Josephzohn presents a couple of nice film noir links. First check out a site about French posters for American film noir and then click for a blog about film noir suitably called "Noir of the Week" and its archive.
Bibi comes up with this suggestion: "Museum of Russian Posters". It is more or less a repost at Martin Klasch - in June we publishes a post for this Flickr set containing all (?) of the posters from the mentioned site - so if you'd rather watch it at Flickr...
Mr Dante wants us to look at some cool screenshots from Batman: The Movie (1966).WHAP! KAPOW! THWACK!

"By the way. We'll be switching over to "new Blogger". Why? I don't know. Forces I can't control are compelling me. The power of Blogger compels me! The power of Blogger compels me! Anyway, the blog is going to look awful for some time and it will never look the same again. Wish me luck as I know nothing about coding and things like that!" /P-E Fronning

The Hammer Collection De Daniel Frenette, is a French website dedicated to this film company. If you don't master the French lingo why don't you brows through the large collection of posters and cinema cards.

Another nice Hammer Film site is Dictionary of Hammer Horror. It contains lots of information and nice screen shots like this one:
If you are a lover of great illustrations and children's books you have to see this picture in its entirety. I guess it's another illustration of The musicians of Bremen. Click the image!

Maybe you don't know who The Saint was and maybe you don't know that the car he drove, when he was played by Roger Moore in the TV show (1962-69), was a super-cool white Volvo P1800 (with licence plate ST1). You might not even know that PCL LinkDump has a number of nice links for photos, ephemera and brochures of Volvo P180o and other cars from around the world. But he does!
Hints: It helps if you are from Scandinavia or Eastern Europe; that's where they have been most successful so far. For the usual photo line-up the guy on the right should stand in the middle.
The image (has been cut) is made by comics artist Jack Kirby
