Austin’s Alamo Drafthouse, arguably the greatest movie theater in the country, has spent the last couple of summers taking their show on the road, as it were, with the “Rolling Roadshow” series — classic movies shown for free in relevant settings, like last summer’s screenings of The Blues Brothers in Joliet, Illinois and Dirty Harry in San Francisco’s Washington Square Park. This year, they’re staying in Texas (though still taking their films out to their shooting locations). How, then, are those of us in the other 49 expected to enjoy the series? Well, we can enjoy the very cool custom posters designed for the series by artist Jason Munn. Check out all ten after the jump.


The Searchers (John Ford, 1956), screening June 3rd at Old Fort Parker

These remind me of old Polish Movie posters from the 60's up to the late 80's. They are amazing, many of them better than the movies they were based on. (The poser for Innerspace starring Dennis Quaid and Martin Short, had a silhuette of a man with stars and nebulae pattern) You used to be able to get them really cheap, but by the time I visited Poland in 2003, Wallpaper magazine had already done a story on them, and they were pretty expensive ($150-$300) The Gene Autry museum had an exhibit of Eastern European posters for westerns.
