  Barry Lyndon

  £175.00

  “At long last Redmond Barry became a gentleman…and that was his tragedy.”

  An exceptional looking movie poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 1975 historical drama “Barry Lyndon”. With superbly detailed imagery by Richard Amsel this is the much rarer ‘full’ artwork version and perfectly suited the the British UK quad landscape format; this really is a beautifully designed poster and becoming increasingly hard to find. Originally folded (as issued) this displays superbly retaining a crispness with deep unfaded colour tones. This excellent unrestored example presents near perfectly and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia. Perhaps over-looked by Kubrick’s other masterpieces he made many great films – and this one is most definitely one of them!

  Trivia: Stanley Kubrick‘s first movie to feature an auteur opening credit of “A film by Stanley Kubrick”. It also contains his longest on-screen credit in the end titles: “Written for the screen, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick.”

  Starship Troopers

  £125.00

  “The only good bug is a dead bug…Forget the insecticide, bring on the nukes !”

  Fantastic sci-fi imagery for this eye-catching movie poster for a war movie with a difference…it’s set in the future and we’re fighting giant bugs. Paul Verhoeven’s chest thumping actioner “Starship Troopers” is a true ‘marmite’ film; you either love the no holds barred over the top spectacularly gory action or you hate the simple plot and stiff as a board acting. With an eye-catching design that teases the giant bugs, as you see just their deadly claws in the foreground with a colonial marine running headlong to do battle with it – all against the backdrop of an alien planet. From original year of UK release 1997 this excellent rolled (as issued) one-sheet presents and displays near perfectly and represents a fantastic piece of original collectable movie memorabilia from what is undoubtably a great sci-fi action movie (one of the first to utilise and effectively use CGI technology) which is fondly remembered and spawned a popular TV show & three big screen sequels.

  Trivia: Most of the arachnids appearing on film are CGI but a few life-sized, robotic models were built. However, during the battle scenes, the actors mostly wound up looking at director Paul Verhoeven himself who would stand in front of them and jump and scream, even chasing them with a broom in an attempt to generate some of the fearsomeness of a 12-foot space ant. Clancy Brown, who played Sgt. Zim, affectionately described the director as “a nutbag”, given to “jumping up and down with a bullhorn going, ‘I’m a big fucking bug! I’ll kill you!’ I loved him; he was so much fun.”

  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.”
