The Mike B. Wishlist #1: Movie Posters I Want

I love old movie posters. I'm crazy for them. If it wouldn't be excessive, I would decorate my entire house in them. Here are a few that I'm dying to acquire.


The Conversation (Dir. Francis Ford Coppola, 1974) [This is the poster used for the Polish release of the film.]



Blow Up (Dir. Michelangelo Antonioni, 1966) [This is the poster for the German release of the film.]



Anatomy of a Murder (Dir. Otto Preminger, 1959, music by Duke Ellington) [This may well be my favorite movie poster of all time.]
