And it’s both leads who feature on this beautiful one-sheet. The artwork is really quite stunning and sadly unattributed.This romantic comedy has gained a certain cult following over the years and has withstood the test of time very well. Genuinely heart warming and as a poster a rare find. Originally rolled (as issued) this unrestored example displays and presents to excellent effect. Hugely popular with a large and loving fan-base the original film poster offered here represents a a very collectable piece of British (well Scottish) movie memorabilia.
Trivia: First film score composed by Mark Knopfler. Knopfler provided not only the main score, mostly consisting of classical guitar (which would become his cinematic trademark for The Princess Bride (1987)), but filled the fast-fingered country guitar licks during the KNOX radio station announcement while Mac is driving in the film’s opening. The film’s soundtrack scored by former Dire Straits member, Mark Knopfler, sold better than the movie itself helped launch Knopfler’s career as a film composer.

“A battle fought in the stars, now… comes to Earth.”
Twenty years before Transformers, Iron Man, Captain America and Thor came He-Man, Skeletor and the world of Eternia as the Mattel toys and cartoon series were magically transported to the big screen in Gary Goddard’s fantasy adventure “Masters of the Universe”. Boasting some of the finest fantasy art seen on a movie poster, this original 1987 UK quad by Jean Mascii, certainly impresses with He-Man himself (Dolph Lundgren) taking prominence as Skeletor (Frank Langella) is positioned menacingly over his shoulder. Presented in excellent original rolled (as issued) condition with strong vibrant colours it represents one of the best examples of collectable, cinematic movie memorabilia we have offered from the 1980s.
Trivia: Meg Foster said that she based her character on Shakespeare’s Lady Macbeth. In the film’s beginning, she is a pantomime villainess but obviously deeply in love with Skeletor. As the storyline progresses, she gradually comes to realise that he does not truly care for her. In the end, she abandons him to his fate, her withdrawal of her forces leads to his eventual defeat. In Foster’s opinion, the character progresses from evildoer to scorned woman to tragic heroine

A classic and scarce original 2019 BFI 50th Anniversary 4K release British UK quad film poster for John Schlesinger’s multi Award winning “Midnight Cowboy”, still the only X-Rated movie to win an Oscar.

“After developing an addiction to the substance he uses to kill bugs, an exterminator accidentally kills his wife and becomes involved in a secret government plot being orchestrated by giant bugs in a port town in North Africa.”
“Naked Lunch” is cult Canadian director David Cronenberg‘s semi-adaptation of the celebrated American writer William S. Burroughs‘ novel of the same name. The book, which is a collection of vignettes with little in the way of connecting narrative, was written in 1959 and several attempts had been made over the years to try and adapt it for the screen. The structure of the book meant crafting a coherent plot was a tall order for any screenwriter, so Cronenberg decided to try a slightly different approach. The resultant film features scenes and characters from the vignettes but blends them with a semi-biographical look at the process Burroughs went through to write the original book, and includes incidents and characters (albeit renamed) from his experiences during the Beat Generation literary movement of the 1950s. This original 1991 UK quad poster features a unique to the British release design that includes a close-up photograph of Weller’s character William Lee above a centipede. With its distinctive, eye-catching imagery this rolled (as issued) example presents to superb effect, providing a high quality and scarce film poster from one of Cinema’s most revered cult directors.
Trivia: The shooting of the author’s wife is not a fictional incident. Source novelist William S. Burroughs did indeed accidentally shoot his wife Joan in the head in 1951 in Mexico in a “William Tell” stunt that went disastrously wrong. Mexican law at the time meant that Burroughs only served thirteen days in prison for killing his wife.

The season ran from October 2022 to December 2022 with the series horror movies screened at the BFI Southbank and at special one-off special events nationwide. Any posters from this unique season of films are incredibly scarce with paper for the ‘bigger’ (they don’t get much bigger than “Night of the Living Dead”) titles extremely desirable. Designed using zombie silhouettes as they attack the hero – Duane Jones the UK quad promoting the NOTLD screening is a great looking horror poster, from the green title and detailing to the black and white imagery. This event and country unique UK quad is presented in excellent unrestored, originally rolled (as issued) condition.

“The Greek gods created a woman – Pandora. She was beautiful and charming and versed in the art of flattery. But the gods also gave her a box containing all the evils of the world. The heedless woman opened the box, and all evil was loosed upon us.”
One of the great silent films, Georg Wilhelm Pabst’s “Pandora’s Box” is renowned for its sensational storyline, sparkling Weimar-period setting and the legendary, lead performance from its iconic star Louise Brooks who is featured prominently on the poster imagery. As a general rule BFI re-release posters are incredibly scarce due to limited print runs and distribution, being shown in literally a handful of independent and ‘art-house’ cinemas with the updated imagery often superior to many of the original release designs. The rolled (as issued) UK quad offered here is from the 2020 digital restoration BFI release and displays to excellent effect with beautiful imagery and design; lovely bright bold colours. A fantastic looking item and a fine piece of cinema memorabilia for a true classic of the silent era.
Trivia: Despite being replaced by Louise Brooks at the last minute for the role of Lulu in Pandora’s Box (1929), Marlene Dietrich managed to snag another coveted role. Her removal from “Pandora’s Box” freed her up to play one of her most iconic roles, Lola Lola in Josef von Sternberg‘s The Blue Angel (1930).
