Movie Posters you wished you owned thread

I think I'd be good with the original Tron poster, I'm simple.

I'm glad running out of gas on the off ramp didn't put too much a damper on the day. thank goodness for CAA.

I wasn't even going to mention that!

Yeah, meeting Robin was a highlight, seems like a really cool guy!

Hey, have you heard anything more from Frank junior regarding possible prints of his dad's Bo Derek painting? I'm not sure how seriously he took us when we asked him about it at the museum, but I would definitely buy one!

Let's contact the Frazetta Museum a few weeks before we go out there again. I've NEVER seen that poster anywhere else and would love to get it.

*sigh* Dyanne didn't make it to the show, apparently she fell off a horse the day before and the airline wouldn't let her on the plane. Too bad, the poster dealers had plenty of Ilsa merchandise and I definitely would have bought a poster or lobby card for her to sign. Between that, Doyle (Misfits guitarist) cancelling his planned Q&A and the high admission price considering the size of the show, it was a bit disappointing. Had a lot of fun hanging out with Mr. Noir though.

We did get to meet and chat with Robin Bougie though, and picked up the second volume of his book on classic adult movie posters. He also had an Ilsa Poster he had done for the show, I picked it up hoping I could get it signed by her at Horror-Rama in the fall, but it looks like I'll be out of country then.

If anyone near central Ohio is looking to add to his/her collection, this is a good weekend for it. Cinevent is in town:

"Dealers fill over a hundred tables full of film, video, sound recordings, posters, stills, lobby cards, books, autographs...everything imaginable associated with film."

Oh well. I've been going to the Nerdfest aka Fanexpo for many, many years now with a good friend. It's not the comic book scores or the celebs we meet that make these events special. It just comes down to hanging out with a good friend and having fun (and occasional shenanigans). I think the idea that these big events bring folks together on a larger scale might be mistaken. But they definitely brings us closer to our friends, new and old.

Yep, I agree with that! But I might be done with Fanexpo, I used to regularly attend (before I had actually met anyone on this board) but it's so crowded and expensive these days, think I'll stick to smaller shows. Hey, you should try to make it to Mego North in Burlington this fall!

This!! I love Superargo!

Sharry is it this one you have?

Bingo! Yep, that's it. Thanks Brian.

I would love this one:


but I'm holding out for one drawn by Frazetta that we saw at the Frazetta Museum a couple of years ago.

You and me both sir!

Is that second Tarzan poster Richard Corben?
Also, how was shock stock? Did you give Dyanne Thorne a peck on the cheek?

Definitely not Corben, there is a signature but I can't make it out.

I like this one too

A lot of really beautiful stuff mentioned here already. I haven't ventured into poster territory yet, but I have been collecting lobby cards for the last few years. Not full sets, just ones that I like. The other day I picked up a few from Hollywood Canteen in Toronto, a Hammer Abominable Snowman, a Dr. Terror's House of Horrors, and one from Videodrome. I like to get them signed when I can, one of my favorites is this Queen of Blood card that John Saxon signed. Pictured is the card itself, not the one I have signed. http://d1g4sq00ps2bp3.cloudfront.net...nt/22755_8.jpg

Hollywood Canteen was set-up at Shock-Stock this past weekend. Cjefferys and I went through a bunch of their cool posters and bins of lobby cards. They generally have some great deals. Amazing selection of stuff.

I just love looking at old movie posters, no matter whether the movie is worth a crap or not. If I had room, I'd hang all of these up in my house!

I recently got this repro of Curse of the Werewolf poster, one of my favorite Hammer flicks. I haven't had a chance to hang it up yet...but soon.



If I could own only one classic Universal Monster poster, it would probably one of these two, just for the design of them. I know Kirk Hammett owns originals, per his awesome book:
