PERFORMANCE 1970 Original UK Quad Film Movie Poster
Located in Bath, Somerset
Very rare country-of-origin British film poster for Donald Cammell and Nicolas Roeg's psychedelic cult classic Performance. Lauded as one of the most influential and innovative films of the 1970s. Starring Mick Jagger and James Fox, Performance was not a great commercial success at the time of its release, and was treated more as a, somewhat controversial, independent/arthouse affair than a large studio release. As such, the posters for it have always been scarce with the British UK quad posters...

'The Shining' Original Vintage British Quad Film Poster, 1980
Located in Devon, GB
A scarce and unusual 'Weekend Mirror' style teaser quad for the British release of Stanley Kubrick's 1980 modern horror masterpiece 'The Shining,' starring Jack Nicholson and Shelley Duvall. Based on the bestselling novel by Stephen King, the seminal psychological horror initially opened to mixed reviews, before growing momentum over the summer of 1980 to become an American box-office success. With anticipation building for the October 1980 British release, Warner Bros. made the canny marketing decision to reproduce a tabloid newspaper spread from the Saturday, August 30, 1980, edition of the Daily Mirror, on "the tide...
