A printed Odeon cinema ticket with perforated holes along the left edge, branded “Rank Theatres Limited.” The ticket reads “IPSWICH PRESENTS DARKMAN,” with the date “13.4.91,” day “SATURDAY,” time “11:45,” and price “£3.50.” The Odeon logo appears in orange at the top, with blue and white patterned background and labelled fields for row and seat.

Film poster for Darkman showing a shadowy figure in a wide-brimmed hat and trench coat standing on a rooftop ledge, half lit by blue tones and half by fiery orange light. His gloved hand reaches forward while a helicopter hovers in the background over a city skyline. The tagline reads: “They destroyed everything he had, everything he was. Now, crime has a new enemy and justice has a new face.” The title “DARKMAN” appears in large orange lettering.

People forget that before he was an ageing action hero, Liam Neeson was a young-ish superhero. I’d have been well up for this with Sam Raimi at the helm, but it clearly didn’t leave much of an impression despite my appetite for this sort of thing at the time.

A perforated paper cinema ticket from Odeon. Printed in blue and red with “ODEON” across the top and “Rank Theatres Limited” branding. The ticket reads “IPSWICH PRESENTS HIGHLANDER.” Date shown as Friday 12.4.91, time 03:40, price £3.50. Row and seat fields are present but not clearly filled. The ticket has circular punch holes along the left edge and sits on a dark textured background.

Film poster for Highlander 2: The Quickening. Two men stand back-to-back in front of a large vertical sword: one in red-toned clothing with arms folded, the other in black leather, also arms folded. Above them, a figure is suspended against the blade as lightning strikes around it. The background shows a futuristic city skyline with neon lighting, a hovering aircraft, and a red sports car in the foreground. At the top, cast names including Christopher Lambert, Virginia Madsen, Michael Ironside, and Sean Connery. The title “HIGHLANDER 2 THE QUICKENING” appears in bold white lettering at the bottom.

The ticket says Highlander but I'm pretty sure this would have been for Highlander II: The Quickening, which Is a shame because Highlander is brilliant, whilst Highlander II: The Quickening is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made.

Faint date “21.3.91” is overlaid beneath the ticket.

Film poster for Meet the Applegates. A smiling suburban family of four stand on a neat front lawn outside a yellow house, with exaggerated insect antennae and features subtly visible. The father holds a small dog; the family wear bright, slightly artificial-looking clothes. Tagline at the top reads “MEET THE NEW BUGS ON THE BLOCK.” The title “The Applegates” appears at the bottom with credits beneath.

Modelling themselves after an idyllic cookie-cutter suburban 1950s family, a colony of insects move from South America into the United States with the intent of getting access to the nation's nuclear resources. Hard to see Michael Lehmann’s post-Heathers follow-up getting made now.

The Odeon logo appears in red at the top with “Rank Theatres Limited” and VAT number printed above. The ticket reads “PRESENTS IPSWICH GREEN CARD” in dot-matrix text. Blue boxes along the bottom label “ROW”, “SEAT”, “DATE”, “DAY”, “TIME”, and “PRICE”, with partial details printed including “22 03 91”, “FRIDAY”, and a price ending in “.50”. A serial number “43136028” appears in the top right. Faint grey text “22.3.91” is overlaid beneath the ticket on the background.

Film poster for Green Card. A man in a dark suit carries a smiling woman in a red dress over his shoulder against a plain white background. The woman has long curly hair and is laughing, her bare feet visible. To the right, text reads: “The story of two people who got married, met and then fell in love.” The title “GREEN CARD” appears in large green serif text at the bottom, with small production credits beneath.

Additional box office and serial number text appears along the right side.

Film poster for The Big Picture. A young man sits inside a shopping trolley holding a film camera, wearing a backwards red cap, casual jacket and trainers, against a plain white background. Tagline reads: “Film school prepared Nick for everything… everything but Hollywood.” The title “THE BIG PICTURE” appears in large red serif text below, with credits in small print at the bottom.

From what I can tell this was Christopher Guest’s first produced screenplay after This Is Spinal Tap, and also his feature directorial debut. Not the first film about Hollywood, but one of the earlier ones to take aim at the whole notes-and-executives circus.

A rectangular paper cinema ticket on a dark textured background. The ticket is off-white with a red header reading “LEISURE SERVICES Arts & Entertainments” alongside theatre mask icons. Dot-matrix text shows “The Comfort of Strangers”, certificate “18”, price “£1.40”, and screening details “Wed 30 Jan 91 at 20.00”. “ADMIT ONE” is printed in bold, with “BOX OFFICE” and a note that tickets cannot be exchanged or refunded. Perforated holes run down the right edge.

A stylised illustrated poster for The Comfort of Strangers in warm gold and ochre tones. Three central figures—two women and a man—stand in elongated, Art Nouveau style poses, partially nude and intertwined. Venetian architecture fills the background, including a canal with reflections, gondolas, and domed buildings. The composition is decorative and painterly, with intricate patterns and soft blending of figures into the cityscape. The title appears at the bottom in a distinctive serif typeface, with cast names including Christopher Walken, Natasha Richardson, Rupert Everett, and Helen Mirren at the top.

Schrader, Pinter, Walken, Mirren, Richardson & Everett. Quite the line-up for a film I have no recollection of. Amazing poster though.

In the lower left, a smaller photograph shows a man wearing a surgical mask holding a syringe. The tagline at the top reads “HE’S LIVING A LIE… AND FOR EVERY LIE SOMEONE MAY DIE!” The title “PAPER MASK” appears in bold white text on a black background near the bottom, with cast names including Paul McGann and Amanda Donohoe above.

A hospital porter bluffs his way into a doctor’s job and, unsurprisingly, it doesn’t end well. Paul McGann & Amanda Donohoe star.

At the top, a man wearing sunglasses is partially visible, while a woman in white sunglasses appears on the left. At the bottom, a close-up of red lips holding a cigarette dominates the frame. The tagline at the top reads “SAFE IS NEVER SEX. IT’S DANGEROUS.” and the title “THE HOT SPOT” appears in bold black text across the middle.

Film poster for Henry V (1989). Kenneth Branagh is shown in close-up wearing a crown and armour, looking directly ahead against a fiery orange sky. Below him, a battle scene unfolds with soldiers on horseback riding through flames. The title “HENRY V” appears in bold lettering across the centre of the poster.

Another directorial debut, this time from National Treasure and classically trained luvvy Kenneth Branagh. Shakespeare has never really been my thing, so I’m fairly sure the battle scenes carried me through this one.

Film poster for Blue Steel (1990). Jamie Lee Curtis is shown in close-up holding a revolver upright beside her face. Her face is partially lit against a dark background, with a strip across the top showing a rainy night street scene and a silhouetted figure walking. Text at the top reads “For a rookie cop, there’s one thing more dangerous than uncovering a killer’s fantasy. Becoming it.” The title “BLUE STEEL” appears in bold blue lettering, with “Jamie Lee Curtis” above and film credits along the bottom.

Near Dark marked Kathryn Bigelow out as a director to watch, but it came a bit too early for Admit One Daily. Not so this excellent follow-up. Plenty more Bigelow to come in the weeks and months ahead.

Film poster for Arachnophobia (1990). A large full moon dominates the centre of a deep blue night sky, with a spider suspended in front of it on a thin thread. Silhouetted tree branches frame the scene on both sides. Below, a small town sits in a dark landscape under a purple and blue sky. The title “ARACHNOPHOBIA” appears in large gold lettering across the middle.

Not content with producing some of the biggest films of all time, Frank Marshall thought he’d have a go at Directing too. Not a bad first effort this. Unless you’re scared of spiders, of course.

Film poster for Spaced Invaders (1990). A cartoon-style image shows the planet Earth floating in space with a rocket passing straight through it like a drill. Five small alien figures stand on top of the Earth looking outward. The background is a star-filled night sky. At the top the tagline reads: “For years, science has speculated on the existence of intelligent life in space… Now, there is living proof there is no such thing.” The title “SPACED INVADERS” appears in large yellow lettering near the bottom above the credits.

Film poster for The Freshman (1990). Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick are pictured in a close-up scene. Brando, in profile on the left, gently holds Broderick’s cheeks while looking at him. Broderick faces him with his eyes closed. The title “THE FRESHMAN” appears above them in large white lettering. The names “Marlon Brando” and “Matthew Broderick” appear at the top of the poster against a black background. A small green lizard graphic sits above the title.

Matthew Broderick finds himself in another mob-adjacent story playing against a megastar co-star — this time Marlon Brando no less. Looking back at the reviews it seems critics liked it a lot, but clearly it didn’t leave much of an impression on me.

Film poster for Goodfellas (1990). Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, and Joe Pesci are shown in formal suits against a black background, lit dramatically from the front. Their names appear across the top of the poster. Below them, the title “GoodFellas” appears in large white lettering with the tagline “Three Decades of Life in the Mafia.” At the bottom, a scene shows a body lying in the middle of a dark street beneath an elevated railway line.

One of those films where you walk out of the cinema knowing you’ve seen something special. Scorsese firing on all cylinders, with a cast at the top of their game. Hard to believe this lost Best Picture to Dances with Wolves.

A green electrocardiogram line runs across the poster beneath the title “FLATLINERS.” The tagline reads “Some lines shouldn’t be crossed.” Film credits appear in small text at the bottom.

There’s a scene in this where a load of bikes suddenly shoot across a crossroads at night. I don’t know why, but it made a big impression on me at the time and it’s still the only thing I can clearly remember about the film.

Film poster for My Blue Heaven (1990). Steve Martin, wearing a burgundy suit, stands smiling with his arm around Rick Moranis, who wears glasses, a white shirt, and grey trousers with a shoulder holster. A lawnmower sits beside them on bright green grass against a pale blue sky background. Text at the top reads “Steve Martin is a Gangster. Rick Moranis is a Federal Agent.” The title “My Blue Heaven” appears between them with the line “A comedy about a government witness who gives suburbia a culture shock.”

Once again we’re safely in late 80s/early 90s territory with this Nora Ephron-penned Steve Martin/Rick Moranis mob comedy. The New York Times called it “a truly funny concept and a disappointment on the screen”, which probably explains why I barely remember it.

Film poster for Memphis Belle (1990). A group of World War II bomber crew members stand and sit together in front of a B-17 Flying Fortress aircraft named “Memphis Belle.” The aircraft’s nose art featuring a pin-up figure is visible. The sky behind them is warm and orange with clouds at sunset. The title “Memphis Belle” appears in large red script across the top of the poster above the crew.

I enjoyed this far more than the recent Masters of the Air TV series. Great cast, great characters, great story. Michael Caton-Jones is another one of those directors who seemed destined for greatness but somehow faded away.

Film poster for Hardware (1990). The design features a red-tinted image of a pair of human eyes seen through a digital grid with a green targeting crosshair centred between them. At the top the text reads “The Best Science-Fiction/Horror Film Since Alien.” Below that appears the line “Welcome to the 21st Century – Guess What’s Become the Planet’s Most Endangered Species?” The title “Hardware” appears in large bright green lettering near the bottom with the tagline “You Can’t Stop Progress.” Film credits appear in small blue text along the bottom of the poster.

This low-budget debut from Richard Stanley was absolute catnip to me and my mates in the early 90s. We were convinced he was going to be the next James Cameron. Then The Island of Dr. Moreau more or less killed his career.

A green gremlin arm holds a cigar above the chair, while Gizmo peeks out nervously from a desk drawer. The title appears in bold white lettering at the top against a dark blue background.

I remember loving this when I saw it back in 1990, but I’m not sure I’ve seen it since. If I have it was a long time ago. Definitely on the list for a rewatch.

Square image of the theatrical poster for Dick Tracy (1990) on a dark textured background. The design features Warren Beatty in a bright yellow trench coat and fedora walking forward with a tommy gun, accompanied by a small boy in a red cap. Behind them is a bold red circle against a black background with a stylised city skyline at the bottom. The title “DICK TRACY” appears in large yellow and red lettering. Illustrated portraits of supporting characters line the bottom of the poster.

Hard to believe now, but we were almost as excited about Dick Tracy as we were about Batman. All the ingredients were there. Somehow it still fell flat. Wikipedia claims it has a cult following — I’m not convinced.
