Acquiring high-resolution screenshots from movies?

[dominoSTL]

Doesn't have to be blu-ray per se, but i'm looking to print up a couple of poster sized images from my favorite movies for my walls.

Any advice on how to get really high dpi/high res/high pixel images? I've searched google for images, obviously, but none of them would print out at poster size very well, and I want to make some alterations in photoshop before sending them off.

Any help would be appricieated.

Define images? Are you looking for actual movie posters at high resolution or just screenshots from your favorite movies. I know here on Blu-ray.com website you can probably print out the 1080p screenshots from the movie reviews. The only thing is there will be a Blu-ray.com watermark in the corner!

I want to create (in photoshop) and then print my own movie posters. I have the ability to print images that large - and on poster paper, but don't know how to get images large enough that it won't get super pixelated when it's blown up to poster size.

Talking about something that would have to be 3300x4000 (roughly) pixels with 300dpi.

In my whole library of images, I only have one that large. I think images that large are usually provided by the studio. The one that I have is from The Dark Knight and I got it from one of the viral marketing sites. I'll try to upload the one I've got. I had a hell of a time downloading it. It's not a huge file, but for a photo it's pretty big. 4050x6000 and it's 28MB.

Nevermind, WB still has a link to the poster. It's 300dpi.

It might take a while to load the photo.
