  • The-Hateful-Eight-Movie-Poster

    The Hateful Eight

    £225.00

    “No One Comes Up Here Without a Damn Good Reason…No one to trust. Everyone to hate.”

    Quentin Tarantino’s 8th Film…“The Hateful Eight” is a bloody, brutal, who dun-it epic. Released in 2015 it proved a huge commercial & critical success and in keeping with previous Tarantino movie merchandising offerings the film posters have became very collectible. Designed by creative arts agency BLT Communications, LLC this advance teaser UK quad immediately catches the attention with its beautiful graphics and sweeping widescreen vista which is perfectly suited to the horizontal landscape style of the British quad. Presented in excellent unrestored rolled (as issued) condition this exceptional example displays superbly and as Tarantino has such a huge fanbase very sought after. As Quentin Tarantino films are aimed for that more mature 18+ audience the merchandising budget isn’t what you would expect from a general release feature and as such nearly all the posters & promotional items  produced are in much lower numbers…making this type of movie memorabilia extremely scarce.

    Trivia: Director Quentin Tarantino said that some of Ennio Morricone‘s musical compositions for the film are the unused scores for John Carpenter’s The Thing.

  • The Irishman Movie Poster

    The Irishman

    £175.00

    “If they can whack a President, they can whack a president of a union. You know it and I know it.”

    This is certainly one of the most compelling and despite its three hour plus runtime, most watchable films Martin Scorsese has directed. It is an epic  motion picture that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. The ‘cast’ style UK quad film poster by Concept Arts that accompanied this 2019 release of “The Irishman” was equally as striking as it features three of the greatest actors of any generation – Robert De Niro, Al Pacino & Joe Pesci. The originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example offered here has minimal handling and displays & presents to excellent effect with dark unfaded background and outstanding character imagery. Very scarce with a incredibly low print run, as it was essentially a Netflix streaming service movie which received a limited cinematic release so it would qualify as a contender for Academy Award recognition and was only shown in a handful of independent cinemas with no general release. A must have title for the serious collector or fan.

    Trivia: “I heard you paint houses” were the first words Jimmy Hoffa ever spoke to Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran. On The Tonight Show, Robert De Niro remarked that the term, along with “I also do my own carpentry work,” refer to both the hit and the clean-up.

  • The Iron Giant Movie Poster

    The Iron Giant

    £145.00

    “Some Secrets Are Too Huge To Hide”

    Beautiful film poster for the 2016 ‘Signature’ release of Brad Bird’s giant alien robot animated adventure “The Iron Giant”. This really is stunning, retro styling and beautiful muted grey and blue colour tones. Incredibly scarce the ‘Signature’ re-release was only shown in a strictly limited number of cinemas for a short time. Originally rolled (as issued) it presents and displays to excellent effect that represents a great looking, cleverly imagined item of original movie memorabilia art…“For the child in all of us ?”

    Trivia: The Iron Giant and Groot in Guardians of the Galaxy are both voiced by Vin Diesel and, in both times, the sound technician that worked on it was Doc Kane. Both characters end up sacrificing themselves, but are ultimately resurrected.

  • Italian Job, The (1999 RR)

    The Italian Job

    £425.00

    “This is the self preservation society”

    A personal favourite that’s “bloody” hard to come by…A rolled country of origin (British) quad film poster from the 30th Anniversary 1999 re-release for the classic Michael Caine crime caper “The Italian Job”. Design agency Kennedy Monk have produced a modern classic for what is possibly the greatest British crime caper film of all time. This is impressive with a capital “I” deep colours and presented in exceptional original rolled condition…Unquestionably the Film is a cultural masterpiece that has become legendary…a true British institution…An incredibly rare piece of film and “British” memorabilia that perfectly captures that moment in time…“They say he’s going to do a job in Italy…Well, I hope he likes spaghetti. They serve it four times a day in the Italian prisons”

    Trivia: BMC (British Motor Corporation), the owners of the Mini, refused to donate any cars to the film. The boss of Fiat Motors, offered to donate all the cars they needed, including Fiat 500s in place of the Minis. The director, however, decided that, as it was a very British film, it should be British Minis. Fiat’s boss still donated scores of cars for filming, as well as the factory grounds, and even though the authorities refused to close the roads, the Italian Mafia stepped in, and shut whole sections of Turin down for filming, so the traffic jams in the film are real, as are people’s actions during it.

