One of the best posters at this sort of price ($100 maybe a little more) is the daybill, and I would say Godfather, Jaws, Empire Strikes Back (Green art), Untouchables and quite a few others are very much overlooked.
This never happened to the other fella. -----Original Message----- From: Phil Edwards <[email protected]> To: MoPo-L <[email protected]> Sent: Sun, 21 Aug 2011 22:01 Subject: Re: [MOPO] Posters worth owning... 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. phil ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Evans To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, August 22, 2011 6:13 AM Subject: Re: [MOPO] Posters worth owning... Always, thought Amsel art on the extremely cheapo The Late Show very nice. On 21 Aug 2011, at 20:54, Neil Jaworski wrote: 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.

To: [email protected] Date: Sunday, 21 August, 2011, 20:27 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: http://movieposters.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=161134&lotNo=54402&lotIdNo=19016 Happy collecting.
