Non U.S. movie posters of American films often times surpass U.S. posters in design quality. For example, the Italian and British version of The Godfather features a profile of Marlon Brando unlike the U.S. version making it highly sought after. The Australian posters for Halloween are the only posters from the first Halloween movie to actually feature Michael Myers making them extremely collectible and hard to obtain. The From Russia With Love poster from the U.S. can not even compare to the beautiful stone litho French version.
