The Original Movie Posters Blog - Art of the Movies

Wherever there are items of value, there will be people trying to take advantage. The world of movie posters is no different.

From Star Wars to Pulp Fiction, from Back To The Future to Apocalypse Now, reproductions, bootlegs and fakes have surfaced for many collectible titles.

This week, we take a look at a poster that the seller insisted was an original UK quad for the 50th Anniversary release of The Beatles' first film, A Hard Day's Night.

Independence Day, Romeo + Juliet, The Usual Suspects… we had some big hitters in Part One, so which movies will make up the Top 15 as we continue our Journey to the Centre of the Nineties?

We have been lapping up 1980's nostalgia for over two decades but what about the 1990's?

Lee Adams decided that they needed a bit of love and set off to pick thirty movies that define the decade as a whole. Not necessarily the best movies of the decade, but the most ‘90s.

Here is part 1. Do you agree with him?

Other than Chris Rock receiving a slap in the kisser from Will Smith, another major talking point at last month's Oscars was the under performance of the revisionist western The Power of the Dog.

The revisionist western has been around far longer than the genre it was revising in the first place, so this week, Lee Adams puts on his Stetson and picks his ten favourites..

Cinema has seen the future, and it usually sucks.

Last Christmas we even celebrated the second coming of Neo and Trinity in The Matrix Resurrections, which got Lee Adams thinking about the best (or is the worst?) of dystopian movie fantasy…

In a previous playlist we shared our favourite relaxing movie music. But this week, we think that everyone could do with a bit of a lift, so here are our Greatest Hits of the Movies!

From Elton John and Queen to Lou Reed and Louis Armstrong, these are the songs that made it big in the movies, and the pop chart!

Jim Carrey made us all feel really old by recently turning sixty!

So we thought now would be a great time for our own Ace Film Detective, Lee Adams, to take a look back at the rubber-faced man's eventful career…

The early reviews are coming in and they are fantastic!

As Robert Pattinson slips on his mask and picks up the keys to the Batmobile, we share a few special images from Warner Bros' The Batman and take a quick look at previous film incarnations of the Caped Crusader!

Many of the posters on our website are described as being 'Linen backed'. It isn't a term you hear frequently and we are often asked what it means.

So, for this special article, we have teamed up with paper conservators Stubbs Conservation to look at the rationale and process of conserving a movie poster through Linen Backing.
