  John Carpenter’s The Thing

  £60.00

  “Man is The Warmest Place to Hide.’

  An outstanding original 1982 black & white press publicity still for John Carpenter’s horror, sci-fi classic “The Thing”. This superb example features Kurt Russell’s character MacReady as he discovers the empty block of ice at the abandoned Norwegian base – Alien terror never looked better than this. This original black & white publicity still is flat and unfolded (as issued), in exceptional high grade condition. A movie that is highly regarded as a true classic of the genre and a hugely collectable piece of horror, sci-fi film memorabilia. “Did you notice anything strange about the dog that arrived yesterday? Anything at all?”

  Trivia: Unused music composed for this film was later used by Ennio Morricone in Quentin Tarantino‘s The Hateful Eight (2015). Ironically, Morricone’s Thing score was nominated for a Razzie for worst score, while his score for Hateful Eight won him an Oscar.

  Top Gun

  £95.00

  “I feel the need, the need for speed”

  Absolute cheese on a stick, but “Top Gun” proves that that’s not always a bad thing. This movie’s got everything – an arrogant prodigy who’d be out on his arse if he wasn’t so good, a sensible, uglier best friend, a love interest, an arch nemesis and his dumb sidekick, a few cool high fives and catchphrases, an emotional death scene, a euphoric victory scene and of course, some unforgettable action scenes, punctuated by a cracking soundtrack. What more could any red-blooded child of the 1980s ask for ? Well, how about this original black & white press publicity still featuring Tom Cruise as Lt.Pete Mitchell or as he’s better known “Maverick” and the love of his life (at least in this movie) Kelly McGillis as Charlie – this image is the same used on the worldwide poster campaign that accompanied the Film’s release. Presented flat and unfolded (as issued) this original 1986 publicity stills present exceptionally well. One of the most collected and desirable titles from the 1980s that represents an outstanding example of original cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: Riding on the back of this film’s success, the U.S. Navy set up recruiting booths in the major cinemas to try and catch some of the adrenaline charged guys leaving the screenings. They had the highest applications rate for years as a result.
