Collecting by artists seems to be going out of fashion these days, except for
those Alamo Drafthouse posters which, personally, I don't care for at all.
We recently sold a NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH long daybill that was extremely nice.
It needed some white border work, but the artowrk was complete, and it went to
a very good home.

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
