Collection Notes

Collect original movie posters from the 1970s

The 1970s feel so important because they catch cinema in the act of changing direction. Studio habits were loosening, director-led film-making was gaining authority, and genres such as horror, science fiction, crime and thriller were being reimagined with greater seriousness, risk and style. The posters tied to those films often carry the same sense of transition and sharpened intent.

That makes the decade especially rewarding for collectors who care about film history as much as image. These are not simply memorable campaigns, but posters attached to works that altered the course of American and international cinema. For collectors drawn to turning points, experimentation and original posters with real historical charge, the 1970s remain one of the great decades to pursue.

Original movie posters vs reproductions

An original movie poster was produced as part of a film’s theatrical advertising campaign. It is different from a later decorative print or reproduction. At Art of the Movies, we specialise in original cinema posters, lobby cards and movie stills, carefully checked and clearly described for collectors.
