Having been a university first year in 1996, I never want to see a Trainspotting or Pulp Fiction poster again...

Fave poster: I don't know.

Thought it was gonna be another 'boardsies I admire' ego-fest...

Mint Sauce

The trainspotting poster with this quoted on,

Choose life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, Choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players, and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol and dental insurance. Choose fixed- interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisure wear and matching luggage. Choose a three piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who you are on a Sunday morning. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing sprit- crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pishing you last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked-up brats you have spawned to replace yourself. Choose your future. Choose life...

Miss that poster, lost it when moved house.

The King of Moo

Some favourite film posters:

Frankenstein

Anatomy of a Murder

Alien

Metropolis

Rosemary's Baby

Vertigo

The Phantom Menace

Metropolis

The Invisible Man

Biggins

There's a favourite one which hangs on my bedroom wall.
Can't post a link to it though (would break forum rules), its adult material.

We (wife and I) have other posters around our home though that relate to Star Wars, Firefly/Serenity and Buffy/Angel films and TV programs.
(A lot of the cast of all, we know.)
Rather than have standard house-fare anonymous paintings, we prefer stuff on our walls that is part of our life.

slavetothegrind

like that starwars episode 1, never seen that before

slavetothegrind

ah biggins, you can tell without linking!

Curious as i seem to remember you have children?

It really got me psyched up for the film, which naturally was more than a bit of a letdown.

That poster's the best thing about The Phantom Menace!

slavetothegrind

yeah i couldn't even finish watching it i was that dissapointed.

It could have been so great!

one of the true great horror films, the remake was not as good as the original

thanks there poster of same name for the reminder, may watch that tonight!

Kiss by Tanya, remember when the print first came out and it was all controversial and it flooded magazines and newspapers which probably only served to help make it one of the biggest selling posters ever.

Sergio Leone's first choice for Eastwood's role in the 'Dollars' trilogy was Henry Fonda. James Woods (another of my favourite actors) said that working with Leone on "Once Upon A Time In America" was the highlight of his career. And a common theme throughout his films is the passage of time - from the early days of the pioneers to the building of the railways to the Mexican revolution and the age of prohibition.

Before his death Leone was working on the plans for a film based on the siege of Leningrad - in my opinion this has to be one of the greatest losses to cinema ever. I have no doubt it would have been an epic.

They say the same thing about Kubrick. He was working on a film about Napoleon. It was meant to be his masterpiece, he'd planned it since 2001: A space Odyssey. After seeing Barry Lyndon, (which I loved unlike others) with it's beautiful cinematography I can't help but feel this would have been a masterpeice.

Absolutely. Fonda is just unreal as the villain. It was so unusual to see him play a baddie as he was associated with decent, noble characters. He is just chilling in this though! Morricone music is awesome too.

As you look at the men from left to right, numbers 1, 10 and 11 are all from Galway. I remember one of them being confirmed as such about 3 or 4 years ago. He was from near Gort. Not sure about the other 2.

1 = Matty O'Shaughnessy
10 = Thomas Naughton
11 = Patrick "Sonny" Glynn

And there are 2 other names that are Irish (Raftery and Donahue) but I'm not sure if they were first generation or what.

I that poster.

Even aside from the body featured being very beautiful, it's just a great composition, very intimate. The girl featured wasn't a model, she was the photographer's girlfriend at the time.
