Vintage movie posters

So I just found out store is literally five minutes from my house. They literally have thousands of original movie posters. We went there today and I was browsing original posters for things like 2001, Errol Flynn's Robin Hood, the Star Wars and Indiana Jones trilogies, Atragon, The Mysterians, Gigantis the Fire Monster, Gone with the Wind, Singing in the Rain.... You get the idea. They have over 3000 original posters. They had EVERYTHING. They also have vintage travel posters and vintage war posters.

They also had plenty of vintage theater paraphernalia including reels, cans, vintage light fixtures, and even rows of vintage seats!

And the couple who runs it is really awesome. The gentleman is a British geologist retired from the oil industry and his wife is an artist who does incredible fine art and vintage poster restoration. You can see some of their restoration work on their site. They really do it right in that any restoration work they do can be undone or reversed if needed or desired. It's true archival/museum quality restoration.

But the best part is, when my wife first texted me a link to their website (my wife always seems to find these incredible things!) she included the caveat, "you can have ONE!"

So I am now the proud owner or an original one sheet for the American release of Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster!!! I don't have it in hand yet as I am having them linen-back it with some very minor restoration and then custom frame it. But below is a picture of the actual poster I bought from their site. SOO EXCITED!!!