  • The Jungle Book Video Movie Poster

    The Jungle Book

    £125.00

    “Meet Mowgli, the man cub. Baloo thinks he’ll make a darn good bear. Shere Khan thinks he’ll make a darn good meal”

    Walt Disney’s animated take on the “Mowgli Stories” of Rudyard Kipling “The Jungle Book”. Re-released many times after its 1967 premiere but it is the artwork from the posters produced since that are probably the best, and that’s certainly true of this 1993 video poster. Offered here is an original British one-sheet poster from 1993 – this was the first time this Disney classic was made available on a video release and to celebrate a totally new design was created. A magnificent, visual masterpiece of a poster as all the key characters make the perfect transfer from screen to paper. Beautiful design and artwork, bright bold colours that because of the high gloss finish, absolutely pop from the paper. Stunning animated action imagery featuring Mowgli, Baloo, Bagheera, King Louie, Shere Khan, Kaa make for an impressive poster on every level. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored film poster presents superbly and is a fine example of rare and collectable original Disney memorabilia for a much loved classic. Undoubtedly one the best looking posters produced for a movie that is an integral part of modern pop culture.

    Trivia: The Vultures were originally going to be voiced by The Beatles. The band’s manager, Brian Epstein, approached the Disney studios about having The Beatles appear in the film, and Disney had his animators create the Vultures specifically to be voiced by the band. But when Epstein took the idea to the Beatles, John Lennon vetoed the idea, and told Epstein to tell Disney he should hire Elvis Presley  instead. The look of The Vultures, with their mop-top haircuts and Liverpool voices, are a homage to The Beatles; one bird’s voice and features are clearly based on George Harrison‘s. That’s What Friends Are For was originally to be done as a rock and roll song. When the Beatles departed the project, the song was rewritten as a barbershop quartet, to make it timeless.

  • The-Last-Victory-Movie-Poster

    The Last Victory

    £60.00

    “The curious title refers to the last time the district of Civetta won the Palio in 1979. Il Palio is distinctive because the jockeys do not represent the 17 districts of the Siennese region – the horses do. This film trains its eye on the Civetta community, desperate for a win in the race after a drought of over 20 years”

    John Appel’s excellent and entertaining docu-drama based upon the annual horserace called the ‘Palio’ held in the city’s center piazza (Piazza del Campo) in Siena, Italy. A very limited cinema release in ‘art-house’ & ‘independent’ theatres meant the posters for this enjoyable film are in extremely short supply, which is a shame as the design and production quality is of a very high standard. The imagery (and it’s not often I speak positively about a single image photographic film poster) is excellent, very colourful with genuine warmth and passion; the spirit of the ‘palio’ is truly embodied in it. The original UK quad film poster offered here is from first year of release 2004 and as it was originally rolled (as issued) it looks and presents to very good effect…A very rare find, this scarce, exceptional looking piece represents very collectable & desirable movie memorabilia.

  • The Long Good Friday Movie Poster

    The Long Good Friday

    £125.00

    “Nothing unusual,” he says! Eric’s been blown to smithereens, Colin’s been carved up, and I’ve got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?”

    A critical and commercial success and perhaps the best British movie (gangster or otherwise) ever made…John MacKenzie’s “The Long Good Friday”. Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, making this original 1980 UK quad film poster a rare find especially in such high grade condition. Featuring stark black & white country unique design & artwork, this excellent unrestored example presents near perfectly. Rolled (as issued) it represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”

  • The Long Good Friday Movie Poster

    The Long Good Friday

    £695.00

    “Nothing unusual,” he says! Eric’s been blown to smithereens, Colin’s been carved up, and I’ve got a bomb in me casino, and you say nothing unusual?”

    A critical and commercial success and perhaps the best British movie (gangster or otherwise) ever made…John MacKenzie’s “The Long Good Friday”. Receiving a very limited release in UK cinemas (it was nearly never released due to financial problems & only saved as a cinematic production by George Harrison, with his Handmade Films stepping in at the 11th hour) meant that any paper is scarce, with the British one sheet featuring Ron Fenton’s artwork, the scarcest of them all (this is the only time I have offered one for sale) making this original 1980 British, country of origin one sheet, a rare find especially in such high grade condition. Fenton’s exciting action montage for this classic British gangster film features an exploding rolls Royce, an exploding casino, mobsters being hung upside down on meathooks in an abattoir and some incredible character portraits – Bob Hoskins in arguably his best film role, alongside Helen Mirren, Eddie Constantine and P.H. Moriarty (as the psychotic hardman Razors). This excellent example is presented rolled (as issued) and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia from a true British gangster classic…“The Mafia? I’ve shit ’em”

    Trivia: The actors being held upside-down on meathooks in the abattoir had to be supported between takes, to prevent them passing out.

