However, Swingers came out within a month of The English Patient so it's possible double-sided ones are out there, unless Miramax started producing double-sided posters with The English Patient as they were pushing for an Oscar with that film and they did nine times over and maybe they wanted the spend a bit more on marketing for that film over Swingers. I don't remember every carrying Swingers but I am finding stuff all the time as my inventory organization continues, so if I find one I will check it to see if it double or single-sided.

Happy New Year's early to everyone, be safe!

At least some of the Crow posters sent to movie theaters were double sided. I remember getting them in after I bought a single sided at a comic convention.

Thanks! I like it too. I'd love to have a 27x40 of it, but I figured it'd look best where I can hang it horizontally. Can't wait for it to come so I can trash this broken frame.

You could be thinking of the sequel to The Crow, which was "City of Angels" but there are no double-sided posters for the first film, I confirmed with Miramax Pictures many years ago, that was the same year as Pulp Fiction (1994) and no double-sided ones were produced for each film. If you have any double-sided ones for the first film (advance or final), I'd love to see them.

Are you sure he wasn't trying to send you a message?

Happy new year everyone!

Dunno, but what's worth doing is that if the cinema is screening a film in which you would like the poster for, kindly ask them for a poster and they'll most likely just give it to you, mate. Obviously you would have to do this when the film is actually running in cinemas. I would simply look on Ebay.com for that very Only God Forgives poster.

You can pick up Randy Ortiz's awesome version over here...

Some of you might have seen some of the individual pieces I had framed. Bought a new house in November, and finally got my basement all together.

I have a couple other pieces at the framers and will eventually post some photos of the upstairs rooms.

That is indeed a very pretty version. Beautiful in fact. Unfortunately, it's on the expensive side at £52 quid, but it's certainly pretty...don't suppose he has a Ginger Snaps poster does, he?

You, my friend, are a big show off. In addition to the space of your house being more that desirable, you've got some lovely posters. Night Of The Living Dead, They Live, awesome posters and nicely framed. Makes me want to stop freelancing and just a full time job so I can get a house the size and frame some of my favourite films. I'm jealous ):

Finally framed and hung up my quad along with a BBT poster.

The 24x36 Metropolis poster will take place of the Star Wars poster.

The only place that I have seen any original one sheets of this poster have been on eBay, I say "have been" because I currently cannot see any up, even under worldwide.

I have seen one up, that was listed around the £150 mark. Certainly not cheap.

I am glad I got my Drive one sheet from eBay when I did.

Just amazing, thanks for sharing.

DMR has the Thor Dark World final style up. It's listed under the paper goods section for some reason. They have another listed but now l forget what it was, sorry.

I should really start banking those Disney points. I hardly ever enter them. I've only used them once. When The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe came out on Dvd back in 2006, I had enough for a few small things, but I decided to spend them on dvds for children's hospitals. For each donation, I think they gave 3 movies to each hospital. It made me feel good knowing I might've made a kids' day

I work in a Cinema(im the poster guy) and can say that some managers are very strict about giving out posters to customers as technically they belong to the film studios, but dont be afraid to ask, i give them out occasionally. Its always best to ask for a poster on the day of release or the day after. Do not ask for a poster before release as they cannot be given out. Most cinemas also allow staff members first choice on posters (makes up for the poor wage) so dont be suprised if they dont have any. Kids films(especially dreamworks) are easier to get ahold of as they send about 30 to each cinema

I hae the single sided one. I was asking because its the only single sided one i have. I remember you saying Miramax didnt do doubles a LONG time ago in the thread. Just wanted to make sure this was 1 of them. Thanks for the info and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

I'd like Drive, Pusher and Only God Forgives but it's going to be damn near impossible!
