    Agree with @Mathis1 here! Love them both, but that second one is fantastic!

    The third film in the series and criminally forgotten film, there is no Bluray or Digital version of the film, its like the film never existed. Alas Roy Kinnear father of Rory Kinnear died during the shooting of this film I remember the news vividly, they were very creative in having the character remain in the film.

    Yes, and Director Richard Lester was so affected by Kinnears death that he never made another film.
    Do enjoy 'Return' but it lacked the entertainment factor of the first two. It does have a tremendous score though!

    I loved the first two films so when Return was released I was happy just to see the characters again. Its not on the same level as the 70's movies though its pretty good.

    I think I saw the third one on the telly many years ago, but I've never seen any of the others. All of them have quite the cast, that's for sure!

    Very impressive cast Heston, Faye Dunaway and Christopher Lee are brilliant villains. Think I will rewatch the films over this weeks leave, the first two really are incredible movies.

    I still find it hilarious that the cast had no idea they were making two movies at the time!

    I'll make a note to give them all a watch!

    Indeed, one of the three best versions of Alexandre Dumas's story (the other two being the George Sidney version (with Gene Kelly and Lana Turner), and the Bernard Borderie version (with Gérard Barry and Mylène Demongeot).

    Great posters for The Killing, @Thunderfinger! Do you happen to know who made the first one of these? I don't know if he's done poster artwork, but the style of the first poster is quite similar to the style of the Spanish comic book artist Carlos Puerta.

    Fan-made, but better than the original.

    Thanks for the link! Davies got a lot of cool poster artworks up on his website:

    Really nice posters, @zebrafish and @Fire_and_Ice_Returns! That Smokey and the Bandit artwork made me think of the spiral jump in TMWTGG. Many hate it, but I love it!

    Yes, better than the official ones.

    You are definitely right about that. The official ones all fall into the "meh" category, IMO. They're alright, but nothing special.

    Do you remember that cover for Live and Let Die ?

    716ZZiam0FL.jpg

    Well, I decided to do a little research about the movies featured on the marquees, and here are the posters for them. Now everyone knows about the first one, right ?

    ap265-niagara-marilyn-monroe-movie-poster.jpg

    Couldn't find the movie on the second marquee (Bond is just before the title ; maybe someone will be able to find the original picture and help me out here), but I found the movies on the next one. The first is Davy Crockett Indian Scout :

    MV5BYzRhMmQ4MGEtZTkwNy00N2I4LWE5MWItM2UzYTFiMDFlNTIzXkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyOTc5MDI5NjE@._V1_.jpg

    The second is also a western called Junction City :

    MV5BY2I3YWE5NTEtMGMyOS00MWI5LTllMGUtOWM3Yjk5MGJjNWY1XkEyXkFqcGdeQXVyNzc5MjA3OA@@._V1_.jpg

    On the last marquee, the first movie advertised is the musical biopic The "I Don't Care" Girl, with Mitzi Gaynor :

    the-i-dont-care-girl-movie-poster.jpg?v=1456734897

    And last, but not least, a George Raft movie, I'll get you :

    Any other I might have missed ?

    Great job looking up all these titles, @Gerard! Had a look to see if I could find the original image of the Apollo Theatre (on stock image sites and elsewhere), but no luck.

    As for the film titles, I'd only heard of Niagara out of these. All great posters though, and particularly the Niagara one.

    Found a few alternative ones from the same film. The second out of these looks to be Italian.

    Exceptional film that I only discovered 5 or so years ago, it had the misfortune of being released around the time of Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit so bombed.
