Well, this is not from 22 countries, but 6.  It is 22 posters, though.

And out of your list, I think I have posters from all these countries except South Korea, Hong Kong, Egypt and Columbia.  I have a few from Argentina, Cuba, Lebanon, Israel and Turkey.

Erm, a different kind of nut but if you will permit the attempt...

29 posters from Skyfall across the three designs, but only from two countries, namely the UK and US.

Of the second design, there are 11 posters.  

(I say 'design', clearly there is no design to this poster.  Indeed, a second rate campaign for a questionable movie.  (I do question my motives from time to time!))

You know I'm no fan of Daybills, right?  But if you don't, here it goes --- I'm no fan of Daybills.

31.  I beat myself...  And yes, they are all different....  And yes Jeff, there is a Daybill, but I got it for free from Ves, so it doesn't count ;)

The thought of fighting with photobucket made me lazy, but as an indication of excessive same-iness, I think this illustrates.  I print (horror) the posters for a coffee table album.

I can appreciate the commitment and efforts on this. Very well done. Have you considered expanding your horizons and including other Countries?

I totally get this when you really love a movie, and if I could fall for a recent movie the way Simes fell for Skyfall, I would most surely do the same.  The quest is the fun, I think.  Getting all these pieces assembled, like a puzzle.

I am afraid opening the madness to Other Countries would not help and abet the solution, but just open the door to other headaches...

As for falling for Skyfall, veracity dictates I should say I did Not fall for this movie; rather, I really did not like it at all (the movie or the campaign).  It is just that this fell into the arena of interest, James Bond (books and films), and the issue of Completism is to blame for this madness.

However, I do see a certain charm in unearthing all the variations; even if at the same time I fully understand the rest of the sane world really wouldn't give a damn!

Kinda like Spielberg and me, although I try very hard to stick to international variations and not get domestic ones, because that would be endless.  You have 23 Bond flicks to collect from, most of them old enough to not have printing variations, but SS is responsible for 107 movies since 1971.  If I did collect everything, it's not 1,200 posters I would own on the man, but 5,000 ;)

Yes indeed.  Yours does present the greater conflict, in terms of the control over interests.

Another one.  25 Jaws.  Yeah, I know, they're all Spielberg, but he's the guy I've been collecting most.  Missing are the 2 big ones Bruce recently sold.  I tried on the 2nd one, but stopped the bidding at $9k.  Oh well...  :(
