🎬 Favourite movie poster of the week:
Dr. Strangelove

Another Kubrick this week. I’ve shared this before — but in 2026 it feels oddly relevant again.

Sharp, satirical design by Tomi Ungerer (1964).

📽️Favourite Kubrick poster?

Why must they part? Because she’s a princess and he’s a journalist. "Roman Holiday" is a masterpiece because love gave way to duty, leaving an eternal, silent gaze in black and white. 🏛️🖤#RomanHoliday #AudreyHepburn #ClassicCinema

🎬 Favourite movie poster of the week:
2001: A Space Odyssey

No faces. No stars. Just scale, silence and space.

Robert McCall painted this by hand in 1968.

Film posters used to be an art form.

Finished the 2-part doc on Mel Brooks last night. Thought I knew him — turns out I didn’t.

Absolute genius, perfectly placed among other geniuses.

Highly recommended.

Seen it?
