I found ebay useful as well. Just type in size and movie frame and bam!

[Zero_Cool]

if you are looking for a normal size movie poster like from a theater. Its 27'' by 40". They have some cheap ones at wal-mart $20-$25.

I've never seen a 27x40 at Wal-Mart. Always 24x36. Back when I lived in Hawaii, there was a Suncoast, they had 27x40 poster frames for $20 each.

Wal-mart, like someone else said.

24x36 or 27x40 for $20.

I just bought some moulding and am going to make my own. I paid $2.75 a foot for the material. I have several odd sized posters and pictures, and I want all the frames to match.

I had a problem with finding frames to fit my posters too. I found a place called Prints Plus that did them for me, but it's not cheap. It was $100 a poster, but with non-glare glass! No reflections from the TV in my posters!!!

Yeah, getting the proper glass is important. If you have an original poster I would recommend springing for UV blocking glass. Oh and acid free cardboard for the backing.

Purchased two 27"x40" for $50 at Michaels. Have not taken new photos yet, but 100% improvement over the old poster strips().

While it admittedly is a more permanent solution, I have laminated most of mine. I don't invest in orginals or collectables, so i'm not concerned about ruining the prints; generally it's about $20 for the poster re-print and $50 to laminate. No glare, and i like the non-framed look of them.

I'm buying two of these now that they are finally in stock.

I like the idea of front loading the posters so I can easily change them. They look pretty cool too.

+1. Exactly what I do.

Laminating looks much better than framing too IMHO. They also take up less space, are lighter and lie more flat on the wall. Also hate reflection and imperfections related to framing as well.

I have my light box for originals, which I swap out from time to time.

Not a fan of exposed originals, especially with children afoot. Also not sure how the clipping on works. I would imagine they could leave stress marks on your poster. Not bad for prints though.

EDIT: I think the video was misleading, it looks like they include a plastic sheet to lie over the poster before clipping, which makes sense. Not bad ... not bad at all.

I get a lot of my posters block mounted, but I just go to Michael's for others.

I went to try and price up a frame for my UK Bad Taste poster (Landscape), and the prices I was quoted was staggering, one place wanted over $NZ400, and that was just for a basic frame too, nothing fancy.

I ended up just laminating it.
