  • Soul Boys of the Western World – Spandau Ballet: The Film

    £100.00

    “To Cut a Long Story Short”…It’s not many films that get a a London premiere at the Royal Albert Hall, but then it’s not every film that tells the story of meteoric rise, fall and ultimate reunion of new romantic pop sensations, Spandau Ballet.  The advertising campaign was very low key and the UK film poster that accompanied the extremely limited cinema release is truly scarce. It really is a great snap shot of the 80’s image of the band from their first visit to New York. Originally rolled this incredibly rare example displays as new. Never commercially available the posters for this release are unbelievably scarce…fantastic item of Spandau Ballet / New Romantics / film / cultural  memorabilia   presented in investment grade condition !

  • The Princess Bride Movie Poster

    The Princess Bride

    £595.00

    “Heroes. Giants. Villains. Wizards. True Love. – Not just your basic, average, everyday, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, ho-hum fairy tale.”

    A very COOL poster for a much loved action adventure fantasy romance.  This originalThe Princess Bride” movie poster has it all; amazing artwork by Steve Crisp for Hat ART Design, great detail & super colours. It is also very rare and one of the scarcest movie posters from the 80’s to find. The original UK quad movie poster offered here is from first year of release, 1987 and displays to excellent effect. Originally rolled (as issued) it is presented in beautiful near perfect unrestored condition and could truly be considered investment grade quality – it’s the best example of this poster I have ever offered for sale. A genuinely rare fantasy classic cinema poster that represents extremely desirable and collectable movie memorabilia, especially if you are a fan of Heroes, Giants, Wizards & True Love (& let’s face it who isn’t).

    Trivia: According to author William Goldman, when he was first trying to get the movie made in the 1970s, a then-unknown Arnold Schwarzenegger wanted to play Fezzik, and he was strongly being considered because Goldman could never get his first choice, André the Giant, to read for the role. By the time the movie was made about twelve years later, Schwarzenegger was such a big star they could not afford him. Andre was cast after all, and the two big men had gone on to become friends.

  • Transformers Movie Poster

    Transformers

    £175.00

    “The name Megatron was originally rejected by Hasbro for being too scary. Bob Budiansky, the writer tasked with naming the characters, argued that, as a villain, his name should be scary.”

    Hasbro’s Transformers was one of the most popular animated TV shows  and toy-lines of the 1980s. being so successful that it warranted a big screen, cinematic movie “Transformers: The Movie” and then forty years later a special cinema experience developed by Hasbro that combined key episodes and new features with the original voice actors for both Megatron (Frank Welker) and Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen) was released in cinemas worldwide for a strictly limited three day screening run. With colourful and exciting action-packed poster artwork promising everything that the award winning fantasy cartoon TV series offered and more. These posters are extremely scarce with this originally rolled (as issued) example a marvellous item of retro nostalgia. Totally feel good, original cinematic movie memorabilia for a franchise and toy-line that has weathered the test of time with a series of reimagined big budget CGI Michael Bay blockbusters and is just as popular today as it was when first released.

    Trivia: In 2006, Peter Cullen said, “I kind of modeled Optimus Prime’s voice out of many people I had known over the years, my family especially. My brother was a captain in the Marine Corps, and a very big hero in my life. His approach to serious situations was always calm and controlled [and] authoritative. So my brother is in there. Even my dad, too, [and] former friends who have now departed but are strong in my memory.” The voice has also been compared to that of John Wayne, but Cullen said, “John Wayne was never intended to be the sound, but he did come out every now and then.”
