This maybe in the wrong place, but I'm sure Jeff will sort it...

This months Rospa magazine included a supplement on Road Safety, and in it was a section on...."Vintage Posters".... Only from the British Safety Council, and Rospa.

So I'm now getting to clean out the cupboard of the older ones....

All Double Crowns, unfortunately they only go back to the 80's..... $:-\$

The image of the girl shattering in Slips and Trips is stunning.
Nice posters, Paul!

Cool posters. I find they do get more graphic over time, i guess like cigarette packages - practically need to stick it in people's faces nowadays for the senses to compute. I have several old soviet ones found in a factory in nowhere Russia. Some nice Russian dude sold the lot to me a while back, i'll have to dig them up and show them here sometime.

A film reviewer for The Guardian gave 'Legend' a 2* review...the marketing bods use it in cheeky way on the poster (between the ears of the Krays)

The poster design is sadly not deserving of a 2* however, but interesting shenanigan's, thanks for sharing

The Godfather has some nice posters, but the posters for The Godfather Part II are fairly rubbish. Real shame that. Any other great films that have shockingly underwhelming posters?

Years ago, I signed up with MoviePosterdb.

A few days ago, I received this email from them. Seems the pair of owners are splitting up and going into different directions:

"Hi,

We have some news about MoviePosterDB! Since 2007, the website is run by us together. In the past couple of years, however, our views on how to proceed have unfortunately drifted apart. After long consideration we've therefore decided to split ways and both continue with our own movie poster website.

jayef will relaunch MoviePosterDB in the coming months, whereas Martijn will start CineMaterial.com. Both websites will host all images that were previously uploaded to MoviePosterDB.com, and if you have any credits left they'll remain valid on both websites.

Two of the advantages of CineMaterial are that poster collections can be filtered on type, language and resolution, and that images can be previewed in full resolution before downloading and spending credits. Furthermore, CineMaterial rewards contributors when their uploads are downloaded by someone else: for each 10 downloads, an additional credit is received.

jayef & Martijn"

So I go to Paris for one week, and this is what I come back home to...

When you get stuff every day, it's easy to forget how much you get, but that puts things in perspective

If you get that everyweek and bear in mind that you posted this three years ago, then I assume you must be homeless now! Your home only has room for posters by the looks of it!

Just saw this. I don't remember this picture, but the amount of posters seems right, about 25-30 a week I'd say, sometimes more, sometimes less. I came back from France a few days ago and I had a similar pile waiting for me. But I can tell you that the pile was gone within the hour. At the risk of repeating myself, I only have 3 posters inside my house. The rest is packed away.

Similar to this one, which I love:

I wasnt sure where to post this.. so opted for here.. the ALL poster stuff board.

This is a production still of Christopher Lee, from Dracula AD 1972. This image was used as the basis of many country's ad and poster campaigns, that I wanted to share it here. 'Tis truly a truly great photo, imho.

Thanks for posting Sir Lee. I like that image.

Original concept art by Enzo Nistri, for his 4 foglio poster he did for How To Marry A Millionaire (1953). Apparently, the Rome offices of 20th Century Fox commissioned Nistri to come up with this special design. This piece measures approx 9 x 13 inches.

And from what I have read, the actual 4F poster is also very rare and hard to come by.

Beautiful work there of Ms. Monroe. The Italian 4F must be stunning.

And if you have an extra $5 grand to spare, that original Nistri MM artwork Can Be Yours!

I wasn't sure where to put this, so here seemed OK.

Earlier, I posted the EMP winning bid for a set of LC from the 1951 version of A Christmas Carol. I love this film, and watch it yearly. When looking at the set of LC, something caught my eye. I'm posting a few side by side comparison shots, of the scene where Scrooge and the Ghost of Xmas Present visit the home of Bob Cratchett and his family.

The color image in each comparison is a grab from the actual LC.

In a nutshell... it is interesting that it was decided to use a shot that used either a stand-in or the actor who played the Ghost/Xmas Present, without his beard and moustache as one of the images on the released LC set.

As the bottom side by side shows, there is quite a difference in how he appeared in the film, vs the LC image. And the last b/w image is an actual screen grab from the film itself, not a production still.

Interesting. And as a side note. How good is Sim?
Was pleased recently reading about the apparent tarnishing of his name after his death seems to be a lot of rubbish.

erik1925 · « **Reply #599 on:** January 20, 2016, 02:50:32 AM »

Sim was such a great actor, and he defined this character (like so many others he played). To me, he IS the one and only Ebenezer Scrooge.
