Home Theater Posters.... - Blu-ray Forum

Cadrian · 01-28-2009, 04:43 PM

I wanted this thread for discussing posters and to show off posters from everyones Home Theater rooms.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

My idea around my growing small collection is that I want them to start up a conversation, show my personal taste, or to just look cool

I can really care less about their worth or if they are orginals.

These are my posters that I own, Sucks Most of them arent even on blu-ray. In other posts I am going to show my wish list....

My Shogun Assiassin Poster.... I would rather have a Lone Wolf and Cub, but can't seem to find one.

True Romance.... One of my favorite movies.

House of Fools.... I didnt like this movie alot, but the Poster was cool as hell.

Good thread. I've been collecting(or trying at least) double-sided theatrical posters for nearly 10 years. In my new media room I'm building, I want to install 2 backlit poster marquees so I can finally display those suckers.

On the subject of double-sided posters, does anyone know when studios started making them that way? I'm noticing in the process of collecting that a lot(if not all) of the posters from the late 80's and earlier are single-sided and tend to be folded up instead of rolled.

My pride and joy is an original movie poster print of BRAZIL.
Pay'd big bucks for it @17 years ago and had it mounted.
Curious what it might be worth now?

I know a mounted poster might not be as valuable but it's in pristine shape.

I HAVE 4 NOW, 3 CAN BE SEEN IN MY GALLERY, I'M LOOKING TO START COLLECTING MORE.

Right now in my home theater I have both Batman and Batman returns posters... I also have a composite mini poster of the star wars original trilogy that was given at a movie theater I wnet to back in 1997 when the special edition was released...

Another one I have on a wall (though it does not count as a poster) is the piece of film from Schinlder's list from the collector's edition released some years ago on DVD... the little girl on the red dress...

I will try to upload some pics of my home theater soon...

The date on the bottom reads March 7th 1997, but the actual release date was actually pushed back by a week.

I like the small posters you have framed....I need to do something like that, for a back wall. I want to put up so many movies.

Anyone ever done anything with Movie Photos, I see them everywhere and they usually are the pic of the best scene in a movie. I was thinking of making some kind of collection of those as a display.

I found a Lone Wolf and Cub Poster!!!
Found it on Malaysia Ebay

Cost me 35 bucks shipped, but well worth it.

Thanks, I have seen some stills while looking for posters, the Band of Brothers one I have isn't the poster I was looking for, but it sufficed. Was thinking about doing stills for the shelves behind my sofa, not sure though.

I wish that site's prices were accurate. My poster collection would be worth thousands of dollars.

The Brazil poster probably is a pretty decent collector's item, but a lot of the others listed on that site can be had for much less.

well ya.... Retail price and private seller price I would figure would vary. that was just a 2 second google, but it is a price someone is selling them for.

Petra_Kalbrain · 01-29-2009, 11:43 AM

I have mounted posters of the following...

Braveheart
Back To The Future
Moulin Rouge
Dead Poets Society
Shawshank Redemption
Superman (not a movie poster, but a blue poster with the red and yellow house of El logo)

You know what's funny? I come across this thread less than 12 hours after taking these posters out of storage from when I moved to Vancouver over 1 year ago!!! IT'S A SIGN!!! THEY NEED TO BE DISPLAYED IMMEDIATELY!
