“They were five total strangers, with nothing in common, meeting for the first time. A brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel and a recluse. Before the day was over, they broke the rules. Bared their souls. And touched each other in a way they never dreamed possible.”
“The Breakfast Club” was a massive blockbuster hit when released in 1985 establishing the careers of its five stars – Emilio Estevez, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Molly Ringwald and Anthony Michael Hall and it has gone on to attain cult status, as one of the must watch movies of the 1980s. This original country of origin US one-sheet is from the first year of release, 1985 and was designed by the Seiniger Agency and features a fantastic cast shot. Rolled (as issued) this example presents to excellent effect that represents a fine example of rare, collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The David Bowie quote at the beginning of the movie is pulled from his song “Changes”. It can be found on his 1971 album, “Hunky Dory”. Ally Sheedy (Allison Reynolds) suggested the quote to John Hughes, who liked it, and thus included it in the opening.

“He has no skills and can only find menial, low-paying jobs. He decides to become a gigolo to lonely rich women.”
Supreme example of Tom Chantrell’s stunning artwork; an extremely rare original 1978 UK Quad film poster for the David Bowie drama “Just a Gigolo”. This film was perfect for Bowie (you could genuinely believe he was a 1920s pseudo aristocrat) as the extravagantly named Paul Ambrosius von Przygodski. Tom Chantrell’s artwork (unique to the British release) places Bowie centre stage, cleverly portrayed in black and white whilst the supporting cast, including Kim Novak and Marlene Dietrich (her last movie appearance) are featured in full colour. With only minimal handling wear, this originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example displays to beautiful effect. The deep black background contrasted with vibrant colours makes for a truly impressive piece. One of Bowie’s most stylish movie posters and a fantastic piece of highly collectable original movie and music memorabilia and a perfect showcase for Chantrell’s incredible talent at catching an actors likeness.
Trivia: The last on-screen appearance by Marlene Dietrich. German press reports claimed she was paid $250,000 for two days’ work.

“It’s not a biography. It’s a senses attack”
Undoubtedly, one of the great music biography films; David Bowie as presented by Brett Morgen in “Moonage Daydream”. Technically it’s not a biography but a loud, vivid, exploration and celebration of Bowie’s life, art, and music. Made up of clips cleverly edited together and enhanced to make this a cinematic experience. This original 2022 one-sheet designed by Empire Design and featuring an iconic Bianca Moran Parkes Bowie image is a truly great find due to the very limited cinematic release in art-house and small independent cinemas. Presented in near perfect unrestored, rolled (as issued) condition – truly stunning, and a perfect compliment to the ground breaking musician. Incredibly scarce with a very low print run this really is an exciting item of rock / movie collectible from one of the most influential icons of modern pop culture…David Bowie.
Trivia: The documentary includes a lot of David Bowie‘s unpublished personal material, including photos, home videos and some interviews on TV. Director Brett Morgen talked in person with Bowie’s widow, top model Iman, for asking permission to use the material as tribute to Bowie. Although in a first moment she was reluctant to this idea, she was convinced by Morgen’s previous works Cobain: Montage of Heck (2015) and Jane (2017) about singer Kurt Cobain and scientist Jane Goodall, where Morgen used personal material from each other to create artistic collages as tribute to them, instead to use in the way to make a classic biographic documentary.

“The radio station where Robert is a disc jockey was based on the United Biscuits Network, which broadcast to factories owned by United Biscuits.”
“Radio On” is one of the landmark English films of the past 45 years and considered to be a British classic. Christopher Petit, an English novelist and filmmaker wrote and directed the movie. The film is set in late 1970s Britain, in a post-punk era, and released in 1979. That was the time when Britain’s political and social state was about to change, as the Thatcher years were in their infancy. The story centres around a distant young DJ named Robert, played by David Beames, who is on a mission to find more information about his brother’s alleged suicide. His trip finds him travelling from London to Bristol, where en route, he meets a collection of unique individuals who join him on his pursuit for answers. Filmed in moody black and white that theme is continued with the film poster that was used to market the movie. Using a photograph from Sickert this original UK quad from first year of release in 1979 remastered re-release features eye-catching imagery. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays to excellent effect being totally original and unrestored and presented in a very high grade. Having a very limited standalone release (it was primarily screened as a double-bill with Luis Bunuel’s “L’Age D’Or”) these posters are particularly scarce and represents a hugely desirable item of music related cinematic memorabilia.
Trivia: The football results read out over the car radio are from Saturday 10th March 1979.

“Are You Watching Closely?”
Scarce, original one-sheet for Christopher Nolan’s 2006 real magic drama “The Prestige”. With a distinctive design by Crew Creative Advertising the two main characters Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) and Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) are featured offset against a spiral style background by Akisyoshi Kitaoka. It’s an incredible optical illusion design that actually appears to move – it really is quite striking. Originally rolled (as issued) this displays superbly and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia. Perhaps over-looked by Nolan’s other masterpieces he has made many great films – and this one is most definitely one of them!
Trivia:The word “prestige” originally meant a trick, from the Latin “praestigium”, meaning “illusion”.

“Through archival interviews and footage, George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley relive the arc of their Wham career, from ’70s best buds to ’80s pop icons.”
Released on Netflix in July 2023 “WHAM!” is one the channel’s most streamed programmes, documenting (largely through the scrap book diaries kept by Andrew Ridgeley’s Mum) the effervescent rise of the happy go lucky pop duo and the emergence of George into a global solo singer/song-writer superstar. Prior to the film’s Netflix release it was screened for one-night only on June 27th in only a small number of select cinemas throughout the UK. The poster (a UK quad) used to accompany and promote this release features the imagery of photographer Chris Craymer. His photograph perfectly captures the charm, bubbliness, friendship and true happiness of the duo as they were starting out on their musical journey. Incredibly rare, due to the very limited number of cinemas showing the movie, this originally rolled (as issued) example displays superbly and represents a fantastic and hugely collectable item of music and movie memorabilia.
Trivia: “Wham! was one of the most commercially successful pop acts of the 1980s They ended up selling more than 30 million certified records worldwide between 1982 to 1986.”
