Re: [MOPO] Changed tastes

Great subject.  I started with Bogie because I've adored him since I was a child.  My grandfather looked and sounded like him.  Needless to say, Bogie paper runs high so I can't get as much as I like.  I then started buying silent movie posters.  I pretty much stay with stone lithos and try not to buy beyond the 30's or it will get out of hand.

I have my noir collection in my husband's office along with bad girl and schlocky 50's monsters.  The furniture is 50's, etc.  So that way I can justify going beyond my boundary.  I have the KILLER SHREWS in the office which was beautifully linenbacked and restored by Susan Olson and it was in crappy shape. 

Of course, occassionallly I'll buy contemporary such as:  Taxi Driver, DS advance of UNFORGIVEN and anything on the IRON GIANT.

Thankyou for the reply Philipp, good to hear from you.

 

Yes it is a lot of fun, I recently got a Schlock (the water color Image of an Ape carryin a Blonde girl off, the look on his face is so Lascivous and goofy )  I cant help  but crack up!

and then up will go Lady Frankenstein.

yes I love arty campy stuff as well and have recently gotten into Stone Litho  Caberet posters and fruit crate labels recently found (fruit crate label)  from the 30's titled the Gay Cock (it’s a rooster) but it just slays me,

This week hanging on my easel I am back to bette Davis "Payment on Demand"

"I made Him Now Ill Break Him"

Subject: [MOPO] Changed tastes

When I first started collecting movie posters, I was pretty much stuck in a Paradigm (as was my movie Viewing)

only Film Noir and B/W classics.

I wouldn’t even look at anything that didn’t have Bogie or Mitchum, Bette Davis or many of the others,

Now I am buying posters for Yog and Schlock, Vampyres, Warhols Blood for Dracula, Frankenstein, Plan 9 from Outer Space 

I have watched movies lately that I had never heard of before, many of the above but also many many Giallos,

The Horrors of Spider Island, Brides of Blood etc, and I cant seem to get enough!

Horror Hotel sheesh!

 

Movies that are so bad theyre good and posters that maybe only cost me 20 bucks

So my question is do you find that after many years of collecting that your tastes have changed and

gone from a rather rigid position to a more affiable and fun loving place?
