Why is it worth more than $50?  Nothing out of the ordinary.

It's not that ridiculous based on the 3 sheet result:

Oh you experienced that too?

She can drain you.

Presumably the quality of the movie is driving the demand for the posters, which are not exceptional. The 40x60/one sheet (same image on both) is the best of the lot:

Ya. Many poster collectors actually care about the movies. Go figure.

Well let's just all acknowledge what the best poster in the universe is:

OT : Lee never could've written that message on the FoF brochure at 00:42 as the "G" logo didn't originate until '78.......close but no cigar

Wha? $913?

This is the same artwork as the Style B one sheet - the rarest style but not the greatest design. I thought the one sheet was a $500 poster but I just saw that Heritage's last sale of one was $1500 (inc BP) so Bruce's 6-sheet price is fairly consistent with that.

Where IS Debbie's left leg?

Poor Debbie (although her "c'est la vie" expression looks like she might be OK with it).

Is 'Where Eagles Dare' any good? Haven't gotten to that one yet..

I reread It last year.  I had forgotten how insanely CREEPY and horrifying it is.  I mean, it's a bloated mess of a book, but King sure can build a scene and set a mood.

[erik1925]

I remember reading it before the TV movie was made. King's written descriptions made for a great conjuring of mental images. Uber SCARY!

Supposedly Curry is in a terrible shape now , he had an autograph signing recently and he barely could finish it , it's *that* bad
