  Breakfast Club

  £650.00

  “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.

The bold red title and memorable “40 Storeys High” tagline capture the film’s relentless suspense, excitement and towering scale.

  Trading Places

  £275.00

  “They’re not just getting rich… They’re getting even.”

  Directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, “Trading Places” is one of the strongest comedies of the 1980s and stands as some of the best work for the main participants. With impressive artwork by Adrian Purkis the film poster that accompanied the release is a very clever design and one of the most memorable and best of the comedy genre. The original 1983 UK (British) one sheet movie poster offered here was originally folded (as issued) & presents in excellent unrestored condition with great colours and outstanding artwork. A very rare poster and genuinely scarce in this British portrait format that represents a highly very collectible & desirable original film memorabilia from a film lauded as a modern comedy classic and poster artwork that is such great fun!

  Trivia: In 2010, as part of the Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act, which was to regulate financial markets, a rule was included which barred anyone from using secret inside information to corner markets, similar to what the Duke brothers tried to do in the movie. Since the movie inspired this rule, it has since become known as the Eddie Murphy Rule.
