Hi Rick- Those are all Warner Brothers titles. I seem to remember a few years ago seeing a catalog from the Warner's store where they were selling one sheets on Dirty Harry, Rebel Without a Cause, etc. all were rolled and on glossy paper- and with the exception of Rebel (which was never issued on a glossy stock) these posters were identical to the originals except no NSS stamp on the back. Of course that would be easy to reproduce as well.
