But seriously, shouldn't Thief of Bagdad posters be going down in value soon, since most young folks don't watch silent films and probably don't know who Douglas Fairbanks is? Heck, they probably don't even know who Wheeler and Woolsey are!!!
(OK, I admit...I'd never heard of Wheeler and Woolsey until a few weeks ago.)

Smooth move, di Caprio, identifying the poster you're going for *before* you buy it. Thanks for shooting off your mouth and immediately driving the price on *any* original Thief of Baghdad poster to astronomical heights.
I wanted to buy one too, maybe, someday... but I'm guessing this little stunt just put it out of my reach forever, no matter how well I end up doing.

Subject: [MOPO] Stars and Posters
Hi from Joe Bonelli.
I just ran across this quote from actor/super-star Leonardo di Caprio:
"I don't really have many extravagances. I don't fly private jets and I don't have bodyguards and I don't buy crazy things. I have a couple of houses here and there. I bought a very expensive watch, and I am going to buy a really expensive movie poster, the original for The Thief of Baghdad. I love movie posters."
Let's hope that Leo develops more of a love for movie posters. He and others with influence in the industry can do much to help preserve these historic treasures.
Has anyone on the list heard of any other stars or Hollywood "powers" who are poster fans??
