[MOPO] FA: Looking for incredible deals on non-U.S. posters with no buyers premiums great combined shipping? We have 829 non-U.S. posters from 42 different countries closing in 12 hours with lots of
Are you tired of auctions for millionaires only where the items have a round up the usual suspects feel to them, and there is a pay retail or you can't buy philosophy behind the auctions, and the same items return to the auction block over and over and over? Well, we have the antidote for you! Three times *EVERY *week we auction hundreds of items that sell for low, low prices (we actually sell lots and lots of items for $1 and $2, and around half of all that we auction goes for $14 and under, and our leading competitor *NEVER* auctions a single item for less than *FIFTEEN DOLLARS*, due to their *outrageous* $14 minimum buyers premium). But Tuesday night's THE WORLD OF MOVIE POSTERS! 829 non-U.S. posters from 42 different countries, closing tonight, on *June 28th*, represent *REALLY* incredible values, and yet many of these are currently languishing at low, low, prices! With just 12 hours to go, the 829 non-U.S. posters from 42 different countries include a not-to-be-believed 29 with no bid at all, a preposterous 207 that are still languishing at just $1 each or have no bid, a monumental 339 that are $3 each and under, and a Mt Everest-like 441 that are $5 each and under! *THAT'S RIGHT, 55% OF THE ITEMS ARE $5 EACH OR UNDER (AND 40% ARE JUST $1, **$2** OR $3 EACH)**, and there are LOTS of titles that I guarantee you many dealers would ask $10, $20 or more for. This is the closest thing to free money I can imagine (especially since those in our club can purchase any 20 and get 18 books as a bonus)!* *HELLO! This is 2011 and I doubt you could have purchased many of these items for $5 (or far under) 20 years ago, and remember that this price is ONE THIRD (or much less) of the minimum buying price at those other auctions (thanks to their ludicrous $14 buyers premiums)! And you can get as many of these items as you want sent in one package anywhere in the U.S. for just $11 shipping for all (or actual cost anywhere else), EVEN IF you win 100 or more**! And if you are in our e-mail club (over 6,100 members), you get great added bonuses if you purchase 10 or 15 or 20 items (no matter how inexpensive)! * * * Of course, once you get *OVER* just $5, you start hitting lots and lots of better titles, but an awful lot of those are currently at *VERY*reasonable prices, far under what some of them have sold for in the past (the ones we can find any record of selling in the past!) including: 3b795 MY LIFE TO LIVE French 15x21 '62 Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa Vie, sexy smoking Anna Karina! 3b359 QUERELLE German '82 Fassbinder Jean Genet, Andy Warhol art! 3b250 RASHOMON Japanese 2p R62 Akira Kurosawa Japanese classic starring Toshiro Mifune! 3b242 CABARET Japanese 2p '72 Liza Minnelli sings dances in Nazi Germany, directed by Bob Fosse! 3b628 RUGGED O'RIORDANS Danish '52 Irish in Australian Outback, Sons of Matthew, Wenzel art! 3b177 THREE STRANGE LOVES Swedish '49 Ingmar Bergman's Torst, Eva Henning, great silhouette art! 3b019 PERSONA 4 Italian photobustas '66 Liv Ullmann Bibi Andersson, Ingmar Bergman classic! 3b078 ROLLERBALL faux style Australian 20x30 '75 wonderful completely different skating art! 3b246 L'AVVENTURA Japanese 2p '62 Michelangelo Antonioni, Gabriele Ferzetti, Monica Vitti! 3b264 NOSTALGHIA Russian 26x40 '88 Andrei Tarkovsky's Nostalghia, cool artwork of candle tower! 3b017 MY LIFE TO LIVE 3 Italian photobustas '62 Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre sa Vie, sexy Anna Karina! 3b364 TOKYO DRIFTER German '88 Seijun Suzuki's Tokyo nagaremono, Tetsuya Watari,Chieko Matsubara 3b193 HOSPITALS THE WHITE MAFIA Cuban '75 Luigi Zampa, Bachs art of body dollar signs! 3b207 INDIANA JONES THE TEMPLE OF DOOM Czech 23x33 '89 different art of Ford skull by Pecak! 3b209 LE MEPRIS Czech 23x33 '67 Jean-Luc Godard, Ziegler art of Brigitte Bardot! 3b171 STAR TREK East German 23x32 '85 cool different art of Leonard Nimoy! 3b174 PARDON US Swedish R40s wonderful different art of convicts Stan Laurel Oliver Hardy! 3b632 SEARCH Danish '48 Fred Zinnemann post-World War II refugee classic! 3b429 AIR OF PARIS Polish 23x33 '56 Carne's L'air de Paris, Gorka art of heart punching bag! 3b440 DITTE CHILD OF MAN Polish 23x33 R54 Bjarne Henning-Jensen directed, Tomaszewski art! 3b477 CARMEN opera Polish 27x38 '00s wonderful Zebrowski art of red-headed woman! 3b247 MAN A WOMAN Japanese 2p '66 best romantic c/u of Anouk Aimee Trintignant + Ford GT40! 3b760 FANTASTIC VOYAGE French 15x21 '67 Richard Fleischer sci-fi, cool different art! 3b249 PIGPEN Japanese 2p '70 Pier Paolo Pasolini's Porcile, cannibalism, bizarre image! 3b764 FORGIVEN SINNER French 15x21 '61 Jean-Pierre Melville's Leon Morin, pretre, art by Gid! 3b504 MACBETH stage Polish 27x38 '00s cool Zebrowski art of sword snake! 3b275 FRENCH CANCAN Russian 22x34 '88 Jean Renoir, great different art of Moulin Rouge showgirls! 3b646 STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN Danish '47 Powell Pressburger classic, heavenly soldiers as jury! 3b085 LAST ADVENTURE Romanian '67 Alain Delon is a daredevil pilot

