i love cinema posters there are so many hard to choose.

First film we went to actually see at a cinema that I can remember was Mary Poppins but all time: Day of the trifids and war of the world both old school

I couldn’t find the exact one I was thinking of but it was something like this

There are lots of minor variations depending on the particular exposition, all are good works of art IMHO

hahah was just thinking the same but mine would be a mix of a few folks.

I go back even further in my favorites (note all my books on Posters on amazon.com). I have over 18,000 images in my files yes, Eighteen Thousand so definitely not an easy choice although I admit to not keeping photographic posters as I was an commercial artist myself, so a prejudiced in favour of people who used pencils, pens and brushes, which puts my appreciation more in the pre-War days and earlier Overall the Munich School stand out Hohlwein, Hans Rudi Erd etc. The Italians produced the most brilliant ‘works of art’, As I write I am just sorting out a couple: How do you add an image here?

Norman hello - one of the ways to add an image is to upload it from your computer using the ‘up-arrow’ 38 in the reply / edit box
