Cheers David,not been collecting posters for long but have always wanted to,wish I had started earlier as some of my favourite 80s posters have become quite rare since and obviously shot up a bit in price .

Here in Finland they used the same pic in Godfrey Ho film "Diamond Ninja Force" probably best known as Golden Ninja Warrior. Also posted the alternate cover Ninja Warrior. Crazy films, crazy releases

That Strange Brew poster is very good. You Hosers. You better get Strange Brew. You'll get the hoser thing after you see the movie.

Dangerous Curves is pretty entertaining if a little by the numbers teen flick, warrior. Bikini babes all over the place and yes, Leslie Nielsen somewhere in the middle I should rewatch the Psycho films asap!

Gotta love the psycho films there awesome,I even like the made for TV part 4 to some extent!
Love the original but I do actually watch parts 2 and 3 the most,there such great fun.
Never seen the 1987 TV movie - bates motel before or the 2012 TV series that seems to be doing quite well for itself and I believe is now in its 4 or 5 season.
I think the Vince Vaughn remake was a bad idea as it was never really likely to work,for me there's only one Norman bates and that's Anthony Perkins!

Hey Johnny. I picked up Vacation today for like 6 bucks on Bluray. My cover is similar but Chevy has got moose antlers on the sides of his head on mine.
The new covers are a major let down.

Sounds like the same artwork as my blu ray boxset Bernie,great films but I agree the new artwork completely sucks especially when compared to the awsome original art!

Yeah, that looks about the same. Too bad I did not see a box set at the shops. The old artwork was really good. I guess you could argue that it's somewhat misleading though.

This is the artwork for there (waner's) new 25th anniversary edition steelbook which compared to the original Christmas vacation art is also pretty lame!
Has a remastered transfer this time around with a new HD audio track and a supposed much improved picture.
Here in the UK it was released at the theatres with the alternate title of national lampoon's winter holiday but was then released to home video thankfully under the preferable Christmas vacation title!

Squirrel!!!!!!!!!! Winter Holiday? What were they thinking? I wonder why certain movies have different titles for different countries. Something to do with appeal?
Never seen that Scandi cover work. Looks pretty good. It oozes 80s. Do you have that actual video?
I noticed that Vacation Bluray has an 85 mintue featurette and commentary from Harold Ramis, and the Griswold kids and a couple others. Still have not got to it yet.

Does anybody remember videodiscs? I have Vacation on videodisc. Its the same as the original artwork on vhs only its better cause its the size of a record album cover.
The Winter Holiday poster is great along with the artwork for Euro.

Maximum overdrive Ferris bueller Revenge of the nerds Over the top Police academy 3,4 Trading places No small affair A view to a kill Blind date Explorers St elmos fire Breakfast club Fletch Stand by me Wisdom Terminator
