The New York Times recently ran an article on Mondo, the company that designs new posters for old movies for the Austin, Tex., theater chain Alamo Drafthouse (and now sometimes directly for the studios as well). Here's the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/09/movies/movie-posters-are-the-business-of-mondo.htmlI recall we had some discussion about their Dirty Harry poster (by Olly Moss) in this thread, starting here: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=8261.msg164285#msg164285The picture Davy posted is no longer showing, but the poster can be seen on Mondo's site, here: http://www.mondoarchive.com/poster/dirty-harry/ They've also done the Leone films ... to see them, search their archive: http://www.mondoarchive.com/Everything they do sells out more or less instantly, so if you see something you want to buy, you'll have to try somewhere else. Southern Cat posted about the "Alamo Drafthouse posters" and gave a link to a site where some of them can be bought, here: http://www.clinteastwood.org/forums/index.php?topic=7729.0

As most of you know, I have a passion for Eastwood cinema posters. I have almost exhausted all avenues, but there still are those elusive few, which I have not managed to track down, and even if I did track them down, they would be way out of my league. After suscessfully collecting ALL US 1 sheets, half sheets and inserts, I decided to go for the 40 x 30 and 40 x 60 versions. So what I am after now is simple (laughs) a US 40 X 60 for Dirty Harry and a 40 x 60 for Magnum Force I found a seller who quite rightly lists this wonderful poster as the holy grail of Eastwood posters. He is not far wrong. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250951510791?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649I can only hope that I win the lottery tonight  I may then place a bid
