Next....A few forgotten films here!

The Reaper Man@Cult Labs 5th June 2019 08:56 PM

Codename:The Soldier-an action classic and an artwork classic!

Confessions of a Police Captain-there's another ripe for discovery!

Beware of cheapo label dvds of this-they make Vipco look like Criterion!

A few familiar faces here eh?

Could never understand that Final Exam cover though...not a lot of thought went into that eh?

A great thread for a great label, Reaps - the blue and white spines looked great lined-up together when I used to collect tapes in the late '80s/early '90s.

I had a fair few of them. BABY LOVE was a pretty rare one, as was CONFESSIONS OF A POLICE CAPTAIN.

Escape from New York was one of the first films that I remember renting (in about 1983/1984).

I didn't realise Fourth Man was on Embassy! I had SPETTERS though and it was cut to f---...

Modern day designers for dvd/blu ray labels should take note of some of the classic artwork from the past.

Rider on the Rain and Road Games are another two outstanding covers.
