Very nice poster there Jeff. Lots to look at and a big smooch too

A few of my Soubies.  More later.

Gone with the Wind First release.  An identical poster was reprinted a few years later, but this is the first one.  Extremely rare.

T, that 2P for GWTW is just outstanding. Soubie knew how to work with vibrant color, that's for sure.

Me in love!!

I AM SENDING THIS ONE TO ROSA





T

WoW, thanks!!!!!!

Ps: send it to my London address.

Funny Rosa.  As far as I know, it might be the only copy out there.  But you can get the re-release here: http://www.dominiquebesson.com/vintage-movie-poster-4599-gone-with-the-wind.htm

Notice the different signature at the top right and the colors, of course.  Close, but not quite the same.

I do think it is the only known copy out there. Gorgeous. Glad it found you Mr T.

Beautiful, T.

Your WAR OF THE WORLDS looks like it is without fold lines. Was this copy backed? Or due to the lighting/photography?

Beautious, tho, is all i can say about it. 

[eatbrie]

I bought it linenbacked, because it is rare enough and I got it from a very good friend of mine.  It was flawless prior to linenbacking, but he likes to linenbacked his stuff.

I also got the Kiss of Death from him, which is ultra rare, and used his picture, which is a little distorted for some reasons.  Too narrow.  I need to take another picture, but it's sitting underneath 200 posters, so not today.

Very nice..

And no... no pic taking today. The humidity being generated from Hurricane Linda is making things a little thick, right about now.

Those French posters are outstanding.  Really nice collection!

[brude]

Pardon me, but I have an incredible urge to see this one again.
Wow.

Yeah, I know they're not for everyone, especially around these parts, like they're in a foreign language, they're folded, they're old, but to me they're among the best cinema has to offer.  I could get rid of everything else and only collect them.

[erik1925]

Some of us do like foreign, crusty and old.

(And there are shots to help with that problem)...   

[eatbrie]

More goodies...

I love the Kim Novak art ^ but what is up with the entire male cast?

Their eyes are all drawn to her shoulder blades?
 

Think that was a studio decision?

Tho Jim Garner looks to have his eyes better peeled ..

I honestly could care less about anything but the art.  That's what makes the poster for me.  The French and Thai posters also use such garish color and I really love 'em for it.  Eye candy galore.

I'm the complete opposite, Mike.  I cannot enjoy a poster if I haven't seen the movie.  What I mean to say is that I can appreciate the artistry, but I ultimately do not care for it.  Sometimes I see a poster I like and I have to watch the movie before I decide whether I want to buy it or not.  It has happened a number of times.  To me, movie and poster go together and cannot be dissociated.

I'm with you too, (ie, i dont collect for a poster's supposed or assumed value, etc). For me, it's about the poster art, too, if it is for a movie I know and have seen. But I can also very much appreciate posters with amazing art, color and design, such as these above, by Mr Souble, and, if I haven't seen the associated film, the poster likely will make me want to check out that movie and see what it's all about. 

In so many ways, it's a win-win situation.

Yeah I remember you saying this before. I think it's great that all collectors have their approach to the hobby.  It makes it more fun that way.  How boring it would be if we were all the same!  For me, the whole existence of a movie poster is to entice someone to see a film.  So if a poster is alluring, it means it did it's job (regardless if the movie is shit or not).  It amazes me how incredibly f*****g awesome some of the Thai posters I have are that are for movies that are complete dreck.  For that I love the posters even more!

Every country has produced awesome and beautiful posters for films that are total crap-o-la.. lol

The poster, in those cases, might be the best thing about the entire movie!
