“The music is on his side….All he wanted to do was dance.”
The energy, rebellion and unmistakable style of 1980s cinema are captured in this original UK Quad poster for Herbert Ross’s “Footloose”. The atmospheric design places Kevin Bacon’s Ren McCormack in motion against a cool blue and purple backdrop, dramatically divided from the black title panel by a vivid yellow line.
Released in 1984, the film follows a city teenager who moves to a conservative small town where dancing and rock music have been prohibited. Determined to challenge the ban, Ren inspires his classmates and confronts the community’s strict authority. Kevin Bacon stars alongside Lori Singer, John Lithgow and Dianne Wiest. The hugely successful soundtrack features Kenny Loggins’ iconic title song and Bonnie Tyler’s rousing anthem Holding Out for a Hero.
The memorable slogans—“The music is on his side” and “He’s a big-city kid in a small town”—perfectly capture the film’s youthful spirit. Measuring approximately 30 × 40 inches, this highly collectable poster is presented rolled (as issued), and remains in excellent condition. A superb display piece for collectors of the movie, Kevin Bacon and classic 1980s cinema.
Trivia: Tom Cruise and Rob Lowe were both slated to play the lead. The casting directors were impressed with Cruise because of the famous underwear dance sequence in Risky Business (1983), but he was unavailable for the part because he was filming All the Right Moves (1983). Lowe auditioned three times and had dancing ability and the “neutral teen” look that director Herbert Ross wanted, but he pulled his knee, and the injury prevented him from taking the part. After watching Diner (1982), Ross had to convince the producers to go with Kevin Bacon.

Although a relatively recent release any paper for Damien Chazelle’s 2016 multi award winning musical romance phenomenon “La La Land” is scarce. Taking audiences by storm at the box-office it was never expected (by the Studio) to be the huge worldwide success it turned out to be with a merchandising and marketing budget not reflected in the success. Hence the rarity of the film posters. Chazelle’s Oscar winning film was complemented with an award winning movie poster created by the creative arts agency LA. Stylish and simple the movie poster offered here is the British UK quad film poster affectionately known as the “dancing style” with both stars, Sebastian (Ryan Gosling) & Mia (Emma Stone) prominently featured and complemented by the five star glowing reviews. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays to excellent effect and particularly suited to the landscape format of the UK quad. Absolutely stunning; the deep blue/purple colour range is superb and unfaded with the bright yellow of Stone’s dress shining out like a beacon. Guaranteed original this represents an extremely scarce and desirable item of modern original collectable movie memorabilia from a truly remarkable film.
Trivia: The plot has strong ties to Emma Stone‘s real-life history. The movie is based in LA, and Mia is discovered as a college dropout actress pursuing her dreams. Stone is a school dropout herself, moving to LA at the age of 15 in pursuit of an acting career.

“You make it with some of these chicks then they think you gotta dance with them”
The influence of John Badham’s “Saturday Night Fever” cannot be understated. A cultural phenomenon that pretty much affected everyone at some point…music, dancing, fashion, attitudes & John Travolta; perfectly cast as the local walking cliche Tony Manero. And it’s Travolta in the iconic white suite that dominates the familiar movie poster imagery. Well, all that’s missing in this outstanding Czech poster by Zdenek Ziegler is the white suit – Travolta is instantly recognisable surrounded by an array of disco lights. Rolled (as issued) it displays and presents in excellent high grade condition and represents a fantastic looking original movie poster with an eye-catching design…“Catch it !”
Trivia: John Travolta used two suits in the climax of the film; he had to switch suits between takes because one would become heavily soaked with sweat and had to be dried while he was wearing the other one for subsequent takes.

A superb pop-art style design of Twiggy draped in the British Union Jack flag, by Polish School of Posters maestro Jakub Erol features on this original Polish film poster for Ken Russell’s 1971 musical extravaganza “The Boy Friend”. Offered here is an original 1973 (first release in Poland) Polish one-sheet finished in a very striking , country unique style with this example being the first time I have offered one for sale. The Polish artists were instructed to reject Western values in their posters and were to follow rules about appropriate messaging, but other than that, they had complete artistic freedom. This resulted in some truly unique and bold designs, chock-full with individual personality, wit and subversive commentary. Heavy in metaphors and symbolism and executed in a painterly fashion with handcrafted typography the posters of the Polish School of Posters significantly influenced the international development of graphic design. Originally folded (as issued) this looks and displays very well and has benefitted greatly from being conservation linen backed; the bold colour tones are superb and unfaded and literally ‘pop’ from the paper. Guaranteed original this represents an extremely scarce and desirable item of original collectable movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Vladek Sheybal‘s character, the director De Thrill, was a parody of famed director Cecil B. DeMille, and in fact Sheybal wore a pair of the actual boots DeMille always wore.
