Great War Films

This month we’re looking at posters from some of the greatest war films ever made.

War is an enduring genre for movies, depicting the extremes of human emotions – greed, fear, love, hate, heroism, desolation and joy. These films show us the very best and the very worst of the human condition, brought into focus by the chaos of the battlefield. These contrasts not only define us, they also teach us about our history and the sheer futility of conflict. Films about Vietnam like Apocalypse Now, Full Metal Jacket or Platoon. Satirical cult classics like Mash or POW movies like The Great Escape, Colditz or Bridge on the River Kwai. Battlefield classics like the Longest Day or Zulu. First World War films like All Quiet on the Western Front or Lawrence of Arabia. This month’s showcase is just a small selection of the war related posters on the website.

As well as movie posters, I have also included some original propaganda posters from the two world wars, including the iconic KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON poster from 1939.

Title Year Nominal size Condition Price Lawrence of Arabia (advance) 1962 French - 22"x16" Fine on linen £600 Notes: This is the rare advance from the first release in France of David Lean's classic. Notably, this is the only poster to feature the now iconic long distance shot of Omar Sharif approaching the well. N.B.

Currently framed, this poster is linen backed and will be sent out rolled unless the buyer would like the frame as well. It has minor airbrushing to the lower edge which has resulted in the loss of a few letters of the very fine print in the lower left corner so 'Cinemato' now reads 'mato'.
