I think the Richardson's are an unfair comparison...they will generally kick any other posters butt that is out there..

Having said that...and now understanding exactly what you all are after in terms of comparisons...more later tonight if I get a chance

I think Craig has slam-dunked this topic - perfect examples of better Australian posters!

Agreed. Those Richardson's are in a class by themselves.
Looking forward to seeing more. (hint, hint...)

I Really like both the insert and Daybill of The Blue Dahlia, better flip a coin $:-\$

Come on, that Blue Dahlia daybill looks like it was drawn by a 10 year old and the US insert is just a crude photo cutout. A better comparison is the Spanish language three sheet and the US one sheet, which are vastly superior to both:

Mel, that isn't a better comparison as you are still not comparing like artwork to like artwork as was intended.
But I will agree that the Austalian daybill for Dahlia is horrible, Lake is unrecognizable and they make Bendix look like a frightened old woman.

Hey, I just joined the International Society to Advance Daybill Acceptance. Discrimating against daybills is just wrong!

Not exactly funny Mel... Poor taste IMO.

Best Empire Strikes Back poster is Australian, no doubt about it.

What's going on with Bendix's neck in that BLUE DAHLIA 3 sheet?
Looks like George Lucas' throat sack in reverse...

Which of course is lifted straight from the Japanese artwork

I stand corrected! Never mind Australian posters, Japanese posters are definitely the best!

oldposterho · « **Reply #43 on:** July 20, 2012, 07:05:41 PM »

I think all of the above points out the futility of trying to figure out who is the best. The closest you'd ever get is on a title by title basis, which, it turns out, is what most of us, the ob/coms anyway, spend our collecting careers trying to do.

What about these two?

Silhouette · « **Reply #45 on:** July 20, 2012, 07:56:58 PM »

I think you need to compare shape with shape for a like with like comparison.

Therefore Blue Dahlia vs Insert is fair and the daybill wins hands down (and is pretty nice anyway). Throwing up a 3sheet which has something like 4-5 times the area for the artwork is not like-with-like really, nor is (to a lesser degree) offering up a 1sh which is about 2.5 times the size a daybill (don't check those measurements, I just roughed it!)

Like for like:

Daybill v Insert

AU1SH v US1Sh

That Empire Strikes back is the epitomy of a slam dunk.

The one glaring graphic error on the AU daybill (for those that know these movies) is the image of the Monster carrying Ilona Massey. That classic photo is from FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN, not HOF.

Both very striking poster's , but you gotta love the Australian Paper.

The Aust. art for TDTESS, is just a less detailed copy of the US artwork. Several areas, especially, show this, IMO. The large hand surrounding the Earth and the face of the babe in Gort's arms, is especially not 'up to snuff."
