  • The Graduate Alternative Movie Poster

    Graduate, The

    £695.00

    “This is Benjamin. He’s a little worried about his future.”

    Nautilus Art Prints released this Laurent Durieux variant as a limited run of 200 in 2017. In this poster, Durieux creates a bright and colourful retro summer aesthetic as he illustrates the memorable scuba-suit pool scene from Mark Nichols’ 1967 comedy-drama-romance “The Graduate”. This scene was very symbolic in displaying Ben’s (Dustin Hoffman) lack of control over his future whilst he was still trapped under hs parents control. The 12-colour screen print is signed by Durieux and hand-numbered #36/200. Having a very limited release these alternative movie posters are incredibly rare. Unrestored, this rolled (as issued) poster presents and displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia featuring one of Hollywood’s greatest romantic comedy’s…classic and very COOL!

    Trivia: In the famous promotional still and original poster for this film, Dustin Hoffman is seen in the background framed by Mrs. Robinson’s shapely leg. The leg in that photo didn’t belong to Anne Bancroft, however; it belonged to a then-unknown model, Linda Gray, who later played Mrs. Robinson in a London stage musical of The Graduate & Sue Ellen Ewing in the TV show Dallas.

  • Green Street Movie Poster

    Green Street

    £150.00

    “Stand Your Ground And Fight. “

    2005 saw the release of the ‘British lad football culture’ movie “Green Street”. The name of the firm in the film, the Green Street Elite, refers to Green Street in the London Borough of Newham, where West Ham’s old home stadium, Upton Park was located. The UK quad used to market the movie is a classic character study with the two major stars – Elijah Wood and Charlie Hannam taking centre stage. The originally rolled (as issued) UK quad film poster offered here displays beautifully and is presented in excellent condition with minimal handling wear and represents an extremely desirable piece of original British movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: West Ham were approached by the film-makers who wanted to shoot scenes at their Upton Park ground. As they were under the impression that the film was celebrating the glorious game and its fanatical supporters, they agreed. Once they realized the film’s true take on the subject (after filming had taken place), they disassociated themselves from the project.

  • Gremlins Movie Poster

    Gremlins

    £95.00

    “Cute. Clever. Mischievous. Intelligent. Dangerous.”

    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.

  • Highlander Movie Poster

    Highlander

    £495.00

    “He fought his first battle on the Scottish Highlands in 1536. He will fight his greatest battle on the streets of New York City in 1986. His name is Connor MacLeod. He is immortal.”

    Does exactly what a fantasy movie is supposed to do! It lets your imagination run away with you. The Queen soundtrack (like their earlier Flash Gordon) is fantastic. Sean Connery is of course ‘Sean Connery’ & wonderful in his part with Christopher Lambert perfectly cast as the untrained Immortal Connor MacLeod. Like many films that have reached a cult status it received a lukewarm reception (& that’s being kind) on its initial release resulting in very limited availability of the merchandising used to promote it especially the film posters. Offered here is a scarce one-sheet, unrestored, original country of origin (UK) film poster for Russell Mulcahy’s 1986 fantasy adventure “Highlander”. This superb originally rolled (as issued) example has a high gloss finish, deep, vibrant colours and stunning detailed Brian Bysouth sci-fi imagery. All making for an extremely desirable investment grade condition exceptionally scarce movie poster from a hugely influential movie that spawned numerous sequels, TV series’ & even a cartoon…One of the coolest poster’s from 1980’s and a fantastic piece of collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Queen originally intended to record only one song for this movie, but after viewing footage from the movie, they were inspired to write more. The band members each had a favorite scene and composed songs specifically for them. Brian May wrote “Who Wants to Live Forever” during the cab ride home after seeing the movie, and Roger Taylor used the line “It’s a kind of magic” as the basis for the end title song.

  • Home Alone Movie Poster

    Home Alone

    £175.00

    “Merry Christmas, little fella. We know that you’re in there, and that you’re all alone.”

  • Home Alone Movie Poster

    Home Alone

    £125.00

    “A family comedy without the family.”

    “Home Alone” was a massive blockbuster hit when released in 1990 launching the career of child star – Macaulay Culkin and it has gone on to attain cult status, as one of the greatest and best-loved Christmas movies and is one of the highest grossing box office comedy’s of all time. This original UK quad is from the 1991 re-release and features Culkin’s character Kevin MacCallister in ‘Holy Cow’ posse and his adversaries the ‘Wet Bandits’Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. Rolled (as issued) this example presents to excellent effect with deep blue unfaded background and crisp colours on the character images. It represents a fine example of rare, collectable cinematic movie memorabilia.

