I kinda figured those Mon Ocle variants would have gone a lot faster... I think it's some of Tom's best work.
Its an amazing work but I guess many people have not seen the film. I guess that holds true for a lot of the unsold work at Nautilus.
Completely fair point. I haven't seen the film myself, but I couldn't resist.

Agreed about Mon Oncle being one of Whalen's best.

I don't understand how posters for random 80s horror movies will sell out in minutes, but pieces like these - for some of the best films ever - sit around for days. Not that I'm complaining.

I wonder about the same thing. Do you think that the average poster collector cares less about world cinema or do you just think Nautilus as a brand isn't yet established enough? Or, option three, are average poster FLIPPERS not interested in world cinema?

Most people, in general, have zero taste.

Since people in this thread keep calling it Monocle instead of Mon Oncle, I'm sure this is true.

That's all me. Whoops. As stated, I haven't seen the movie. Just a big fan of the print.

Will fix the original post.
