A beautiful British Quad for Terrence Malick’s cinematic debut “Badlands” starring Martin Sheen and Sissy Spacek as the young couple on a killing spree across the ‘badlands of Montana’. This 2008 BFI (British Film Institute) re-release offering sees the original 1973 British artwork adapted to a full bleed image with no white border. It really works, resulting in a particularly powerful silhouette imagery. Presented unrestored, in originally rolled (as issued) condition, this scarce British poster rarely comes to market and represents a fine piece of cinematic memorabilia for a cult classic movie.
Trivia: The film’s plot and lead characters are based on Charles Starkweather and Caril Fugate. In 1958, they embarked on a murder spree that horrified the country.

“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).’

“Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”
Without doubt 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”.

This 2019 release for Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” is quite simply a stunning piece of artwork, with a strictly limited print run of only 150 this is numbered #11.

“Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.”
Without doubt 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”. 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. Showing a close up of the Director-Producer the snipe on the reverse carries the correct reference number (SKB-130) and the following – STANLEY KUBRICK, producer-director of “A Clockwork Orange”, a Warner Bros. release. Based on the novel by Anthony Burgess, the film was adapted to the screen by Kubrick.” It still remains his most controversial work; quite a feat when one considers the range of topics the filmmaker explored across his remarkable career. This superb example is presented flat/unfolded (as issued) and displays to excellent effect with only very minimal handling wear. A superb addition to any collection (for display or investment) and an incredibly scarce piece of film and cultural memorabilia.

Without doubt the most controversial film of it’s day, and that’s saying something when you consider it was released alongside “The Exorcist” and “Last Tango in Paris”. Often the subject matter for many up and coming artists looking to make a name for themselves in the up and coming Alternative Movie Poster market, this offering by Stella Ygris really is a cut above the rest. This 2022 release for Stanley Kubrick’s ultra-violent masterpiece “Clockwork Orange” is quite simply a stunning piece of artwork, with a strictly limited print run of only 50 this is numbered #25. Malcolm McDowell’s character Alex provides the focal point. Visual impact and artistic design are key aspects of any Kibrick production and this beautiful example perfectly illustrates that. Absolutely stunning, the photograph really doesn’t do this example justice – being a giclee print (see below) the vibrant colours pop from the paper. 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. This superb unrestored example is presented rolled (as issued) and displays to excellent effect. A superb addition to any collection and an incredible piece of modern film art and cultural memorabilia.

What is Giclee ?
Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black.
Fantastic for reproductions which require maximum detail, giclées are most commonly found on watercolour paper or canvas, but can also be created on glass. Different types of paper will produce different effects. Matte paper works well behind glass due its lack of reflectivity, whilst the shine of a glossy finish can give an artwork a brighter appearance.

Directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Ken Loach, “KES” is based on the 1968 novel “A Kestrel for a Knave”, written by Barry Hines. It is part of the kitchen sink realism movement that developed in Britain in the late 50s and early 60s. This movement focussed on those that were disillusioned with modern society, and on the domestic lives of working-class Britain. When re-released by the BFI in 1999 for the 30th Anniversary, graphic design agency The Farm was commissioned to create a new poster, and it’s fair to say it what he has produced surpasses the original. Exclusive to this British release it’s a stunning imagery sums up the feeling of isolation. The borrowed shorts typify the “done unto” theme for the young lad while attempting to add a touch of welcome understated humour to the poster – made more poignant by the fact that for David Bradley’s role in life humour was usually at his own expense or not at all. An incredibly scarce example of modern poster design, perfectly suited to the landscape format of the UK quad. Originally rolled (as issued) this superb example presents extremely well and represents a beautiful example of cinematic movie memorabilia from a film that remains a powerful study of school, family, strife and dreams ever made.
Trivia: KES (1969) has a 100% rating based on 32 critic reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

This movement focused on those that were disillusioned with modern society, and on the domestic lives of working-class Britain. When re-released in the 1970s the front of house lobby cards – full colour in the 1969 release were re-issued with a light blue sepia tone, which in my opinion is much better looking , giving a particularly striking effect that also makes David Dai Bradley’s signature (signed in black sharpie pen) really stand out. Bradley has signed with a very nice signature and has also added his character name – Billy. An outstanding card from the set as it features Billy (Dai Bradley) with his kestrel, KES. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) this superb example presents extremely well and represents a beautiful example of cinematic movie memorabilia from a film that remains a powerful study of school, family, strife and dreams ever made.
This item was personally signed by David Dai Bradley when he was a guest at the London Film Fair on Sunday 22nd September 2024.

“The Greek gods created a woman – Pandora. She was beautiful and charming and versed in the art of flattery. But the gods also gave her a box containing all the evils of the world. The heedless woman opened the box, and all evil was loosed upon us.”
One of the great silent films, Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s “Pandora’s Box” is renowned for its sensational storyline, sparkling Weimar-period setting and the legendary, lead performance from its iconic star Louise Brooks who is featured prominently on the poster imagery. 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 with the updated imagery often superior to many of the original release designs. The rolled (as issued) UK quad offered here is from the 2020 digital restoration BFI release and displays to excellent effect with beautiful imagery and design; lovely bright bold colours. A fantastic looking item and a fine piece of cinema memorabilia for a true classic of the silent era.
Trivia: Despite being replaced by Louise Brooks at the last minute for the role of Lulu in Pandora’s Box (1929), Marlene Dietrich managed to snag another coveted role. Her removal from “Pandora’s Box” freed her up to play one of her most iconic roles, Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg‘s The Blue Angel (1930).

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!”
