Re: [MOPO] Best Movie Poster in your collection

[Vaughn K. Mann]

I have to tune in on the theme,

Warner Bros had a very unique style that you "couldn't miss" during, at least, the 50's. I think my favorite because of the gorgeous earth colors and WB style is THE SEARCHERS. However, as a studio, I think WB had the most "together" graphic of the time.........Many of you, perhaps, might pick MGM, or Universal Intternational and especially RKO, all of which were obvious in graphic ( you could identify the studio from 30 feet)........But, "The Searchers" is my favorite goodie...............Vaughn

Mine is my Friday the 13th US one-sheet. Not the most valuable poster in the world, but it's been signed by about 10 cast and crew members, and holds a special place in my heart. I've got about 2-3 more sigs to get on it and then I'm going to have it backed and framed.
 
Cheers,
Erik

My "Horrors of The Black Museum" Half Sheet my brother bought me.

 

First Movie Poster I ever owned. I used to stay up late at night watching the old Chiller Theater movies on wwor channel 9 here in NY in the 1960's (anybody remember the 6 fingered hand sinking into the ooze at the opening of Chiller Theater?).

 

One day my brother came home and said  "look what I found" and the rest is history. I own and have owned a lot of other great posters over the years, but that first movie poster that started it all is my prized possession.
