Probably my most beautiful Bardot to date...
Tradita (aka Haine, Amour et Trahison, aka Night of Love) (1954, Italian 4 Foglio, 55x78in) (Art by Anselmo Ballester)

Bonnie and Clyde (1967, French 8 panels, 120x160in) (Art by René Ferracci)

Sick of Bardot yet? Don't be, for there is more to come (way more, hopefully).
Today's acquisition...

...joins the rest of my collection on Le Repos du Guerrier (Love on a Pillow, 1962)







December 8, 2011
A little obsessed with Bardot lately... I guess there are worse things to be obsessed about. Today, I acquired a few US lobby card sets. In order...
Les Bijoutiers du Clair de Lune (The Night Heaven Fell - 1958), Babette S'En Va en Guerre (Babette Goes to War - 1960), Voulez-Vous Danser avec Moi (Come Dance With Me - 1960), Vie Privée (A Very Private Affair - 1962), Le Repos du Guerrier (Love on a Pillow - 1962), Viva Maria! (1965) and A Coeur Joie (Two Weeks in September - 1967)

Ah... Claude Jade.
Not only is Baisers Volés (Stolen Kisses) my favorite François Truffaut movie, but one of my favorite French movies, period.
And this US poster is definitely the best for the movie, which is an anomaly by itself..

Futures Vedettes (School for Love)
For my burgeonning Brigitte Bardot collection, this gorgeous (the picture doesn't do it justice) French poster (1955, 47x63in, on linen)

November 2, 2011
1966's Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo. Lots of re-releases for this French poster drawn by Jean Mascii.. Arguably one of the best designs on the title. This is from the 1968 original French release.

October 26, 2011
Just bought this nice 6-sheet (81x81in) for Sergio Leone's C'Era una Volta il West ( Once Upon a Time in the West). One piece at a time, here's my little collection so far:







October 23, 2011
Got a Star Wars 40x60in tonight. I think it will look really good next to my Empire Strikes Back of the same size.


October 13, 2011
Laura (1944) (French 47x63in on linen)
And thus, it arrived. I'm quite excited about this one.

September 29, 2011
Nothing really exciting coming in, kinda bored... Waiting for my biggest poster EVER (should be here in a couple of weeks, super excited)... Til then, since I just acquired a rolled Australian poster, here are a few Jaws items from around the world...





















September 24, 2011
A few classics had new posters made in France this year. Here are some examples (all posters 47x63in):
Once Upon a Time in the West, The King of Comedy, Vivre Sa Vie, How to Steal a Million, Wild at Heart, Once Upon a Time in America, The Magnificent Seven, Badlands, Point Blank

American Horror Story (2011) (US Bus Shelters)
Although I have zero idea what this FX show is about, I find the US advertizing campaign top notch.

2 recent Argento acquisitions


Dario Argento most definitely is one of the world's greatest Masters of Horror.
I finally managed to get enough of his Italian posters to call it the beginning of a collection.








My last favorite purchases ( Not necessarily the most expensive, or the rarest, but the ones I care the most about)

12+1 (1969, French, 47x63in) - Sharon Tate's last movie was released posthumously (Was it originally called 13?)


Once Upon a Time in the West and The Conspirators (1968 and 1969, Italian 4-Foglios, 55x78in) - I love these 2 Claudia Cardinale posters, probably because she is so drop-dead gorgeous

Red Desert (1964, French, 47x63in) - Antonioni + Vitti = Masterpiece and great, great poster (probably one of my favs in quite a while)

Dr. No (1962, French, 15x30in) - One of the best Bond posters, IMO

Hi All, fellow collectors and visitors...
Just a few notes about this collection of original movie posters:
1) It is a work in progress. Money is an issue and I am only including pictures of posters I personally own. I keep adding them up on a weekly basis.
2) These posters are not for sale. I started collecting movie paper in 2001 and quickly amassed more than 5,000 US one sheets, British quads, French (47x63in) and other foreign posters, that ended up in tubes where I could never see them. So my wife created this website for my own personal gratification and enjoyment. It was the simplest way for me to look at my posters without unrolling them and risking to damage them.
3) I live in Los Angeles and work at a studio where I made a lot of contacts. Thus I end up getting a lot of the newer posters for free. I keep them notheless and included them to my collection. I'll let you guess which ones!
4) I have tried to organize this collection by themes (Academy Awards nominated pictures, Steven Spielberg films, Alfred Hitchcock films, James Bond films, Clint Eastwood films etc.), and by countries, French, German, Italian, Japanese and British posters (so far). As it turns out, foreign promotional campaigns are sometimes far superior to their American counterpart.
So I know this collection is not as amazing as some others I have seen, I do not have an original "Casablanca" or "Lawrence of Arabia" but I'm working at it.
Maybe if I work a little harder... Enjoy!
