UK Quads - Any era, any type
« on: January 13, 2019, 11:26:30 AM »
Can't believe there was no thread for UK Quads (other than the horror one) so I thought I would start on. I can imagine this may well be a popular thread as there are so many types of quads (genres decades etc), I was thinking about doing various threads for decades but well, it may well be too much so for now lets do just the one for everything - unless anyone wants thinks different. So will do the first post of quads that I have not posted elsewhere.

Most of my quads tend to be from mids 1970s/1980s onwards and mainly art house or independent films (but not entirely). I think the year of the quad would be interesting to quote (if available). Look forward to seeing this thread grow. Anything welcome to be posted here as long as it's a UK Quad.



UK Quad for Good Morning Babylon (1987 advance quad)



UK Quad poster for The Harder They Come.(likely rerelease from 77-79)



MONTENGRO *(Dusan Makaveyev) UK Quad poster. (1981)



BFI UK Quad for Eyes Without a Face (1995 rerelease)



L'Atalante -uk quad, Victor Vigo (2012 BFI rerelease quad)



UK Quad for Mean Streets (1973 - likely rerelease poster 1970s)



The Last Woman (1976) La dernière femme (original title) UK Quad



UK Quad for Andrzej Wajda's The Young Ladies of Wilko (1979)



City of Women (1980) UK Quad.  Director: Federico Fellini



UK Quad for The Hills Have Eyes (1978)



The American Friend (1977) Der amerikanische Freund (original title) UK quad.  Director: Wim Wenders



UK Quad, Identification of a Woman (1982).  Director: Michelangelo Antonioni



'Merci la vie' (1991) UK Quad.   Director: Bertrand Blier Stars



Golden Balls (1993) UK Quad.  Director: Bigas Luna



The Cat From Outa Space, UK Quad (Disney 1978).



Original UK Quad for Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence (1983)



Original poster for Carnal Knowledge, UK Quad (1971)



Outrageous Fortune (1987) UK Quad. Director: Arthur Hiller



The Moderns (1988) UK quad.  Director: Alan Rudolph



UK quad, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown (1988)  Director: Pedro Almodóvar


That's it for now but I will probably be posting regularly in this thread.

Quads are pretty much as prolific as US OS, (not meaning older vintage quads, of course), so that may also be whey there wasnt one started (as opposed to posters from other countries).

Nice start.... and look forward to seeing more, for sure.  thumbsup.gif

Might be a bit too generic a thread title for it to have any real legs.  Might just as well have said - Poster!

Anyway, probably cross pollination to an otherwise more focused thread notwithstanding, the below.  Not sure how often this one has been seen.

I see you point but probably too late to change it now unless a mod can do it?

Maybe divide it between vintage quads and modern quads.  The problem is that most newer quads just mimic their US counterpart.  And the old ones, at least to me but I could be wrong, are hard to get and more a niche collection.  I don't know if they have a lot of appeal to most, no colors, very simple.  Again, personal appreciation.  I'm much more into French and Italian.  Paul would probably crucify me.  Hahaha!

I best start building that Cross, I can feel a crucifixion coming on...  ;)  ( Plus, may get some of our Quads back out of his collection.. ;D)

I've not posted much in recent times, since the photo bucket incident. It certainly was a nightmare... And spoilt the whole enjoyment of the forum, not being able to post, and losing all the pics I had posted. This was also followed by my computer crashing, and losing about 3000+ photos..  moron1

As for Quads, most pre-50's are a non-existent, due to the war, and paper drives that went on into the 50's, so a lot of our treasures no longer exist. However there are some really nice Quads still out there (even some modern ones). I think every country has it's good and bad posters. 

I'll see if I can get some in here now we have a Quads only section...

Wow Paul, those early ones are nice. Especially the Jane Russell Underwater one. Nice....

I don't have that old, just the odd one.

I got this quite recently which I think is from 1960 (not 100per cent certain). But it's one of the few ones I got older than the 70s. May we should have two seperate threads one for 70s plus and one pre - 70s. What do you think?

Well, those are obviously nice, Paul, but it’s not the norm.  I feel like sometimes quad can look
Like daybills, very simple, few colors.  Not as bad as daybills, you can at least recognize the actors, but not very elaborate.

I think it all depends on time period, and what area you collect. I'd guess 40% of my collection are like these, the rest are poor, or modern, but part of the love of Quads is how scarce they are, not many printed anyway, and the further you go back in time, not many if any have survived, and I like that too...   I have a fair few that so far are only known copies, may not be the best artwork, but as you know, I'm more into the films than art, so works well for me.

Thanks!  Yes, my quads are all from the original release of these films, except maybe the Beast from Haunted Cave/Wasp Woman double bill which might be for a slightly later release in the early 1960s (Wasp Woman was also paired on another double bill quad with The Fly, and I'm not sure which of those 2 is considered the original release for that film in the UK).

Just got this quad for Lucio Fulci's House by the Cemetery (1981), been trying to get my hands on it for a while as it's rather rare.
