Fast Times At Ridgemont High, 1982

actually it seems like it was just being called "Fast Times" there? Must have been a really early poster?

Looking closer at the bottom right corner, it says "Printed In England", so I guess it's the Brit poster?
Lads?

Old Dracula/Vampira, 1974
― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Friday, 22 May 2020 06:28 (four years ago) link
Count Dracula is an old vampire who, because of his advanced age, is forced to host tours of his castle to get new victims. In an attempt to revive his long-lost love, Vampira, Dracula sets out to collect blood from the bevy of Playboy Playmates living at his castle. However, one of the Playmates whose blood is drained is black, turning the revived Vampira into a black woman.Dracula enthralls the hapless Marc to collect blood from three white women in hopes of restoring Vampira's original skin color. Dracula transfuses the blood into her but she is unchanged; however, her bite turns Dracula black. Marc and his love Angela race to destroy Dracula but are taken aback upon seeing Dracula's new skin tone. Their surprise gives the vampires time to slip away to catch a flight to Rio for Carnival.

Do we have a thread for old video game covers? There were a LOT of busy covers for the Commodore 64 and Spectrum etc, as I recall it. Always weird to look at the cover, then at the actual blobby pixelated oddness of the actual games.

plot summary for Find the Lady:"A New York detective who likes pizza keeps an eye on a hoodlum hired to kidnap an heiress."
― Doctor Casino, Friday, 12 June 2020 11:36 (four years ago) link
or, from Wiki:"The plot involves kidnapping schemes all involving the same woman except the wrong woman gets taken and the right one runs away with her boyfriend."
That Garbo Talks one is haunting me.
I don't remember the movie specifically, but that sort of thin-point whimsical caricature was on many a hard-shell VHS box at my local video rental store.
― pplains, Friday, 12 June 2020 12:21 (four years ago) link
The ultimate proof that I was an indiscriminate movie-crazed child: I watched Garbo Talks when I was 7 or 8 years old because it was on cable (remember nothing about the movie now).

Surprised this connection wasn't mentioned above (from Leonard Maltin's review of Find the Lady:
Candy and Dane played same characters a year earlier in IT SEEMED LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME.

Up the Academy, 1980
― visiting, Monday, 15 June 2020 03:35 (four years ago) link
The film was neither a commercial nor critical success when it was originally released, and was disowned by both the staff of Mad magazine and actor Ron Leibman (who, despite his sizable role, had his name completely removed from the credits and promotional material). Besides paying Warner Bros. $30,000 to remove all references to Mad from the film when it was released on home video, Mad's publisher William Gaines issued personal handwritten apologies to every person that wrote the magazine to complain.
I watched AMERICAN GRAFFITI again last week and was slightly surprised to see that its poster was in this loveable style.
I had always thought it was a slightly more serious film!
