U.S. insert posters that were BORN to be insert posters!

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

So I have room for one insert (14x36) poster (or insert frame) on my wall.  Any suggestions?

Ideally, the image design should be perfect for the thin & vertical format - like the Deep book promo (11x44) or Deep "special poster" (14.5x75) - and be different & superior to the art on the other size posters for that movie. It should not be just the regular OS art stuck on an insert.  

P.S. No daybills or other vertical formats for this thread - just good ol' US inserts 14x36.

Goldfinger Alamo?  That is what we decided on when we needed to fill a tall/skinny space.

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

Good idea Harry but I literally have 15.5" x 39" to work with, so Goldfinger (17.5) is too big.  Also, this thread is ideally an opportunity for folks to show off their insert posters.

Um...I have to ask. Why not? Whats wrong with a nice daybill or locandina?

Spatially and thematically, a Jaws insert is the only way to go...

Thanks Archie - that's a great one.

What is your budget?

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

What is your budget?

No particular budget, just looking for cool inserts to rotate in an insert frame.

[Harry Caul]

Well, if you are going to rotate I assume you aren't looking for something super expensive (Some Like it Hot is one of my favorites in this format).  And I tend to avoid inserts that have been minty-whited... although I do LOVE the idea of a Jaws/Jaq combo!

I think 1984 is when they stopped making inserts, but that still leaves some fun titles that can be had for a reasonable price... Once Upon a Time in America, Streets of Fire, Ghostbusters, Swamp Thing, Conan, First Blood, American Werewolf in London, Scanners, The Thing, Escape from New York, Prom Night (great use of the vertical format), The Shining, Blues Brothers, etc...  And of course there are a bunch of Moore Bonds that aren't too expensive.

My favorite is the EXCALIBUR insert.  The Lady of the Lake's hand holding the sword out of the water.

[kovacs01]

Scarface, but you gotta be careful buying that one, for previously stated reasons.  Hang 'Em High also makes a pretty good insert, but its a bitch to find.  The Right Stuff transfers pretty well to the insert format.  Alien is another one that works pretty well, but once again, be careful of the minty whites.

That is definitely one of the finer uses of the insert format...no doubt...great poster, Ari.

I dont really know what the hell this post is about anymore, but I will state 2 things:

1) Inserts suck, buy daybills if you like that general size.

2) The Deep is one the most underrated films and posters of its era!

[MoviePosterBid.com]

inserts don't suck..
quite frequently, inserts of the pre-1950 period have different art than their 1sheet counterpart

I like them best however when the image is a full length pic of one o fthe stars as is the case with an insert I have for the Crusades (DeMille), Pal Joey, or Why Must I Die

I know people who only collect inserts

[Ari]

Yeah I like Inserts a lot, I want to get one for each of the Lewtons (reissues), I have a few already.

Including one like this, which was the first Lewton film I saw as a kid - Id love a 1st release but am happy with this version.

thats a nice insert Ari with a different image. I like the full length image.. it's so good on a narrow poster

[quadbod]

Hi, Folks!

We still have these ancient beauties ...

Quadbod Silent Film Posters

... including this one which IMHO makes perfect use of the format ...



... enjoy!

There's only one thing that was really BORN to be an Insert poster, and it's Feminine. 

[Dread_Pirate_Mel]

The Deep is one the most underrated films and posters of its era!

Lots of great ideas, people!  Keep 'em coming, especially pics.

Yes, the Deep is one of my favorite books/movies.  So many cool aspects - two shipwrecks from different eras on the same spot, exotic location, moray eel biting heads off, Jacqueline Bisset in skimpy bathing suit - what more can you ask?
