We've got some new releases from the Saul Bass Archive, including - for the first time - the sublime, iconic silkscreen for MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, featuring Saul's original, unaltered design for the film (before United Artists added photos of Sinatra, Kim Novak and Eleanor Parker) But first, we want to say a huge thanks to everyone at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Margaret Herrick Library for last week's event "Words On Film: Inside the Saul Bass Collection". Several of Saul Bass' silkscreens were on display, along with treasures from the Academy's huge Saul Bass collection...

We're getting a jump start on July! Vintage Movie Poster highlights this month include lots of John Carpenter, including this great English 1 Sheet for his 1982 film THE THING. Like much of Carpenter's work (HALLOWEEN, ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) this film's reputation and popularity have grown significantly over the past few years.
We've got 1 Sheets for THUNDERBALL, GREY GARDENS, EASY RIDER, JAWS, THE WICKER MAN (English) and NASHVILLE (advance/foil style); Window Cards for 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY and Elvis Presley in LOVING YOU, a rare Japanese STB (2 Panel) for the 1963 documentary MARILYN, plus HAPPY TOGETHER, THE BIG LEBOWSKI, A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE, HONKY, A HIPPY VAMPIRE and more fun stuff, right here

We've got some major new releases from the Archive, including some posters that have rarely been offered - like this silkscreen for BONJOUR TRISTESSE. Though the original NSS 1 Sheet used this image in its entirety, this silkscreen is much more powerful. The white border and credits have been eliminated, leaving the iconic image and title alone. There's nothing to pull focus from the elegant, powerful design, and the rich silkscreened colors are stunning. Simply put: it's a work of art.

Every month we try to curate an interesting mix of vintage movie posters from around the world - popular favorites, cult classics, examples of great poster design, rare treasures and some that are just plain fun. Finding and sharing great movie posters is the best part of the job, and it's especially gratifying with a lineup like the posters we have this month. Take, for example, the image above - an Italian photobusta poster for the original release of Godard's BREATHLESS...
