I was thinking Tobor (because of Robots from the clue...), but haven't had time to keep looking.
-
For some reason I'm thinking Forrest Gump for 665, but I don't think so.
-
Interesting that they went to the trouble of printing the posters before knowing if they could show it or not.
-
Did you know that the original plan was for him to have a different accent in each film? I'm glad they didn't go with that idea.
-
C664 is Knives Out (2019). Great mystery film.
-
Is 244 The Invisible Boy (1957)?
-
Great examples of the wide range of cards produced over the years. At least in the US you had NSS producing cards of consistency, here it looks like each distributor had their own way of printing through whatever printer they happened to be using at…
-
Look, it made lots of money, and made a lot of people laugh...but I find a lot of modern comedy very forced.
-
Ah, The Hangover! (I thought this subject was about comedies?).....each to his own I guess.
-
At last, a horror film I know!
350 is Lifeforce (1985) -
(Quote) That's what they remind me of, old hand coloured photos. My parents' wedding photo is like that.

This is an example from NFSA to get the discussion started (which you probably already have).
No printer credits, which makes me think it's some kind of photographic process (which is then hand or machine coloured).in Rare Australian Posters Of Australian Films Comment by dedeposter April 18

No, it felt like photographic paper, certainly not like US lobby cards.
-
I really probably haven't seen that many in total, but more than I'd have expected to see over the years. Usually just singles in small amounts, not whole sets. They would just randomly appear in places that had daybills for sale (Like Space Age boo…

But TIERNEY is what your eyes are drawn to, not Lawrence
-
C662 is it Hobson's Choice from 1954?
-
At first I thought they'd meant Gene Tierney seeing that the names are reversed from what the pictures of the actors above are. I think that was a deliberate ploy by the marketing department!
-
I thought it wasn't that rare too. I'm sure I had (or have) one somewhere too.
-
I used to think they were reissues, but having seen so many of them I think they were just a cheaper printing alternative.
-
That narrows it down then. Starship Invasions (1977)
-
Is 243 Starcrash (1978)?
-
Ah! Finally got 348 - in my mind I was thinking The Woman In White...but that got me nowhere with searches, so then found The Woman In Black (2013). All the clues were there!
-
I'd say it was so they had a wider audience to view the film in it's initial release, same reason why there was a PG rated version of Saturday Night Fever released after the first release to get a younger audience, who wanted to see it, but couldn't…
-
I think you're right, it has that MGM look about it. I was thinking The Time Machine but knew that wasn't correct.
-
When I first came across the B&W cards I thought they were just limited photograph versions that someone had done, it wasn't until much later I found out they were actual Australian 'lobby cards'. Nothing like the quality of the US versions.
I wish I had some!242 looks familiarAha! I was thinking Harold Lloyd originally but looks like it's Whoopee! (1930) - with Eddie Cantor.C2 - Annie Get Your Gun (1946)?And odd that it seems to have been printed specially for the Australian Two cinema.
