Daybill Poster with striking artwork by Vic Fair.The Thirty Nine Steps is a British 1978 thriller film directed by Don Sharp, with screenplay by British playwright Michael Robson, based on the novel The Thirty-Nine Steps by John Buchan. It was the third film version of the 1915 novel. This version of Buchan's tale starred Robert Powell as Richard Hannay, Karen Dotrice as Alex, John Mills as Colonel Scudder, and a host of other well-known British actors in smaller parts. It is generally regarded as the closest to the novel, being set before the Great War. The early events and overall feel of the film bear much resemblance to Buchan's original story. It introduces a different meaning for the "thirty-nine steps", although unlike its filmed predecessors it returns to Buchan's original notion of being an actual staircase. It is known for the Big Ben sequence near the end, inspired by the film My Learned Friend (1943) starring Will Hay, although this is its most fundamental deviation from Buchan's original story, which reaches its culmination in a coastal location in Kent. John Buchan's son, Lord Tweedsmuir, was pleased the film used more of his father's book, and that he thought his father would have liked the Big Ben ending. The film was one of the most popular movies of 1979 at the British box office.

One Sheet Poster art by Bob McCall. Juggernaut is a 1974 British crime suspense film starring Richard Harris,Anthony Hopkins,Ian Holm,Julian Glover, Michael Hordern,Jack Watson and Omar Sharif.The film, which was directed by Richard Lester, was largely shot on location aboard the TS Mazim Gorkly owned by the Soviet Black Sea Shipping Company. Director Richard Lester says film production was scheduled for ten weeks but was completed in six and was a great experience. The plot of the film was inspired by real events aboard QE2 in May 1972 when Royal Marines from the Special Boat Service were parachuted on to the ship because of a bomb hoax. In the film, Richard Harris leads a team of Naval bomb disposal experts sent to disarm several large barrel bombs that have been placed aboard an ocean liner crossing the North Atlantic. Meanwhile, ashore, the police race against time to track down the mysterious bomb maker, who calls himself "Juggernaut," who will for a ransom reveal the information that will disarm the bombs. When it came to getting extras for the film, advertisements were run in British papers asking the public if they would take a lengthy cruise in the North Sea for free but with the knowledge that the ship would actually seek out the worst possible weather. As the story demanded, these seas had to be too rough for the lifeboats to be lowered, trapping the passengers on board. Although Juggernaught was not considered to be a part of the popular disaster film genre at the time, the public thought it was.

This film was reportedly a favorite of Price's, as he had always wanted the chance to act in Shakespeare, but found himself typecast because of his work in horror films. The Los Angeles Times called it "quite possibly the best horror film Vincent Price has ever made. Certainly it affords him the best role he has ever had in the genre. A triumph of witty, stylish Grand Guignol, it allows Price to range richly between humour and pathos." Diana Rigg regarded Theatre of Blood as her best film.

Daybill Poster.And Now for Something Completely Different is a 1971 British sketch comedy film based on the television comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus featuring sketches from the show's first two series. The title was taken from a catchphrase used in the television show. The most notable sketches in the movie were the "Dead Parrot" , "The Lumberjack Song", "Upperclass Twits", "Hell's Grannies" and the "Nudge Nudge" sketch. All of the sketches were recreated for the film without an audience, and were intended for an American audience which had not yet seen the series. The announcer (John Cleese) appears briefly between some sketches to deliver the line "and now for something completely different", in situations such as being roasted on a spit and lying on top of a desk in a small pink bikini. Financed by Playboy′s UK executive Victor Lownes, it was intended to help Monty Python break into the United States. Although the film was initially unsuccessful at achieving an American breakthrough, it did well financially in the United Kingdom, and later in the United States on the "Midnight Movie" circuit, after the Pythons achieved some success there, following their first exposure on US television and the release of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The film enjoys a cult following among Python fans today and associated movie memorabilia is much sort after.
