Castro Theatre in San Francisco has been producing some excellent posters, usually 18x24 or 19x25, and many of them are superior to Alamo's offerings.  Alien Corset sells some of them.  David O'Daniel did these:

La Dolce Vita is the best of that bunch I think.  O'Daniel's style works well with the tone of that film.  The others.......ehhh

Not a big fan of their stuff, too dark, but it does work for Jaws.  I wonder if the print is crisper in person.  Anyhow, I like the design so I picked it up.  The rest is not for me.

Thanks Dave,

I thought the Jaws was awesome even though he seems to like that silhouette ..

Did you get La Dolce Vita?

Is it as dark as the picture looks?

Yes I have La Dolce Vita and it is not near as dark as the jpegs .. Its been said many times before but is really true with these prints .. the online pictures never do the prints justice.

If you are on the fence about buying get them now .. the email just went out to the mailing list so I suspect a lot of them may be selling out soon.
