There are some good ones here:

you can also find a lot on eBay, but they tend to come and go pretty quick.

Check out this guy's selection - pretty impressive

Hi Gaijin84!!
Thanks a lot for your helpful links.
Maybe there are also other pages around that also have more posters of classic eastern movies?? :?

Cheers, Easternpaul

That's really tough... I've been looking for the same things, mostly in the genre of classic samurai movies from the 50s and 60s. I've never really run across any kind of online store that sells these posters, other than a few sellers on eBay. I think at this point these are considered works of art, so prices usually run $50 and up, which is quite an investment if you have multiple posters you want to get. My best bet would be to scour eBay every few days and see if something pops up.

Yes, indeed it seems to be very tough to find any original classic posters for sale.
What also would be helpfull is probably a source where collector's present their ownings, maybe I could contact them for a copy...

Cheers, Easternpaul

That's a good idea - even with reproductions, Shaw Brothers could make a bundle by offering copies of those original posters.

I was scouring eBay (as I seem to be addicted to it) and came across this collection as well. Most of the posters are the original Thai versions, but there are some Hong Kong versions scattered in there. Again, becuase they are rare they are relatively expensive.
