
Of course he would look at Uni horror and tell me things like he though there might be Mummy 1-sheets in there (I think those turned out to be Hammer).
He also had a huge stack of lobbies, some of which dated back to the early 40s, but most all had the english titles blacked out and spanish writing on them and he was doing at home cut-outs of the writing (or images) on various cards trying to piece them together and I was begging him to let a professional handle it.
-
I love the Fargo B1 Tob - and I've never been able to find that Neon Demon one sheet which stubbornly remains on my wants list. ND is a pretty sick (old fashioned meaning) movie - one gross scene in particular I can never unsee. I suppose it qualifies as a cult film by now - hence the posters being in demand.

Thanks, Antoine! Yeah, I was leisurely looking through the auction and then "oh, my" there's a surprise golden age stone litho gem! Good times! Okie

I never realized how big 3 sheets are... :P

Yes, Starling, 3 sheets are big and yours is very nice! Is that a Spotlight Displays frame? I like these big posters, though there is an extra commitment for them, eh?! Okie
-
Thanks! Yep, spot on with the spotlight! And it was quite difficult to get it to stay in frame, as I left a little space when I ordered the frame to be sure it would fit (and if I wanted to commit to another 3 sheet, maybe that one would fit too ha). It does draw the eye in my small-ish one bedroom apartment, that is for sure, but I dig it!

Hi Crow, Wow, using Graven Images is a very challenging goal! An adventure in big money and big time, eh?! Amateur cutting for restoration, oh no! A little amateur dentistry may have cured that guy of amateur restoration! Stay safe in ATL! Wait a minute, aren't those zombie TV shows filmed there? Amateur zombie hunting?! Okie
-
That's a big beauty, Starling! Very nice.

Only had a couple his month, here's one of them.

Thank you! Davis and Wyler made 3 masterpieces together, I think you should check them out (Jezebel and The Little Foxes being the other two).
Being a big Davis fan, these are the highlights of her career if you have the time :)
The Letter
Jezebel
All About Eve
What Ever Happened to Baby Jane
Now Voyager
The Little Foxes
Marked Woman
Of Human Bondage
Dark Victory
The Petrified Forest
Luckily, The Letter 3 sheet is in good company!
-
^Nice! - my Jezebel poster is a lot smaller than yours, i have a English trade ad ;D
i've seen all her Wylers (i think). The Little Foxes is one of my all time faves - incredible acting by her
thanks for list, i haven't seen Marked Woman, Of Human Bondage and Dark Victory and will watch them
one of my favourites, because i like thirties comedy, is It's Love I'm After. And I'll watch her 2 with Cagney. And The Little Foxes ;D
-
Lovely 3-sheet for The Letter, a great movie. Speaking of 3-sheet, today I received this House of Horrors from HA's recent Signature sale. Also in the mail today was this Italian 2F for Matango (AKA Attack of the Mushroom People), a somewhat rare format for this title.

Nice choice on the great Rondo in House of Horrors, Antoine! I saw that one, too. Okie
-
Thanks Okie! I already have the OS for that title, but I'd never seen a 3-sheet and I really loved the art when I came across in HA Signature auction, so I decided to go for it even though it's on linen. Glad I did, it looks really awesome in person!

Wow! Just wow! Two amazing posters, Starling. You are a lucky collector. Thanks for sharing :)

What a compliment, coming from someone with the caliber of collection you have! Thank you, sir!

And now to really lower the tone and make people question my membership here - IMAX goodness for the postponed No Time to Die.
As before folks, dedication to the task has exposed some questionable thinking. But of that, we are all aware.

Not really a poster as such, metal embossed service mario from the early 90's only givien out to Nintendo service centers, Almost mint condition and look's even nicer mounted in a nice red shiney custom frame ;D

Love old video game pieces. Have been trying to get a few of the Star Wars ones for a looong time. Those and the comic book three sheet for Hellboy.
This one is not a movie piece either but I thought was a fun piece especially being a fan of Flagg's artwork in general. It is a large 46x60 poster/decal that I believe is used for buses, not sure what to call it. A broadside? Sure someone here will set me straight on it.

Good work getting those. I guess they are probably hard to get hold of now and will be good investment for future as maybe they will do a new poster for the postponed release. Someone else from my cinema got their hands on during the closed down so I won't be adding to my collection. I did get two imax posters for that Le Mans 66 film which are quite good. Will post images of them later.

The International, Coming Soon, version seems quite available from Dale, and sellers in Singapore and Thailand.
The US versions seem to have dried up as quickly as they arrived. Maybe more will surface once lock down is lifted.

The one/s you have - are they international or Uk imax?
-
Coming Soon is International.
The two April ones are US. AMC being an American cinema chain.
As far as I know, IMAX don't do their own posters in the UK. Seems to be a predominantly US thing with Skyfall and SPECTRE small format posters. Now opened up for International and DS 1 Sheets.
