These are the posters that I am interested in adding to my collection -- original releases only please! No reprints, reproductions, master prints or whatever-prints. I will consider any country of release, but I tend to focus on US releases, followed by interesting international and, specifically, Japanese releases. This list is kept up-to-date, so rest assured that you are not wasting your time in sending me an email offering some, one, or all of these to me.
I do not waste people's time! I pay fair prices! All contacts will receive a grateful response from me!
When double sided versions are available, that is all I will purchase. Otherwise, I will consider single sided versions for purchase. I have two light boxes in my home theater, and the double sided versions are all that display well in those. This caveat usually makes a difference when dealing with independents, so many of which are single sided.
I also enjoy lenticular posters if well-executed. I have five at this point: Monster House, The Chronicles of Narnia, Spiderman 3, Species 2 (not the video release, but the real theatrical release), and Zathura.
Posters I am Interested in Buying (Last Updated 8/18/08)
8/18/08 Update. Managed to find a nice B2 of Breakfast on Pluto. Though not listed here, it reminds me that posters for that movie remain an active want. Everything listed is still active.
6/2/08 Update. Found a good copy of the rarer "2 1/2 hours" version of the poster for Grindhouse. It'll be here soon! (4/18/07. This is the recalled version with 2 1/2 hours. Must be original, double sided, and reasonably priced.)
Previous Updates
10/13/06 Update: Just in time for Friday the 13th, I received earlier today (actually the 12th of October, but who's counting) my very own Spiderman 3 Lenticular. I'm very pleased! Now, I'm hoping to pick up a lenticular of Nightmare Before Christmas just in time for Halloween! BOO!
10/16/06 Update: I've added a want for the Brit Quad of Arthur and the Invisibles which I just saw on impawards.com.
1/23/07 Update: I've removed some old language about lenticular wants. I've updated showing the current lenticulars I own. I'm in the process of updating the entire site. Work got really busy lately (which is good), and I fell behind in posting many purchases. I've deleted some of the wants I've since acquired, and I've added one that was not there for the quad of Breakfast on Pluto. I trusted supplier sent me a picture of his copy, and I like it very much. Happy new year to all!
2/11/07 Update: I've cleaned up the page in my effort to make the whole site consistent in font size, etc. I've only added on poster - that for Stargate in a French version. Yes, all those still listed are still wanted!
2/16/07 Update: A few days ago, someone from the Movie Poster Forum contacted me, and as a result, I was able to purchase the Quad for Star Wards AOTC that I had listed in the wanted section. So, one down and many to go! I've added a few, including a Nightmare Before Christmas 3D which I had not seen until someone from the Forum posted a pic of what appears to be the printers proof for the poster. I don't know if it exists in a regular release, but if it does, please contact me. I've also added an advertising poster for AMC's Monstermania. I have one other AMC ad poster which I like. That's all for now....
2/28/07 Update: I recently purchased Monstermania, and I'm pleased. But I'll tell you, they guy who sold it to me was no dealer. Amazingly, the poster arrived undamaged. It was wrapped in a hefty bag and was taped with gauze tape then stuffed into a tube. Even the poster itself was taped with gauze! I'm thankful it arrived alive. I've also added the other versions of the onesheets for The Prestige. You can see my comments there. Finally, added the German version of Run Lola Run.
3/18/07 Update. I purchased the yellow version of The Notorious Bettie Page. I also FINALLY purchased a nice copy of the Australian version of Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock from Posteropolis (really good sellers - I've bought from them several times). The rest of the wanted list is still active, especially those Babylon 5 posters and advertising posters that I'm always after.
4/1/07 Update: I've finally found a copy of Breakfast on Pluto (quad). I'd like to get the other paper for this move, so I've added that.
4/9/07 Update: I've added a number of posters that I'm not now on the hunt for. I emphasize that if you see it on this page, it is an active want, even if the dates is a bit older (as listed above). Once I acquire a poster that's listed here, I remove it the day of purchase.
That said, this update adds: Apocalypse Now in the B1, the US, Japanese and Korean paper for Breakfast on Pluto, the Japanese paper for Children of Men, the rarest quad for The Fifth Element, an interesting poster for Gremlins, an advertising poster for Industrial Light and Magic, a Japanese Kill Bill, Lolita, the Japanese paper for The Nightmare Before Christmas, Ringu 0 Japanese paper, A River Runs Through it in the B1, three different polish Star Wars posters, the US and international paper for Supernova, and a B1 (if it exists) for the Usual Suspects.
4/19/07 Update: No deletions from the list, only additions including: the Solange and Vesper doublesided onesheets for Casino Royale, another Polish Star Wars poster, and the recalled version of Grindhouse.
5/20/07 Update: I was able to locate the UK character set of 3 for Casino Royale, so the wants for Vesper and Solange have been removed -- the paper, that is ;-) I've added a quad for Almost Famous, and the onesheets for Disturbia, Premonition and The Virgin Suicides.
6/12/07 Update: Deleted Disturbia and the regular version of Supernova. Looking for other interesting Supernova material, including international. (4/9/07. From Supernova listing. I recently watched this movie again, and I really like it. I'd like to collect any paper for it, and I guess I'll start with the US paper pictured here.) (5/20/07. From Disturbia listing. Not that it's hard to get, I just haven't gotten around to getting it yet.)
Deleted Heart of Gold (10/5/06: Still looking for a minty DS copy.)
6/24/07 Update: Acquired the quad for Almost Famous about 10 days ago and I'm waiting for it to arrive. Acquired the Japanese B0 for Apocalypse now a few days ago (very pleased!).
June 27, 2007 Update: Finally was able to locate one of these through my French connection. It's even better in person. Thanks Alexis! (From the original FA listing: This appears to be the french version, and I don't know what sizes it comes in. I found this on another website. If it exists, it's great art that I'd love to add to my collection.)
9/12/07 Update: Deleted Saw and Saw II Blood Drive posters. At long last, I located those. Now, I need the Saw III set and the upcoming Saw IV!
8/4/07 Update: Nothing added or removed. All are still current wants.
7/24/07 Update: Found copies of Ghost in the Shell and the German for Run Lola Run (wanted from 2/28/07).
2/28/08: The want for Breakfast on Pluto has been updated. I bought an Australian onesheet, but it's single sided and it has that damnable Aussie snipe on it. I still want a double sided version, if it exists.
1/15/08: Nothing taken off the list -- these are all current wants.
12/17/07 Update: Deleted the Fifth Element Quad on board -- the rare one. I was very fortunate to find one. It cost more to ship the damned thing from the UK that the cost of the poster (well , about the same actually). I'm pleased. (From the old listing: 4/9/07. Quad. I know this is highly elusive. I did not even know it existed until a fellow collector told me about it.) Deleted the three Saw III Blood Drive posters I acquired recently (the ones with the shot of one woman), leaving the two versions each with three women (From the old listing: 10/5/06: One of a set of five. This and the following pics show two side by side pics, identical except for the Red Cross symbol. The Red Cross insisted that it be removed, and it was in the later print
5/11/08 Update: Nothing's changed. I really should add some more current wants, but I just don't have the time right now. Everthing listed is a current want.
4/25/08 Update: It's nice that people actually read the wanted page once in awhile! Someone contacted me with information about a few of the posters for Clerks 2 that I had listed, and I was able to get them. Now, the only one that eludes me, if it exists, is the one with Rosario Dawson. (10/5/06: I don't know if these character posters exist for this movie, but I saw them on impawards.com)
