  The Warriors

  £695.00

  “These are the Armies of The Night. They are 60,000 strong. They outnumber the cops three to one. They could run New York City. Tonight they’re all out to get the Warriors”

  Walter Hill’s hugely successful 1979 New York gang culture feature “The Warriors” is rightly regarded as a cult movie proving a hit with both critics and the movie going public. This original British quad is the alternative black and white style, which in my opinion makes it so much more striking than the full colour version – it suits the overall feel of the movie better and the bright red of the title is so much more vibrant. Drawing parallels to Greek Themes, this Walter Hill film about a gang that must travel thirty miles to make it home after being framed for murder has achieved cult status over the years for its memorable depiction of gangs and unique approach to portraying events from the street gang’s point of view. Offered unrestored and presented in very good folded (as issued) condition it displays and presents to excellent effect. This is a scarce film poster, that is genuinely hard to find that represents a fine piece cinema memorabilia for one of the great action thrillers of the 1970’s.

  Trivia: The iconic “Warriors, come out to play” scene was completely improvised by David Patrick Kelly after he felt the scripted scene wasn’t working. Walter Hill told him to just “come up with something”. Kelly gathered up some empty beer bottles he found under the boardwalk and created the intimidating dialogue. Kelly later revealed that he based it on a neighbour who used to intimidate him.

  West Side Story

  £95.00

  “Celebrate the greatest love story of all time.”

  “West Side Story” was one of the greatest musical movies ever to come out of the 1960’s and Steven Spielberg with this 2021 remake has paid more than an enjoyable homage to the original. The silhouette image featured here on this Advance ‘Coming Soon’ US one sheet is a striking and clever design by advertising agency BLT Communications. Originally rolled (as issued) this totally unrestored example presents and displays to excellent effect with only minimal handling wear and represents a hugely collectable piece of cinematic movie memorabilia.

  Trivia: With this film, Steven Spielberg becomes the first person to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director over six consecutive decades.

  Trivia: RCA requested that many references to, mostly, death and suicide in Bowie’s lyrics should be bleeped. Pennebaker gave way. But he only bleeped the mono-sound negative, while the stereo film print and soundtrack remained non-bleeped.
