'When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things' – Corinthians 13:11.

That's you, that is, mournfully rolling up a Pulp Fiction poster and yanking blue tack from the walls. You're moving in with your partner, and they understandably don't want the new flat to look like a disused Blockbuster branch. So all of those movie posters you collected at university – Fight Club, A Clockwork Orange, Scarface – are destined for the bin, to be replaced by Hockneys and house plants. It's truly for the best.

But you can't help it. You need at least one piece of movie memorabilia in the flat to truly make it your own. A small patch of wall space to remind you that, hey, Garden State was pretty good, wasn't it? And if that's the case, then we suggest looking to Japan for inspiration, where the film posters are generally more stylistically exciting and bizarre than their Western counterparts, especially back in the mid-century.

The beautiful Japanese James Bond posters of the Sean Connery and Roger Moore eras are a great example. That's why we've collected some of our favourites, from the crinkly sci-fi illustration for Moonraker to From Russia With Love's big floating head. Have a look below.
