  2001: A Space Odyssey

  £1,495.00

  “HAL: I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”

  Bluntly, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is the greatest science-fiction film made to date with memorabilia avidly sought and collected, particularly the example that’s offered here – an outstanding Polish film poster with artwork by Wiktor Gorka. It’s an incredible, eye-catching, abstract design with deep, unfaded colours. An ultra rare film poster with a strictly limited number printed and issued in very low numbers to cinemas in Poland showing the film. Presented conservation linen-backed it really does display to superb effect. With its incredible scarcity and the Film’s historical cinematic influence it represents a true investment grade piece of original highly collectible cinema movie memorabilia. A science fiction fantasy, it is one of the most original films ever made, by one of the greatest ever film-makers.

  Trivia: In the premiere screening of the film, 241 people walked out of the theater, including Rock Hudson, who said, “Will someone tell me what the hell this is about?” Arthur C. Clarke once said, “If you understand ‘2001’ completely, we failed. We wanted to raise far more questions than we answered.”

  2001: A Space Odyssey

  £95.00

  “Dave, I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”

  Bluntly, Stanley Kubrick’s “2001: A Space Odyssey” is the greatest science-fiction film made to date with memorabilia avidly sought and collected, particularly ‘country of origin’ examples…Offered here is an original British 1968 flat and unfolded (as issued) British front of house lobby card. This Cinerama lobby card features outstanding Robert McCall sci-fi artwork of the ‘Space-Wheel’ one of the most memorable scenes in the movie (accompanied by the classical music score from the ‘Blue Danube’) and used as a significant image for the worldwide marketing campaign. Totally original and unrestored and presented in excellent condition it represents an impressive item of cinematic memorabilia for one of the most original films ever made, by one of the greatest ever film-makers.

  Trivia: Kubrick’s  “2001: A Space Odyssey” was the last movie made about men on the moon before Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked there in real life in 1969. More than 50 years later there are still conspiracy theorists who insist that this is not a coincidence, claiming that all footage of Armstrong’s voyage was a hoax film directed by Stanley Kubrick using leftover scenes and props from this movie.

  Barry Lyndon

  £175.00

  “At long last Redmond Barry became a gentleman…and that was his tragedy.”

  An exceptional looking movie poster for Stanley Kubrick’s 1975 historical drama “Barry Lyndon”. With superbly detailed imagery by Richard Amsel this is the much rarer ‘full’ artwork version and perfectly suited the the British UK quad landscape format; this really is a beautifully designed poster and becoming increasingly hard to find. Originally folded (as issued) this displays superbly retaining a crispness with deep unfaded colour tones. This excellent unrestored example presents near perfectly and represents an exceptional piece of collectable original film memorabilia. Perhaps over-looked by Kubrick’s other masterpieces he made many great films – and this one is most definitely one of them!

  Trivia: Stanley Kubrick‘s first movie to feature an auteur opening credit of “A film by Stanley Kubrick”. It also contains his longest on-screen credit in the end titles: “Written for the screen, produced, and directed by Stanley Kubrick.”
