Thought I'd post a couple of 'feel good movie' quads to kick things off, they make quite a pair - kind of like night and day.

Regards

Ian

Very nice indeed.

Just caught "The Day The Earth Caught Fire" recently on tv - still entertaining and an interesting idea to use a real newspaper editor for one of the main roles. Always liked Janet Munro (Edward Judd was apparently a pain in the arse in real life - which comes across on film!)

Here are two 1940's Ealing Tommy Trinder movie posters and the classic Brighton Rock with Richard Attenborough as 'Pinkie Brown' from 1947.

Those are very nice, and quite scarce...

A couple of UK 60's classics

Great collection and condition looks very good, especially for those from the 1940s. That "Brighton Rock", in particular, is a beauty.

Here are my favorite Ealing classics, in terms of the artwork.

Those are first rate, Ian. Thanks for sharing..

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! Very nice first posts. I especially like your first post, the NIGHT and DAY quads. (Very clever teaming of the two as well). Keep it up... post MORE! We will enjoy seeing your collection. And, again, welcome!

I love Ealing movies and their posters even more. Hard to find them in the U.S. though.

The wartime ones are pretty rare I think? I don't think I've seen an entire 'Champaign Charlie' before

It's sure fun seeing posters I've never seen before, Ian! Thanks for sharing. Okie

Lovely posters, Ian! Thanks for sharing. Particularly Brighton Rock and Kind Hearts and Coronets.

Love these.

Looking around the forum recently I see many folks seem to like horror/sci-fi and Brigitte Bardot, not necessarily in the same movie

- so thought I'd post some appropriate UK quads from my collection.

I like Bardot, but I'm nowhere close to being done. I won't invade your thread with my pictures, you can see my collection on my website.

I like this La Lumière d'En Face quad. I was going to buy it once but it wasn't in the condition I like my stuff in, so I passed. One day I hope.

I really love Horror UK Quad !

According to my tastes, Some are really sublime compared to their US counterparts (like your "the day the earth caught fire" Quad and the Thames)...
But some, clearly not (Man with the X-Rays Eyes) but maybe is it dayglo?

ealingmovieposters · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2021, 10:32:50 AM »

Anthony,

Yes the man with the x ray eyes really stands (pops) out, I was thinking it could be backlit but I don't have that kind of display. Maybe others could comment on that, I don't know if it is 'day glow'. I have acquired mainly quads as I used to live in the UK (Ealing) in the late 80's as these kind of posters could be had relatively cheaply back then. The 'horror' quads, especially Hammer, have always been at a premium but nothing like the prices today.

Antoine1973 · « **Reply #20 on:** March 17, 2021, 03:05:00 PM »

Yes, your Man with X Ray Eyes quad is day-glo, as that was a common feature on sci-fi/horror posters of that era in the U.K. I share your love of quads, especially the ones from earlier period. And of course the Hammer ones with artwork by Tom Chantrell are particularly cool. I also have that Flesh for Frankenstein quad that you posted, I think that’s a good example of what Anthony was saying re: how they’re often quite different and sometimes better than the US posters.

Sure does Glow, here's mine...

Looking good Paul