  • The Maltese Falcon Movie Poster

    The Maltese Falcon

    £225.00

    “…what’s this bird, this Falcon, that everybody’s all steamed up about?”

    The Maltese Falcon is a timeless classic and top of every film fans watchlist to see, technically brilliant for just about every aspect of filmmaking and just a marvellous viewing pleasure. As a general rule BFI re-release posters are incredibly scarce due to limited print runs and distribution, being shown in literally a handful of independent and ‘art-house’ cinemas. The updated imagery, for this 80th Anniversary release features a great black and white image of Bogart in the silhouette of the titular ‘Falcon’, both off set against a deep dark red background. The rolled (as issued) UK quad offered here is from the 2021 and displays to excellent effect with deep colour tones and minimal handling wear. A striking film poster and a great looking piece of ‘modern’ golden era Hollywood cinema memorabilia for a true classic movie.

    Trivia: The “Maltese Falcon” itself is said to have been inspired by the “Kniphausen Hawk,” a ceremonial pouring vessel made in 1697 for George William von Kniphausen, Count of the Holy Roman Empire. It is modeled after a hawk perched on a rock and is encrusted with red garnets, amethysts, emeralds and blue sapphires. The vessel, as of 2012, is owned by the Duke of Devonshire (Peregrine Cavendish) and is part of the Chatsworth collection.

  • The Quatermass Xperiment Movie Poster

    The Quatermass Xperiment

    £195.00

    “It’s coming for YOU from Space to wipe all living things from the face of the Earth! CAN IT BE STOPPED?”

    Blending horror and science fiction in the way that only Hammer can, “The Quatermass Xperiment” delivers a haunting vision of the terrifying consequences of unchecked exploration. In this tense, suspenseful tale of scientific ambition gone awry, a space expedition takes a nightmarish turn when an astronaut crash-lands on Earth—only to begin mutating into something horrifyingly inhuman. As his transformation accelerates, his struggle to contain violent urges proves increasingly futile. Scientists and authorities race to understand the catastrophe unfolding before them, in a desperate attempt to prevent a monstrous disaster. Created by the legendary Nigel Kneale and directed by the great Val Guest, “The Quatermass Xperiment”  is available for the first time ever in 4K UHD and the  poster offered here is from the 4K release in 2024. Released by Hammer for a very limited cinematic run that coincided with the newly remastered Blu Ray, this extremely rare UK quad is from the cinema release and not one of the 10 offered as an incentive on Hammer’s website. It really is an incredible poster with some outstanding horror artwork by Graham Humphreys. It presents to excellent effect and is a must have Hammer Horror collectable.

    Trivia: The decision to drop the “e” from the title The Quatermass Xperiment was a deliberate and strategic choice by Hammer Films. When the film was released in 1955, the British Board of Film Censors had recently introduced the ‘X’ certificate, restricting admission to those aged 16 and over. Hammer sought to highlight the film’s mature themes and unsettling content by integrating the letter ‘X’ directly into the title. This subtle yet effective alteration served not only as a marketing tool but also as a signal to audiences that this was a bold and provocative work—one that pushed the boundaries of what was typically shown in British science fiction cinema at the time.

  • The Shape of Water Movie Poster

    The Shape of Water

    £75.00

    “A Fairy Tale for Troubled Times”

    One of the best looking modern’ film posters produced in a long time…Award winning British UK quad film poster for Guillermo Del Toro’s multi award winning (& nominated) dark sci-fi fantasy movie “The Shape of Water”. With beautiful painted artwork by design agency ‘Midnight Oil’ this design is perfectly suited to the landscape format of the British quad. A whole range of green and blue colour tones is used with the background incredibly detailed and made up the ‘Creature’s’  scales; this is very subtle and only evident on close inspection. This originally rolled (as issued) example displays and presents to excellent effect with stunning graphics and represents a truly impressive piece of collectable original film movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: The creature design is heavily inspired by the film Creature from the Black Lagoon(1954). Michael Shannon’s character says they picked it up in the Amazon river in South America, which is the setting of The Creature from the film.
