"Best on Title"

 

1. International One Sheet SS

Acquired: 12/13/2011

Condition: Very Good to Fine

According to the social butterflies on All Poster Forum only five of these have been identified (surely there are more).  This is a rare beauty designed by Cassie Ramsay Anderson. Some say its just a big head but I like the tie in with the rug in the glasses; it really ties the poster together. Some don't think the rug is that important but without that pissed on rug the story goes no where.

2. Italian 2-Foglio (39" x 55")

Acquired: 08/24/2011

Condition: Very Good to Fine

This poster gets me going; the black and white, upside down heads, etc. This Italian version has most of the iconic images of the film; the toe, da Jesus, ashes, the Dude's trip, and Maude.  The size is also great.  If I hadn't located the International One-Sheet this would play substitute to that image.

 

 

 

3. Australian One Sheet

Part of the eatbrie.com collection and V has one.

This poster has more than the US One-Sheet and the Video poster (so no need for those on the list).  I also like the variation in the background...

Have one you want to sell? e-mail me!

4. Italian Photobusta

Acquired: 08/24/2011

Condition: Very Good

This is the best of the Italian Photobustas and true to the film versus the same pose on the US OS.

 

 

 
Gems From Other Collections

NeoLoco's Japanese B1

Part of the NeoLoco collection.

Neo has the only copy of this B1 that the active online poster community can identify.  The picture to the left is in its unrestored state.  Neo backed and restored this beauty which can be seen here.
