Re: [MOPO] Best Poster Find!!

[Craig Goebel]

ok - some people are nuts for bad 50s sci-fi flix posters, strange but true. But where are the people declaiming that their best find is Cool Hand Luke? It is regularly the subject of intense bidding and goes for several hundreds of dollars. Why? Virtually no other Newman than Butch/Kid sells for anything. It's a good flick sure, but no award for the star, though George Kennedy got one. The poster's a few ziggy orange lines with a poor pic of Paul, so what gives? There are some others like this. There is no accounting for taste of course.
