  Blues Brothers, The

  £150.00

  “It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses”

  One of the few films that truly deserves to be called a ‘classic’. John Landis’ 1980 action comedy rollercoaster “The Blues Brothers”.  Over the years this movie has built up a huge cult following and established itself as the benchmark for which other action comedy films are compared against; it’s not many that come close. Any paper from the original release is very sought after – making this complete set of all eight (8) British front of house lobby cards hugely desirable. Featuring Jake (John Belushi) & Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) Blues on five of the cards and some of the comedy action scenes on the remaining three, this really is a superb set of displayable images that perfectly illustrates the film’s fun mood and chaotic vibe. Originally flat and unfolded (as issued) they display very well and represents a fine example of original and collectable movie memorabilia for the screens best loved anarchic action musical comedy that is “The Blues Brothers”

  “…and we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois’s law enforcement community that have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time…”

  Ghostbusters

  £225.00

  “Gozer the Gozerian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county, and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”

  One of the best must hummable theme tunes and a truly apocalyptic finale, it is no surprising that “Ghostbusters” was the biggest film of 1984. A supernatural summer blockbuster with humour, thrills, spills and some of the best special effects money could buy at the time. Ivan Reitman’s masterpiece is a much loved genuine classic that has been complemented by a series of alternative movie posters and in 2019 Mondo commissioned leading artist – Robert Sammelin to create his version. Sammelin has produced an outstanding addition to the title, truly eye-catching and super stylish as Gozer the Gozerian and the Stay Puft Marshmallow man take centre stage in the streams of the Ghostbusters’ proton packs. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect being hand-numbered #311/325. An extremely scarce example and an impressive item of collectable film movie memorabilia from one the best movies to come out of the 1980’s.

  Trivia: Almost none of the scenes were filmed as scripted; most had at least one ad-lib. Most of Bill Murray‘s lines are ad-libs.

  Ghostbusters

  £450.00

  “Gozer the Gozerian, good evening. As a duly designated representative of the city, county, and state of New York, I order you to cease any and all supernatural activity and return forthwith to your place of origin or to the nearest convenient parallel dimension.”

  One of the best must hummable theme tunes and a truly apocalyptic finale, it is no surprising that “Ghostbusters” was the biggest film of 1984. A supernatural summer blockbuster with humour, thrills, spills and some of the best special effects money could buy at the time. Ivan Reitman’s masterpiece is a much loved genuine classic. Sometimes lobby card sets are slightly disappointing as they don’t really represent that many interesting scenes or characters from the movie, but that is the complete opposite here – this complete set of ALL eight US lobby cards is magnificent, featuring the Ghostbusters on six of the cards, a super-sexy, albeit possessed Sigourney Weaver and the iconic ECTO-1 ghost mobile. Originally flat and olded (as issued) these superb unrestored examples display to excellent effect with minimal age and handling wear and represent an impressive item of collectable film movie memorabilia from one the best movies to come out of the 1980’s.

  Ghostbusters

  £225.00

  “Who ya gonna call ? Ghostbusters…They’re Here To Save The World !”

  The supernatural comedy, spectacular effects and unforgettable characters of “Ghostbusters” are brought together in this vibrantly coloured, richly detailed alternative movie poster by artist Roger Motzkus. Produced as a private commission in 2026, the composition places the Ghostbusters, Peter Venkman, Ray Stantz, Egon Spengler and Winston Zeddemore at the centre, surrounded by memorable characters and creatures from Ivan Reitman’s 1984 classic.

  Dana Barrett appears in her transformed guise beneath the towering Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, joined by Slimer, the Library Ghost, Louis Tully, Janine Melnitz and a Terror Dog. The Ghostbusters firehouse HQ and Ecto-1 complete the design, while streams of glowing proton energy and the vivid Ghostbusters title give the artwork tremendous movement and colour.

  Produced as a high-quality giclée print, this example is hand-numbered #36 from a limited edition of only 84. Presented rolled and remaining in excellent condition, it makes a superb display piece for collectors of “Ghostbusters” , alternative movie posters and 1980s cult cinema.

  Trivia: On the set, Dan Aykroyd referred to the “Slimer” ghost as the ghost of John Belushi, with Slimer’s gluttonous eating based on Belushi’s cafeteria scene in National Lampoon’s Animal House.

  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.

  The Blues Brothers

  £165.00

  “It’s 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark… and we’re wearing sunglasses”

  One of the few films that truly deserves to be called a ‘classic’. John Landis’ 1980 action comedy rollercoaster “The Blues Brothers”.  Over the years this movie has built up a huge cult following and established itself as the benchmark for which other action comedy films are compared against; it’s not many that come close. Any paper from the original release is extremely scarce and very sought after – making this original, very displayable Australian waybill hugely desirable and features Jake (John Belushi) & Elwood (Dan Aykroyd) Blues in classic pose dancing atop an over turned police patrol car that perfectly suits the film’s mood and vibe. Originally folded (as issued) it displays very well and is a fine example of very rare original and collectable movie memorabilia for the screens best loved anarchic action musical comedy that is “The Blues Brothers”

  Trading Places

  £275.00

  “They’re not just getting rich… They’re getting even.”

  Directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, “Trading Places” is one of the strongest comedies of the 1980s and stands as some of the best work for the main participants. With impressive artwork by Adrian Purkis the film poster that accompanied the release is a very clever design and one of the most memorable and best of the comedy genre. The original 1983 UK (British) one sheet movie poster offered here was originally folded (as issued) & presents in excellent unrestored condition with great colours and outstanding artwork. A very rare poster and genuinely scarce in this British portrait format that represents a highly very collectible & desirable original film memorabilia from a film lauded as a modern comedy classic and poster artwork that is such great fun!

  Trivia: In 2010, as part of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act, which was to regulate financial markets, a rule was included which barred anyone from using secret inside information to corner markets, similar to what the Duke brothers tried to do in the movie. Since the movie inspired this rule, it has since become known as the Eddie Murphy Rule.
