Vintage Hitchcock Movie Posters
Last weekend I went to an antiques trade show that Billy set one of the booths up for, and among all the amazing things I saw what stuck in my head the most was this incredible French version of an original movie poster for The Birds. (It looked just like this only in perfect, non-folded condition and in a beautiful frame) I couldn't get it out of my head all week and went hunting for something similar.
Um yeah, let's just say that vintage Hitchcock posters are probably the most expensive movie posters on earth (the Rear Window poster is $10,000.00 - $15,000.00). But le sigh how amazing are these (My three favorite Hitchcock movies) that I found at Cinema Masterpieces? I would settle for a reproduction perhaps, but that's probably not the same. The Vertigo one is fantastic.

i saw that north by northwest poster at the birth of the cool exhibit, I'd never seen it before and was really taken with it.
Wow, I don't think I've seen that North by Northwest one before...it's fantastic! Man, I love Hitchcock.
too bad these are so spendy. I suppose there are repros?
Yeah, there are tons of repros but something feels a little lame about it, like getting a poster at the mall or something. Maybe not though. It just seems so cool to have an original! But completely impossible and crazy to spend so much money on it.
