  • Clockwork Orange Movie Poster

    Clockwork Orange

    £325.00

    “Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”

    Without doubt “A Clockwork Orange” was 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”. Malcolm McDowell’s signature role, and it’s his character Alex DeLarge who features on all eight cards in this complete set of US lobby cards from first year of release, 1972 as he is highlighted in key scenes and in stunning close-up. A rare find as a complete set, with most broken up and the cards sold individually. Totally original and unrestored, the cards are presented in high grade, flat, unfolded (as issued) condition that display and present to excellent effect. A genuinely scarce and hard to find example of cinema memorabilia. The film still remains Kubrick’s most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career and represent a superb addition to any collection.

    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).’

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.

  • Dracula A.D.1972 Movie Poster

    Dracula A.D.1972

    £175.00

    The Time: Now. The Place: Kings Road, Chelsea. The Killer: Count Dracula !

    Some truly horrific photo montage artwork for “Dracula A.D.1972” makes this Japanese B2 film poster from 1972 (would you believe it ?) one of my personal favourite Hammer posters. It’s more than you can shake stake at with Caroline Munro and Stephanie Beacham certainly putting the glamour into Hammer ! And if that doesn’t appeal totally stealing the action is one of the coolest British cars ever made; the beautiful Triumph Stag and dominating the imagery, a particularly eerie shot of Christopher Lee as the titular Count. In very good condition with only minor handling wear this fantastic folded (as issued) example presents superbly. A lovely example of Hammer Horror memorabilia for one of my personal favourite Dracula films.

    Trivia: “Alucard”, Johnny’s last name, is “Dracula” spelled backward.

  • Silent Running Movie Poster

    Silent Running

    £495.00

    “In a future where all flora are extinct on Earth, an astronaut is given orders to destroy the last of Earth’s plant samples, kept in a greenhouse aboard a spacecraft.”

    A very COOL poster and a fantastic example of the supremely talented film poster artist George Akimoto – a master at illustrating anything aeronautical, especially space ships. And it’s the amazing painting of the space ship “Valley Forge” together with a wonderful image of Freeman Lowell (Bruce Dern) who is the space ranger who together with Huey (along with Dewey and Louie, one of the three scene stealing drones) lovingly cares for the last of Earth’s plant-life . This original “Silent Running” 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 UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1972 and displays to excellent effect. Originally folded (as issued) it is presented in incredible unrestored condition (most likely unused) and is the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. In true investment grade condition, this genuinely rare cult classic represents an extremely desirable and collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Several shots of the ‘Valley Forge’ and its sister ships were later re-used in the television series “Battlestar Galactica”, as agricultural ships in the refugee fleet.

    The Godfather

    £225.00

    “If by chance an honest man like yourself should make enemies, then they would become my enemies. And then they would fear you.”

    Francis Ford Coppola’s multi Oscar winning masterpiece “The Godfather” is THE GREATEST FILM EVER MADE with this limited edition alternative movie poster by the artist Jeff Kleinsmith, a truly memorable and eye-catching design for this crime classic. Kleinsmith’s artwork and use of bold colour is very clever with more than a nod to the Eastern European school of poster design. Full of classic Godfather symbolism – the severed horse’s head, oranges from the Don’s garden and a blood splatter that features all of the Corleone Family – subtly stating that the Family has blood in its history. Commissioned for a limited screening at the Alamo Drafthouse theatre in 2009, this fine example has been hand-numbered #253 from a print run of only 285. It displays to excellent effect and is an outstanding example of an alternative movie poster for a film, that is a phenomenon. An exquisite Mafia epic with outstanding performances, Coppola got everything right, creating a cinematic event with an immeasurable influence on everyday culture and life.
