  Midnight Cowboy

  £95.00

  “Whatever you hear about Midnight Cowboy is true”

  A classic and scarce original 2019 BFI 50th Anniversary 4K release British UK quad film poster for John Schlesinger’s multi Award winning “Midnight Cowboy”, still the only X-Rated movie to win an Oscar. It was nominated for seven and won three including Best Director for John Schlesinger which was an (then) unheard of return for an ‘X’ film. Beautiful distinctive character imagery; a great black & white character shot of ‘Ratso’ (Dustin Hoffman and ‘Joe’ (Jon Voight). Originally rolled (as issued) this example displays and presents to excellent effect with pure bright white background and crisp colour imagery. Showing in only a handful of independent and art-house cinemas the advertising campaign was very low key and the UK film poster that accompanied the extremely limited cinema release is truly hard to find with this fine example representing an impressive item of collectable original cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Dustin Hoffman kept pebbles in his shoe to ensure his limp would be consistent from shot to shot.

  SLADE in Flame

  £125.00

  “In the cut throat world of the music business you’re either a success or dead.”

  Dig out those flares (anything under 15″ are not acceptable) & platform shoes…Not just responsible for one of the greatest Christmas songs ever but in 1975 Glam Rock band Slade starred in their own imaginatively titled big screen movie…SLADE IN FLAME ! Described as ‘the Citizen Kane of British pop movies’ by critic Mark Kermode, Slade in Flame both confounded and delighted audiences when it was released in 1975, at the height of the legendary glam-rock band’s success, starring the band themselves, this was a music film like no other. Charting the rise and fall of a pop group at the end of the 1960s, this darkly cynical, warts-and-all portrait of a band in freefall amidst the music-industry suits who want a piece of the pie was not what anybody was expecting. And now for the 50th Anniversary, Slade in Flame has been newly remastered by the BFI from the best available 35mm materials and re-released for a very limited cinematic outing. This original 2025 UK quad film poster to accompany the release is presented in excellent original rolled (as issued) condition that displays beautifully; the black background enhances the image of the group, who appear (due to some clever lighting) translucent, giving an almost 3D effect. The extremely limited release means these posters are very scarce and represent a fantastic piece of highly collectable and desirable original movie and music memorabilia.

  Trivia: Noddy Holder‘s opinion of his band’s acting: “We got away with it!”

  The Beatles Yellow Submarine

  £255.00

  “Nothing you can make that can’t be made. No one you can save that can’t be saved. Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time. It’s easy. All You Need is Love. All You Need is Love. All You Need is Love, love. Love is all you need.”

  A UK quad from the 50th Anniversary re-release of the Fab Four’s wacky, animated classic “Yellow Submarine” in 2018. The movie was digitally restored with the sound remixed and remastered and given a very limited cinema release. Paying homage to the design of the original 1968 UK quad, this modern updating makes great use of the bold  and vibrant colours used throughout the movie with classic psychedelic  Beatles imagery. Presented in excellent, rolled (as issued) condition this is a fantastic Beatles collectable and an amazing piece of music, film and cultural memorabilia. Included with the poster is a 50th Anniversary liveried “Yellow Submarine”envelope containing an invitation to the premiere screening on July 8th, four exclusive postcards and character stickers.

  Trivia: Reportedly one of the favorite movies of HRH Queen Elizabeth II, who owned her own copy of the film.

  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. Re-released in 2022 for its 5oth Anniversary, renowned artist Paul Shipper was commissioned to create a new poster for the event. Shipper’s artwork is superb with an incredible cast montage poster, with as you would expect Brando & Pacino taking centre stage. This British one-sheet displays to excellent effect and is an outstanding 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.

  Trivia: The smack that Vito gives Johnny Fontane was not in the script. Marlon Brando improvised the smack and Al Martino‘s confused reaction was real. According to James Caan, “Martino didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.”

  ZULU

  £325.00

  “In the hundred years since the Victoria Cross was created for valour and extreme courage beyond that normally expected of a British soldier in face of the enemy, only one thousand three hundred and forty four have been awarded. Eleven of these were won by the defenders of the mission station at Rorkes Drift, Natal January 22nd to the 23rd 1879.”

  The heroics of the British Army never looked better than featured here on this beautiful 50th Anniversary (2014) country of origin UK quad film poster for Cy Endfield’s “ZULU”. A global box office success that effectively made Michael Caine a worldwide star and further cemented the serious acting credentials of British movie greats Stanley Baker & Jack Hawkins. This ultra rare example features incredible unique artwork only used for this one-night only screening on June 10th 2014 . Rolled (as issued) this presents to excellent effect with heroic graphics and strong bright vivid colours – stunning when viewed in person that represents an extremely scarce and desirable item of original British cinematic memorabilia.

  Trivia: Joseph E. Levine said he would back any project Stanley Baker wanted to do. Baker said there was a project he was planning. Levine asked what it was called, and Baker replied, “Zulu.” Levine said, “‘Zulu’! I like that title. I will back you.”
