“Batman and Robin of the 1960s live action series are back in action to take down their fiendish foes united once more against them.”
Long before Tim Burton re-invented him, Chris Chris Nolan re-imagined him and Ben Affleck played him as an older more mature Caped Crusader there was “BATMAN” 1960’s style, as the decade’s most popular TV show was bat-transported, once again to the big screen in 2016 with this hugely enjoyable animated adventure – “Batman: The Return of the Caped Crusaders” as Adam West (Batman), Burt Ward (Robin) and Julie Newmar (Catwoman) reprise their roles and add their voices to this glorious retro romp. Receiving a ‘one-night only release’ in cinemas on October 17 the poster that accompanied the screening is a marvellous, colourful feast for the eyes with Batman & Robin (rightly so) taking centre stage. Bright vibrant colours and beautiful graphics, this originally rolled (as issued) example is a great looking poster, that because of the very limited release is incredibly scarce. I am a huge Batman fan (all incarnations) and this is one just exudes fun…A rare chance to purchase one of the scarcest Batman posters ever produced and a magnificent item of collectable memorabilia from an icon of modern pop culture.
Trivia: The artwork The Joker steals is of a clown that is an obvious nod to the mask that Cesar Romero in the Batman 1960s series and Heath Ledger wear at the beginning of The Dark Knight (2008).

It is very rare and one of the scarcest John Carpenter movie posters from the 80’s to find. The original UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1986 and displays to excellent effect. Originally rolled (as issued) it is presented in incredible unrestored condition and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic from the Carpenter archives represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of movie memorabilia.
Trivia: John Carpenter and Kurt Russell explain on the audio commentary that the test screening was so overwhelmingly positive, that both of them expected it to be a big hit. However, 20th Century Fox put little into promoting the movie, and it ended up being a box-office bomb. In addition, the film was released in the midst of the hype for Aliens (1986), which was released sixteen days afterwards. However, it went on to be a huge cult hit through home video. Carpenter and Russell explained that the reason the studio did little to promote the film, was because they simply didn’t know how to promote it.

“Look at us. We are the future. You can’t stop us. Don’t even try.”
1980’s exploitation at its very best…Mark Lester’s 1982 offering “Class of 1984” has gone on to become a true cult classic. Based around the ultra-violent students of Lincoln High it is a time capsule snap shot of a totally different generation; Mad Max meets The Sex Pistols is the tone and look and the poster that accompanied the release echoes this. The original UK quad offered here is from 1982 & looks incredible, an almost flawless example of a very hard to find poster. Originally folded (as issued). The artwork is impressive (The artist is unknown which is a shame because this is a great example from the 80’s). The bright colours of the outrageous costumes are deep and unfaded and background a bright unfaded white. It is a great looking poster perfectly attuned to the feel and look of the movie & the times. Very rare and hard to find in such excellent original unrestored condition. This example displays superbly and represents an extremely collectable piece of original 1980’s cinema memorabilia.
Trivia: Mark L. Lester said the film was inspired by several true stories of school violence he had read about in papers. In particular, was a story of a teacher who brought a gun to class to control his students, the scene ended up in the film.

“Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”
Without doubt the most controversial film of its day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”. This original 1972 publicity still from the American release of Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” is quite simply an incredible visual image – original stills are notoriously hard to come by with the majority on offer modern reprints. Showing a close up of the Director-Producer the snipe on the reverse carries the correct reference number (SKB-130) and the following – STANLEY KUBRICK, producer-director of “A Clockwork Orange”, a Warner Bros. release. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, the film was adapted to the screen by Kubrick.” It still remains his most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career. This superb example is presented flat/unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. A superb addition to any collection (for display or investment) and an incredibly scarce piece of film and cultural memorabilia.
Trivia: The film was unavailable for public viewing in the UK from 1973 until 2000, the year after Stanley Kubrick‘s death. British video stores were so inundated with requests for the movie that some took to putting up signs that read: ‘No, we do not have A Clockwork Orange (1971).’

