  • Donnie Darko Movie Poster

    Donnie Darko

    £195.00

    “Life is one long insane trip. Some people just have better directions.”

    Think of a giant deformed rabbit called Frank and Richard Kelly’s psychological horror movie “Donnie Darko” surely springs to mind. A cult hit with a huge and loyal fanbase when originally released in 2001. And it from this first release that the UK quad film poster, designed by KO Creative is from. A distinctive and memorable image of Frank for a poster that is presented in very good rolled (as issued) condition with only some light surface wear. The black background is dark and unfaded with the bright blue tones of Frank appearing to pop from the paper. A rare item of movie memorabilia and a scarce,  hard to find movie poster for one of Cinema’s greatest cult films.

    Trivia: Patrick Swayze wore his own clothes from the 1980s for the film.

  • E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Movie Poster

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial

    £295.00

    “He is afraid. He is totally alone. He is 3 million light years from home.”

    “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” is the film which Steven Spielberg says epitomises his career. A true classic for all ages. Spielberg chose a regular collaborator in the artist John Alvin to create the marketing poster, and it’s fair to say that he (along with design agency Intralink Film Graphic Design – taking inspiration from Michelangelo’s ‘Creation of Adam’ painting which adorns the ceiling in the Sistine Chapel)  has produced one of the cinema’s classic, timeless posters, that is immediately recognisable as the finger tips of E.T. & Elliott touch to create that spark of friendship. Certainly the best example we have ever offered for sale and very hard to find in this outstanding rolled (as issued) condition and a marvellous item of truly collectable  cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Richard Attenborough later said that he felt bad that his own film, Gandhi (1982), beat this film to the Best Picture Academy Award because he considered his friend Steven Spielberg‘s film more deserving of the award and was convinced before the ceremony that it would win. Attenborough described E.T. as “a quite extraordinary piece of cinema”.
