OSS 117 Poster Contest Winners

And the winners of the contest for the American theatrical poster for OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies are...

Yvonne Olsen of Ontario, Canada, who cites the eurospy flick New York Calling Super Dragon as her favorite spy spoof...

Michael Huie of North Carolina, USA, who's already seen OSS 117: Cairo Nest of Spies, and picked that as his favorite...

Bruce Grossman of Massachusetts, USA, who chose Where the Spies Are with David Niven...

Josh Kushins of California, USA, who picked Top Secret!...

...and Robert Haffner, of Missouri, USA, who selected Our Man Flint...
...which was by far the most popular choice among contest entrants. Other favorites ran the gamut from the first Austin Powers (no one picked either of the lousy sequels) to, ahem, Moonraker. Deadlier Than the Male was mentioned by lots of people as well, but most ultimately decided it wasn't actually a parody. That's a tough call. It's definitely tongue in cheek, but ultimately no moreso than Goldfinger, I'd say. A great movie, though, hands down!

Congratulations to all the winners. Your posters will be mailed out in the next few days. And if you didn't win this time, stay tuned. Another contest is always just around the corner on the Double O Section...