MoPo has been quiet of late, so I thought I would ask a question that has been on my mind of late, as I have been re-watching some classic and not so classic movies. I find some of them are about as great as I remembered them, but others seem to have changed drastically (or maybe it is I who have changed) because some are barely watchable at all! So my question is, are there movies you once thought classic that you later re-watched and found they are not nearly as good as you had once thought? -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
I think we will all probably have some titles that were so classic and wonderful yet when re watching and our tatses changed over the years we look upon them fondly yet realise how dated or poor these films were. I love the old Hammer films yet when I re-watch them I realise how poor they actually are. But surely the film being classic or not is not necessarily the question...it's what went on around them that gave you that classic feeling...if you saw a movie with your first date or your parents took you to see the film or a bunch of pals. It's the memories that surround that film. One film I love is When Eight Bells Toll - it's got a great story, great actors...yet it is not well made, but I saw it with my dad all those years back and I still enjoy the film...but it is by no means a classic. But then we can look at a huge amount of Bogart films and stuff from that era...can we say they are classic? Certainly better films have come along and better actors and directors...surely it's the memories that surround the film? This never happened to the other fella. -Original Message- From: Bruce Hershenson brucehershen...@gmail.com To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:35 Subject: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter MoPo has been quiet of late, so I thought I would ask a question that has been on my mind of late, as I have been re-watching some classic and not so classic movies.

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
There have been quite a few, but the one that comes immediately to mind is Charade. When I re-watched it a few months ago I found the whole production cheap-looking and the acting wooden, to say the least. (Matter of fact, I can say the same for a lot of movies from the mid-sixties.) The best thing about it was the theme music.

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
When I was in college, Mae West and W.C. Fields and The Marx Broethers had a revival among students my age. I remember seeing some of these movies for the first time at revival houses and loved them. Seeing some of these now (not all), I realize that they certainly have their moments but are hardly classic and some are not even good films. I feel that way also about Cecil B. DeMille's second version of The Ten Commandments which I probably saw about five times when I was ten. On the other hand, everytime I re-watch Sunset Boulevard, Citizen Kane or Wizard Of Oz, they get better and better.

My respect for DeMille has increased since I have been reading Scott Eyman's great bio, EMPIRE OF DREAMS. DeMille gets too little credit, I think. As far THE TEN COMMANDMENTS goes, how can anyone not like it! Moses, Moses! 1.Thou shalt not watch too many Lubitsch movies 2. Thou shalt not watch THE HANGOVER and that kind of tripe more than once 3. Thou shalt buy only Criterion DVDs. 4. Thou shalt get thy ass a Blu-Ray player 5. Thou shalt hook up thy Netflix streaming 6. Thy Queen Cleopatra is a Taylor-made Queen; thou shalt have no other Queens before me. 7. Honor 70mm to keep it Holy. 8. Thou shalt collect movie posters 9. Thou shalt buy them from MovieArt 10. Thou shalt slag others and their snotty opinions when they trample on thy Sacred Cows like STAR WARS and that shit.

