Dear Friends & Movie Lovers
Hello from Hollywood. We've been traveling a bit and picked up some great posters along the way - many of which you'll find below, in our current update. It's a big one for us - more than 100 new posters this month.
But first, we want to acknowledge a couple of things that are happening this month. Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and we will be celebrating by attending the Cinespia screening of ROMAN HOLIDAY at the beautiful Los Angeles Theatre. In the meantime, we've put together a collection of some of our favorite romantic movie posters, which you can see by clicking on the ROMAN HOLIDAY poster or right here And of course February is Black History Month. We've got some great posters that trace the evolution of Black Cinema, from the ground-breaking, Oscar-Nominated Dorothy Dandridge in CARMEN JONES to the emergence of Sidney Poitier as the first Black superstar and continuing with the Blaxploitation craze of the early 1970s and beyond. See them all here