    Trivia: Joe Pesci was used to adding profanity to most of his scripts, and kept forgetting that he was filming a family movie during his character’s on-screen outbursts, so director Chris Columbus advised him to say “fridge” instead of the “f” word. A lot of Pesci’s unintelligible pained mutterings were his way to avoid cursing.

  • Hot Fuzz Movie Poster

    Hot Fuzz

    £125.00

    “They’re bad boys. They’re die hards. They’re lethal weapons. They are… Hot Fuzz.”

    Original 2007 Japanese B2 movie poster for the Pegg/Frost/Wright collaboration “Hot Fuzz”. A poster that is genuinely scarce due to a limited cinema release in Japan and like the makers’ previous collaboration “Shaun of the Dead” it has very quickly gained a cult following. “Hot Fuzz” satirises American action films in a way that an American satire would not. Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg don’t simply spoof the plot threads and the car chases. They know the smaller details of Hollywood’s formula, as they exemplify with its continuous references to the scene in Point Break where Keanu Reeves fires his gun into the sky in anger and the scene in Bad Boys II where Martin Lawrence, in a circling tracking shot, says, S*** just got real.” Not only do they tackle those less clear characteristics of Hollywood, they also perfectly portray people who talk about awesome scenes in action movies, hilariously by Nick Frost. Eye catching, country unique design cleverly using the Union Jack flag as a backdrop for our heroes – Nicholas Angel (Pegg) & Danny Butterman (Frost). his excellent rolled example displays superbly and represents a super example of cinema memorabilia.

    Trivia: As this is the second part of the Cornetto Trilogy, the blue wrapper makes its appearance in the film. Nick and Danny are seen eating vanilla flavor ice cream. According to Edgar Wright, blue represents the police, which is the main motif in the film. For Wright’s other films, Shaun of the Dead (2004), it was red and strawberry flavor, representing blood and zombies, while the final part, The World’s End (2013), it was green and peppermint with chip, representing science fiction and extraterrestrial elements.

    House of 1000 Corpses

    £275.00

    “The most shocking tale of carnage ever seen.”

    “House of 1000 Corpses” is a stylish, gore-laden 2003 offering which marks the directorial debut of Trash/Industrial Artist Musician Rob Zombie.

  • I Shot Andy Warhol Movie Poster

    I Shot Andy Warhol

    £125.00

    “You only get one shot at fame.”

    One of the most impressive ‘arthouse’ film posters of recent memory; a true visual pop art masterpiece featuring Lili Taylor (playing Valerie Jean Solanas) shooting a revolver all in the style of an Andy Warhol screen printed canvas. The one-sheet of Mary Harron’s controversial true-life documentary for “I Shot Andy Warhol” is a piece of art in its own right. The US imagery although similar to the British design, which is in block colour, is actually in black and white and because of this you I think it’s the more pleasing design and you would be hard pressed to find a better looking poster. Being an independent ‘arthouse’ film meant it was shown in a very small, limited amount of cinemas, making these posters are incredibly hard to come by. Totally original and unrestored this rolled (as issued) poster example displays to exceptional effect and represents a superb example of genuinely scarce modern film memorabilia.

    Trivia: The filmmakers were given permission to reproduce some of Andy Warhol’s paintings and silk screens for the set, but they had to destroy them after filming.

  • In-Like-Flint-Movie-Poster

    In Like Flint

    £275.00

    “FLINT’S BACK In Action…In Danger…In the Virgin Islands…Where the Bad Guys…Are Girls !”

    A very cool, stylish film poster from the mid 1960’s that perfectly typifies the period and the style of the artist; Bob Peak. A beautiful UK quad film poster for Gordon Douglas’ 1967 super-spy, James Bond parody sequel “In Like Flint”. This really is a fantastic looking poster ‘of the time’ – focusing on the star; James Coburn in his role as the super suave secret agent Derek Flint with colourful ‘swinging sixties’ stylised artwork. Peak’s similar film posters (“Modesty Blaise”, “Gambit”, “Our Man Flint” share this common style and concentrate on the stars all colourfully delineated then offset against a pale background. It is a style that works well and certainly impresses. Because of the white background (which marks easily & highlights the slightest defect) this poster is hard to find in high grade condition. The originally folded (as issued) unrestored example offered here has some very minimal handling & age wear but colours are bright and unfaded and the background a true bright white with no shading/ghosting to the fold lines. A fine investment grade piece that represents a very collectable piece of desirable original movie memorabilia.
