Always, thought Amsel art on the extremely cheapo The Late Show very
nice.

Hi Evan, thanks for this, we needed a new thread.
Sheesh, I remember when there used to be 2 or 3 simultaneous threads
discussing movie posters on MOPO, but this was 3 or 4 years ago
now. Now all we seem to get is score-settling and the rattling of
the stick inside the swill bucket.
A thread about 'lesser' titles is a good one. In some ways I'm
grateful that my Night Train To Munich (1940) 1sh has a rather
prosaic, muted, photo-led look, because if it was colourfully garish
and noiry it would be massively expensive.
There are still undervalued bargains out there. I agree with Peter
re: Judgement at Nuremberg and would add The Manchurian Candidate
and Thelma Jordon.

One of the best parts of this hobby is that for every $1000 poster
there are hundreds of hidden gems for less than $100. Often these
are lesser titles with great stars, lesser images from great films,
historic (or dated) titles have lost their appeal, or great artwork
from obscure films or by great artists.
I feel that these titles really add depth to good collection -- and
have been adding them over the years to mine.
In general I would not bring these to your attention (for the
obvious reason that I don't to bid against you), however one of my
favorites is at Heritage this week -- perhaps the most affordable
James Montgomery Flagg poster available (read more about this
incredible illustrator at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Montgomery_Flagg)
, and see the poster at:

Happy collecting.
Evan