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
What is poor about the majority of the Hammer films? Some of the films are not great, but they are not all poor by any means. Some of the Hammer films, I think, are great. For one, the Hammer (1958) Dracula is excellent. The Hammer films are what they were meant to be, entertaining. You want to watch something poor, watch a Ted V Mikels movie.

I love the old Hammer films yet when I re-watch them I realise how poor they actually are. But surely the film being classic or not is not necessarily the question...it's what went on around them that gave you that classic feeling...if you saw a movie with your first date or your parents took you to see the film or a bunch of pals. It's the memories that surround that film. One film I love is When Eight Bells Toll - it's got a great story, great actors...yet it is not well made, but I saw it with my dad all those years back and I still enjoy the film...but it is by no means a classic. But then we can look at a huge amount of Bogart films and stuff from that era...can we say they are classic? Certainly better films have come along and better actors and directors...surely it's the memories that surround the film?

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
It seems to me it is the sexy films of the late 1960s that have aged the worst of all. They are not really sexy by today's standards, and they are so massively dated in their values that I would say most of them are almost completely unwatchable (although there are of course exceptions). For example, I know that dress is worth millions, but have any of you tried WATCHING The Seven Year Itch lately? Let me know what you thought of it!

Well, The Seven Year Itch was mid-50s rather than late-60s.To be honest, last time I saw that film (admittedly 5 years ago) I quite enjoyed it. The main problem for me was that all the available versions in the UK were horribly panned scanned with a shocking image quality. That said, Tom Ewell's performance was definitely over-ripe and he can't carry a film.

Jack Lemmon was up for the Tom Ewell role in Seven Year Itch and it's a shame he didn't get it because he'd have been perfect. About the dress: It's not of interest because of the movie but because of the uber-famous still of Marilyn over the subway grate.

I find some of them are about as great as I remembered them, but others seem to have changed drastically (or maybe it is I who have changed) because some are barely watchable at all! So my question is, are there movies you once thought classic that you later re-watched and found they are not nearly as good as you had once thought? -- Bruce Hershenson and the other 29 members of the eMoviePoster.com team P.O.

Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter
Well sexy and the 60's doesn't really make me think of US films. I think much more was happening in Europe when it came to sexy and being relevant of course there was the ultra-sexy Anne Bankcroft in The Graduate which seems to be a timeless film with so much still going for it.

The main problem for me was that all the available versions in the UK were horribly panned scanned with a shocking image quality. That said, Tom Ewell's performance was definitely over-ripe and he can't carry a film. He always struck me as being very much a supporting player in the Gig Young / Ray Walston mode who rather lucked out by being over-promoted to male lead.Certainly there are better Wilder films and a better Wilder/Monroe film.Cheers NeilPS Good thread. --- On Tue, 28/6/11, Bruce Hershenson brucehershen...@gmail.com wrote: From: Bruce Hershenson brucehershen...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Tuesday, 28 June, 2011, 22:59 It seems to me it is the sexy films of the late 1960s that have aged the worst of all. They are not really sexy by today's standards, and they are so massively dated in their values that I would say most of them are almost completely unwatchable (although there are of course exceptions). For example, I know that dress is worth millions, but have any of you tried WATCHING The Seven Year Itch lately? Let me know what you thought of it!

I checked it out recently after having fond memories and couldn't believe how SLOW it was. And with that cast! Dave's correct to say that the entire enterprise looked as if it'd been made super-cheap. In contrast, every time I see it (must be a dozen plus now) North By Northwest, from 5 years earlier seems even smarter, funnier and better than ever. Still in my Top 5 of all time with The Apartment, To Be Or Not To Be, Sweet Smell Of Success and Sunset Boulevard. --- On Tue, 28/6/11, Dave Rosen hah...@sympatico.ca wrote: From: Dave Rosen hah...@sympatico.ca Subject: Re: [MOPO] A possible conversation starter To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Date: Tuesday, 28 June, 2011, 13:49 There have been quite a few, but the one that comes immediately to mind is Charade.
