Welcome

Good news, after about 2 years I have finally completed getting this site fully updated. Whilst I still keep my collection on a spreadsheet (which is updated every couple of months), the main problem was getting it transferred in plain text for this site. I'm pleased to say I finally managed to do this. The one problem I did have was fitting all the information on a single line as I couldn't spread the margins of the site any wider. So the information has been cut back to some degree and is a lot more basic. I have also corrected titles that start with either THE or A (for example) The Exorcist, can now be located under  E for (Exorcist, The). Under F you will find (Fistful of Dollars, A), all such titles have now been changed. It's worth explaining that some items, such as posters may state 'Original', this does not mean that other posters not marked this way are reprints or reproductions.

ALL POSTERS ARE ORIGINALS. I have never been into commercial reproduction posters.

Some posters are marked as Inserts which can come from Australia (Daybill), Italy (Locandina), U.S.A (Insert) and Swedish Inserts etc. If more information is needed to answer your questions, please simply ask.


Also 'Press Still' may appear next to certain titles or stars, this does not indicate that there is just one singular still, it is there simply to describe what it is. For example, if a line reads

'Dirty Harry 1971 Document - Press Still' It may appear to read as one single still, when in fact that particular title consists of 104 stills.


Some titles of course, may consist of just a single still, but titles can range from 1 still to over 100.

If you are interested in anything for your project, need specifics or more information regarding anything on this site, simply leave a comment in the correct area and I will get back to you.
I hope you enjoy.
