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.

That one of the construction workers on the empire state building, sitting on a girder above the city having their lunch

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.

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.

Every time I see that poster I get queasy. No such thing as health and safety back then.

Seriously hot poster. Many's the fap I had to that.

It's classy though, not trashy.
