April 2020
It's understandably slow here at the VMPF watering hole, so I'll help kick start things off for April. I offer my usual apologies for using auction photos instead of getting off the dime and taking my own. The first two offerings here aren't movie posters, but do have a marginal relation to film:
This one is just a groovy 24x36 poster created to advertise what I assume was a car show, but it was held in conjunction with a related film festival:
This one is an 11x17 poster on one side, informational flyer on the other side thingy that I would guess advertises a series of the graphic novels.
Allrighty. Now we're at least back into actual cinematic stuff. I had and sold off this poster in the distant past, but here I am, buying it once again:
And lastly for now, the gem of this particular post, a backed one sheet for a cautionary tale of morality:

Here is a handy checklist to help tell eMoviePoster.com apart from all other major auctions!
Hmmm, seems the Rockabilly Mansion needs this one?
Yes? Just say the word!
Sometime in the fairly recent past, I thought I'd find my Suburban Mayhem 1 sheet and get it up on the wall. Turns out it measures 27.5x40. Really? Friggin Aussies.
Ah aussie poster sizes. Believe me I feel your pain. At least you are talented enough to work around it. Im stuck with too big or too small posters for all my pre cut mats!
Nope, here's a pic of it, and it looks like it was ill fitting length wise. No idea how I pulled it off, as the poster itself isn't damaged. And, NS4 on the computer screen. This must've been around 2008 or so.
One of the sub-collections I have is movie posters related to the interest in swing music in the 30's and 40's. Whenever the music-y stuff goes back up on the wall, some or all of these might be good companion pieces. The larger ones are 24x30 inches.
I wanted to hang my Bikini Beach 1 sheet sometime soon, but I needed a decent and like-themed poster to hang next to it. An inexpensive copy of this one seemed to fit the bill:
I stopped buying Mexican 1 sheets for the most part some time ago because they all seem to be prohibitively fragile, and they're a pain to find frames for, but I always kinda liked this poster and ran across an inexpensive one, so I'll see what I can do with it:
That's all the excitement for now. Back to your lives, citizens.
First off, how about a Risky Business poster without Tom Cruise? Just a nice, wholesome gal and a Porsche 928. It is a video release poster (reserve your copy on Beta now!), but it was also cheeeeep. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I like it.
Sorry about the poor pic here. This is a seller's photo, like usual. The magnets I have for my whiteboard won't hold this thing unrolled, so this will have to do for now. I used to have a 1 sheet for this, but now I have a window card:
Here we have a set of stills for Hot Car Girl. I was on the fence a bit about buying them, as they may be the dullest set of stills ever. There are two that I have that aren't pictured, but they're nothing to write home about either. They weren't expensive, so I thought it would be remiss of me not to add them to the rock-o-car geek collection. Maybe this isn't an entire set, and someone just kept the good ones. Who knows.
Next up, a couple more automotive-ish ones. I know, gee whiz, what a surprise! I'll still keep looking for this under it's preferable title, Hot Rods To Hell, but this will be a decent placeholder for now:
A Belgian poster for Checkpoint. I have the US 1 sheet, but the art on this one is different and in some ways better:
And lastly for now (how can the fun be over so fast? - I know, I know, that's what she said.) a half sheet that I've been looking for, for a while now. It's a C-list title to be sure, but not one that pops up a lot:
I'm not sure what within the "panorama of abnormalities" would cause her to tear her clothes off, but whatever it is, I'm good with it.
I already have more recent acquisitions to post, but I feel like the lone ranger here. I'll hold off for a bit.
Double tick off...Aussie and with art by Jeremy Saunders!
Sorry if I already posted this one before:
