Spookily enough I was decluttering some boxes from the attic last weekend and came across a pile of film poster postcards from France and Belgium (I used to collect them). And yes, Dents de Mer was there.

You might like the Polish posters site -a huge collection of posters created by Polish artists for film, theatre, etc. Not only are the titles of imported films translated and/or changed, posters are created, often far surpassing the original artwork.
