This list ends up reminding me of one of the reasons I stopped reading Stephen King – seemed like every one of his characters was a writer.

Housekeeping. I was thinking novels, not movies. I don’t think there’s a move of The Institute.

NEXT: Movies with really great posters

  1. A Room with a View

I actually own an original 1-sheet from this movie, and apparently it worth about $300.

Movies with really great posters

  1. A Room with a View
  2. Grand Prix

There’s a boatload of different ones out there, but this one, showing a closeup of James Garner on the high-banked Pista di Alta Velocità turn, is the classic.

Incidentally, though that section of the track is no longer used (because its banking and downforces would put too much stress on today’s F1 cars – imagine that!) it still stands and aficianados are able to come to view the turn, which has become a park-like area within the Autodromo complex. It’s on my bucket list if I ever get to Italy, along with a pilgrimage to the Chapel of La Madonna del Ghisallo, the patron saint of cycling.