“What Do You Say To A Talking Bomb? All Systems Snafu!!!”
A very striking poster for John Carpenter’s cinematic debut feature “Dark Star” and a fantastic example of the supremely talented film poster artist Tom Chantrell – a master at illustrating anything aeronautical, outer space and especially space ships. And it’s an amazing illustration, if what rather serious; unusual as the movie has a largely comedic tone. This original “Dark Star” movie poster has it all; incredible graphics, great detail & amazing colours. It is very rare and one of the scarcest movie posters from the early 1970’s to find. The original, first release 1974 UK quad movie poster offered here is from the personal collection of the artist himself – Tom Chantrell and is accompanied by a Letter of Authenticity signed by the Curators of his archive; Shirley Chantrell and Mike Bloomfield. Originally rolled (as issued) it is presented in high grade unrestored condition. This genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of sci-fi cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Co-writer Dan O’Bannon later reused the “alien mascot” section of the film as the basis of a script he called ‘Star Beast’. Due to the low budget of “Dark Star,” the ‘alien’ was clearly a beach ball that could only be played for comedy, but O’Bannon felt that with a proper budget, the premise of an alien creature stalking the crew of a spaceship could work as a genuinely tense movie. As luck would have it, directors Alejandro Jodorowsky and Ridley Scott had both seen and liked “Dark Star,” and employed O’Bannon and designer Ron Cobb in projects that would finally lead to O’Bannon’s screenplay being filmed as Alien (1979).

The originally rolled (as issued) film poster offered here displays beautifully and is presented in excellent condition with just very minor handling wear and represents an extremely desirable piece of original British movie memorabilia.

“Six soldiers. Full moon. No chance.”
This original 2002 UK quad film poster for Neil Marshall’s “Dog Soldiers” is impressive; clever imagery by creative arts agency Empire Design as we see a soldier standing alone in the forest – the shadow he casts from a full moon behind him is that of a wolf. Very subtle and understated with unique UK design this is an extremely desirable, poster from a fantastic and well regarded werewolf movie. In original, unrestored condition this rolled (as issued) example displays to superb effect and represents a really nice item of original horror movie memorabilia. “We are now up against live, hostile targets. So, if Little Red Riding Hood should show up with a bazooka and a bad attitude, I expect you to chin the bitch.”
Trivia: The super-glue scene is referenced in Small Favor (Dresden files) a book by Jim Butcher. A female character is disembowelled and talks about super-glue being invented in the Vietnam war in order to stick wounded soldiers back together but then says she saw it in a movie about werewolves.

“Life is one long insane trip. Some people just have better directions.”
Think of a giant deformed rabbit called Frank and Richard Kelly’s psychological horror movie “Donnie Darko” surely springs to mind. A cult hit with a huge and loyal fanbase when originally released in 2001. And it from this first release that the UK quad film poster, designed by KO Creative is from. A distinctive and memorable image of Frank for a poster that is presented in very good rolled (as issued) condition with only some light surface wear. The black background is dark and unfaded with the bright blue tones of Frank appearing to pop from the paper. A rare item of movie memorabilia and a scarce, hard to find movie poster for one of Cinema’s greatest cult films.
Trivia: Patrick Swayze wore his own clothes from the 1980s for the film.

“He is afraid. He is totally alone. He is 3 million light years from home.”
“E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” is the film which Steven Spielberg says epitomises his career. A true classic for all ages. Spielberg chose a regular collaborator in the artist John Alvin to create the marketing poster, and it’s fair to say that he (along with design agency Intralink Film Graphic Design – taking inspiration from Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’ painting which adorns the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel) has produced one of the cinema’s classic, timeless posters, that is immediately recognisable as the finger tips of E.T. & Elliott touch to create that spark of friendship. Certainly the best example we have ever offered for sale and very hard to find in this outstanding rolled (as issued) condition and a marvellous item of truly collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Richard Attenborough later said that he felt bad that his own film, Gandhi (1982), beat this film to the Best Picture Academy Award because he considered his friend Steven Spielberg‘s film more deserving of the award and was convinced before the ceremony that it would win. Attenborough described E.T. as “a quite extraordinary piece of cinema”.
