For this re-creation, you'll need to know that an APF member named "Crazy Vick" told me about a poster shop on Maui just before I visited. I was trying to watch my spending---but he was playing devil's advocate and betting I would spend--a LOT! Ha!

Hey Crazy Vick, you'll be happy to know I came, I saw, I LEFT withOUT buying a thing. It was a nice little store with some beautiful things (ZOWIE!!). However, they were all well out of my price range and all were linen backed (NOT my thing at all). See below (sorry the pictures are not that great and one is blurry...)
CHEERS!

My last posting was not that exciting.This one has some duds in it too, but also has a super coup (well, for ME it is) that I am very excited about. But my spending spree has pretty much wound down. I have ONE more post after this and then I'm out for a while again. But let's see what I have now:
INFERNO (Turkish):
I've been wanting a poster for Argento's "INFERNO" for a long, long time. I was holding out for a US one sheet, but there never seemed to be any available (of course, I've since found out that even though it was planned to have a US release, it NEVER did. Ha!). This is the Turkish release--and they've taken the basic Italian art and added a few things. I probably should have just went with the Italian (If I could find one), but this is what was available when I was looking.
DAMIEN: OMEN II (Turkish):
The US version is sooo blah. This is much more interesting. I still want to get the Turkish poster for the first "OMEN" flick. I haven't seen the posters for 3 & 4...
DUEL (Spanish):
I was also hoping for a US one sheet of this flick. I know it was a TV movie, but I do also know it later had a theatrical release. I got the Spanish version. Whoohoo.
FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE (Spanish):
I already have the US (80s re-release) version, but stumbled upon this Spanish one that was not too expensive. Why not?
BATMAN (Spanish):
The 60s BATMAN has been on my mind a lot lately (probably because I am re-watching the series again on DVD--Ha!) I really want the US one sheet, but have yet to get one. Saw this 1979 Spanish re-release and thought what the heck?
BATMAN (Begian):
Then I saw this gorgeously colored Belgian version. Ooooo. Sold! This is not the actual poster I got. The photo of it was funky, so I borrowed this photo from the internet in its place. Pow! Bam! Zowie!
LINDA LOVELACE FOR PRESIDENT:
This is the dud o' the day. I have no idea why I felt compelled to by this. Snore...
FOR YOUR EYES ONLY:
I know I have all of the Bond posters (with the exception of the new SPECTRE). However, my copies of this one and one other have flaws that I can NOT live with so I need to replace them. I have probably already replaced them...but I'm not sure. Hmm. I have this one now--and it's posted here--so I can refer back and see it and not bid on any others in the future. That leaves just one more to track down (if I haven't done so already) AND the Spectre poster...
THE STRANGER WORE A GUN: Another vintage 3D poster from the 50s! Yippie! Kind of lackluster--and I'm not big on westerns, but whatever.
PSYCHO (re-release):
Okay--so it's a re-release. But it's in great shape and I'll never get an original. I fought hard to get this one too. Yikes! Spent more than I meant to, but wanted/needed it. Now I just need to sell my house so I can pay for it. Ha!
CHEERS!
