Original Badham, John Movie Posters

John Badham movie posters are anchored by Saturday Night Fever — one of the most culturally significant films of the 1970s — including one of the defining documents of American popular culture at the decade's hinge point.

Saturday Night Fever (1977) transformed both John Travolta and the Bee Gees from successful entertainers into global phenomena, and generated one of the most iconic theatrical campaigns of the decade: Travolta in the white suit, pointing skyward, the disco ball — an image that immediately encoded an entire cultural moment. Paramount's original one-sheet is among the most recognisable American film posters of the 1970s, and surviving originals are prized accordingly.

Dracula (1979), with Frank Langella reprising his stage performance, approached the vampire mythology with gothic romanticism rather than horror. WarGames (1983) — Matthew Broderick as a teenage hacker who nearly triggers World War III — captured Cold War anxiety and the new reality of personal computing in a thriller of genuine intelligence. Short Circuit (1986) moved into lighter family science fiction. Each film generated distinct theatrical materials reflecting its genre and era. Original US one-sheets from Saturday Night Fever are now scarce and seldom found in fine flat condition.
