This thread isn't OUR favorite purchases of 2015 skyjackers... it's YOURS! 

Here is another one of mine.  Original Tibor Helenyi art for the Hungarian Alien poster. 



I love this one!

It's great to see all these fine additions for 2015. I feel kind of sad though that I don't have anything worth posting. Maybe I'm in the wrong hobby.  :-\

You should never worry about what other people think.  Who cares what people think?  The ONLY thing that matters is if it makes you happy.  So if you bought ANYTHING that made you happy, post it.

My 2 favorites of 2015:

Dark Victory insert. The first poster I got professionally framed as well (thanks Sue!), after like 6 years of collecting. Well worth it.



To Have and Have not half sheet




Congrats on some great finds this year everyone!  And a happy and healthy 2016 as well!

Always cool to see the variety of great acquisitions each year.  cool1

Here are a few of my favorites of the year:

These two movies are a great look at two travels/adventures.






The video release poster for The Big Lebowski:




A rarely seen 30x40 for the classic Scarface:




The best poster IMO for one of my favorite wild fish movies:




The video quad for the epic Killer Klowns from Outer Space:




Really happy to acquire this one, my favorite Star Wars poster, and it's pretty darn cool that it's signed by the original artist.




Last but not least, the two that I'm the most stoked about, for the rad movie that was filmed in my hometown:

2015 was a very unproductive poster buying year (i think I only bought about 10ish) because of life commitments but I found two Hoffman posters and complete Photobusta set that I've been looking for for 5 years and mean a hellava lot to me (even if they were cheap and no-one but me would appreciate them!)







I also bought a Belgium Niagara which I have also been looking for for 5 years. Actually... 2015 sounded like a great year for me!



Other favourites include Blow-Up and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Yeah, agree with Ari...love the variety! I really love seeing the wide range of posters on this forum, it's an eye opener and an education for me.

Here's some stuff I got that made me grin this year.

The Goonies, Japanese B1. Love the film, artist, art and poster...happy to get it in big B1 size



Escape to Victory, Thai 2-sheet. I'm a big football fan and this film is a guilty pleasure.



The Big Blue, International one sheet. I have always loved this design and film, finally picked one up for a decent price



Gangs of New York, Japanese B1. Not the most exciting design, but Bill the Butcher is a great character and has an excellent top hat so this one made me smile.



Mad Max Fury Road UK bus shelters. Not as cool as T's wildings, but this was probably my favourite film of the year so happy to have grabbed them.



The Loved Ones, Australian one sheet. Another image I've long liked but only just picked up.

Thanks Ted. 

There was an estate auction from the artist a while back.  I was stoked to win this Alien art, despite losing out on the original Star Wars designs (which the three films combined went for over $30k!). 

It's got wonderful colors and is pretty good size -- about 20"x 20".

Some amazing pieces in this thread and I echo what others have said about the variety. I figured I'd post a few as I visit here everyday, and should add a small contribution. Apologies as some have been posted before.

This one is probably number 1 for the year for me. Pee Wee didn't get a theatrical release in Japan so this Video release is all I've been able to find. Not in great condition but I take what I can get.



The first is a German Video release. I love how they've redrawn the face of Beetlejuice to make him look even more manic than he already is. The second is an Australian Video banner which I'm quite fond of.



I owe this to an incredibly kind collector in Australia. I'd been trying to find this artwork on a 1-sheet with no luck, but she came through for me and I'm exceptionally grateful.



Finally these 3. I didn't think I'd manage to get a set as I wasn't prepared to pay big money for them. I got them over a course of a few auctions for a fair price so was happy in the end. I'm not sure what they are exactly but I'm quite certain they're not English 1-Sheets that were actually distributed. They may have been printed for internal use. I have a few titles like this, all from Warner's, so I wouldn't be surprised.





Good luck to everyone for 2016!

Just didn't buy much in 2015.  The only 2 I'd feel good about posting were the American Graffiti half sheet and the Alice in Wonderland lobby.  I've already posted pics of both of them.  The Alice lobby was given to my sister as a Christmas gift, as she is a huge fan of anything Alice.

Other than that it was mostly fills of obscure musicals.

Mad Men of Europe (1940) (Arg title: Invasion); Argentinean OS






The Prize (1963); French 1P






The Virgin Queen (1955); Belgian






Scanners (1981); Japanese B2






The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988) Japanese B1






The Cosmic Man (1959); Rolled US insert



 




How Germany Was Defeated (1950's) (translated title) Japanese - 21 x 44 inches
 





The Elephant Man (1980); US OS






Rings On Her Fingers (1942); US OS







The Great Moment (Paramount, 1944); Argentinean OS






Kagemusha (1980) Japanese B2
