Original 1968 US Release One Sheet Poster (Linen-backed) measuring 41 x 27 inches from Stanley Kubick's 'tour-de-force' masterpiece, "2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY". This poster features superb artwork and graphics of the astronauts on the moon base, of the four poster versions, this is the best!
The condition of this poster is incredible, it looks mint !!!!

The monoliths have been watching us. They gave us the "evolutionary kick in the pants" we needed to survive at the Dawn of Time. In 1999, we discovered a second monolith on the moon. Now, in the year 2001, the S.S. Discovery and its crew, Captains Dave Bowman and Frank Poole, and their onboard computer, HAL-9000, must discover what alien force is watching us!

2001: A Space Odyssey is the best film ever made! There are no other films like it and I doubt very much whether there will ever be. This is a directors film with Stanley Kubrick (director) as the star. The visual flair of the film is still to be matched despite all the technological innovations that have been invented since its making in 1968. There is very little dialogue in the film, but just enough to structure the story and the rest is left to polemic direction and perfectly choreographed sound and visuals. The use of music plays a very important roll in this film, as was to follow with all of Kubrick's films. With composers as diverse as Gyorgy Ligeti, Aram Khatchaturian, Johann Strauss and Richard Strauss when Ligeti's Atmospheres begins playing as Dave Bowman enters the mind-blowing stargate sequence, making this one of cinemas enduring images, which once seen is never forgotten! The whole film from start to finish is an extravaganza that assaults the senses.  This is the sci-fi film all others use as a reference....in a nutshell the BEST.
