“A man went looking for America. And couldn’t find it anywhere . . .”
Rarely is a reissue poster more highly treasured than the original release, but this is “Easy Rider” one-sheet is one such title. In the 1969 campaign, the studio chose to play down the ‘biker flick’ theme, with only a daydreaming Peter Fonda in profile, no motorcycle insight. As the film was a chopper-thundering success, when paper for the re-release was launched in 1972, the studio showed no further hesitation, capitalising on the famous image of Fonda and Dennis Hopper rollin’ down the highway on their Harley motorbikes. Perhaps the best news for collectors and poster lovers alike is that they maintained the concept of the original poster, printing in the same soft yellow colour with the same soft-focus texturing. This allows the original and the reissue to be the perfect complement to each other. An absolute must-have example with an iconic design and use of bold colours (deep black and bright yellow in this case) which literally do ‘pop’ out from from the paper of this stunning original country of origin American poster. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard and represents a hugely collectable and desirable example of cinema movie memorabilia for one of the defining cultural movies of the psychedelic 60’s appealing to film and motorcycle collectors alike…The ultimate ‘road’ movie !
Trivia: During Jack Nicholson‘s “UFO” speech, Dennis Hopper was intent on getting him very stoned on marijuana. The laughing that eventually broke up his speech was not planned, and when Nicholson repeats the line “it . . . it . . . would be devastating . . . ” it was the next take. However, Nicholson was largely able to stick to the script as written, much to the crew’s amazement. This is a stark contrast to the other cast members, who improvised most of their lines.

An excellent example for one of the best comedy horror films ever made…“Gremlins”. Written by Chris Columbus (Harry Potter, The Goonies) and directed by Joe Dante it was a huge box office hit. Re-released by Warner Bros. in 2019, recognising the fact that the movie has now become a classic ‘Christmas’ movie with Gizmo dressed in a Santa hat set against a Snow White background with the landscape format of the British UK quad perfectly suited to his design. Originally rolled (as issued) this 2019 film poster presents and displays very well. Totally original and unrestored this hard to find modern re-release of an important 80’s movie is becoming more and more sought after and represents a great collectable piece of original film movie memorabilia.
Trivia: Zach Galligan recounted in an interview that when the movie was made, there was no CGI, so all of the Gremlins were animatronics, each costing between $30,000-40,000 ($60,000-$90,500 adjusted for 2024 inflation). When everyone left the lot for the day, security would have everyone open the trunks of their cars to make sure they weren’t stolen.

This is certainly one of the most intense films Scorsese has directed, and one of the most important of his career. It is an iconic motion picture that will stand the test of time for years and years to come. The movie poster that accompanied the Czech release of Martin Scorsese’s Oscar winning Jake La Motta biopic “Raging Bull” was equally as striking. Czech artist Zdenek Ziegler has impressively adapted the close up image of La Motta (De Niro) from the US & British campaigns and added a ‘devilish’ tone to the design. The originally rolled (as issued), unrestored example offered here has minimal handling and displays & presents to excellent effect with deep unfaded colours. Very rare, as it received a very limited release in Czechoslovakia and was only shown in a handful of ‘art-house’ cinemas. A must have title for the serious collector or fan it represents a fantastic item of good looking collectable movie memorabilia.
Trivia: The reasons why the film was made in black and white were mainly to differentiate it from Rocky (1976), as well as for period authenticity. Another reason was that Martin Scorsesedidn’t want to depict all that blood in a color picture. Also, in the book, Jake LaMotta says “Now, sometimes, at night, when I think back, I feel like I’m looking at an old black and white movie of myself. Why it should be black and white I don’t know, but it is.”

“They called him “Fast Eddie”… He was a winner… He was a loser… He was a hustler.”
Rarely is a reissue poster more highly treasured than the original release, but this is – “The Hustler” one-sheet is one such title. When this movie was first released, the studio seemed to want to hide that it was about “pool hustling”, and it was sold as being a romance, and there was little to no mention (or images) of pool on any of the first release 1961 posters. But when the movie was quickly re-released three years later in 1964, it had become an Academy Award winning classic, and learning from their mistakes, the new marketing campaign featured a striking stylised design – a pool cue with images of the actors within billiard balls set against a green baize background. An absolute must-have example with an iconic design and use of bold colours which literally do ‘pop’ out from the paper of this stunning original country of origin American poster. Originally folded (as issued) the example offered here has been professionally conservation linen backed to a very high standard and appears rolled. It represents a hugely collectable and desirable example of cinema movie memorabilia for one of the defining sports based movies ever made. A truly classic movie and poster.
Trivia: All the pool shots in the movie are performed by the actors themselves (Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason) except one: the massé shot (cue ball sends two object balls into the same pocket), performed by Willie Mosconi.
