It's probably a good thing I don't have more wall space, as I'd probably fill them all with movie posters.

Plenty of inexpensive reprints, but they do have some pretty desirable stuff, like a genuine "Revenge of the Jedi" poster (the original name of the movie before it was changed to "Return of the Jedi" shortly before release)–yours for just $3500: https://www.movieposters.com/products/star-wars-revenge-of-the-jedi-mpw-129480

I am going to end up spending too much money on this website.

I’ve owned a few movie posters over the years but, oddly, never this one.

I love finding cool movie posters at different antique stores. While I do like the occasional print, nothing beats an original.

I've got this one sitting in my garage.  I gave it to my daughter but she sent it back once she went all girly on me.  Got to find a place for it.

I'm not sure what I was expecting the first time I watched Repo Man, but I was still left surprised and partially confused.

That being said, I definitely enjoyed it.

These days, $20,000 isn't an unreasonable price for a 1964 Malibu.

It’s not, right?

I first saw it at my friends’ house. VCR, of course, for our regular movie nights. The movie was maybe a year or so old at the time.

Totally changed everything.

Some of the reprints are priced higher than others so maybe they're official reprints and the business is not printing them themselves. --Which I think would get them into copyright issues.

I bought some cheap 24x36 posters off Amazon, one looked like they didn't have a large enough digital image to use so it's a ten-footer which is not great for a poster.

 

If I was a collector I'd go nuts for this Thunderball one:

Yeah, quality matters. I have some silkscreened concert promo pieces hanging here in my office. They’re crisp, even up close.

I have a mix of reprints of posters from old movies and real ones from when my kids worked at our local movie theater from 2016-21. The real ones are considerably better quality.

You knew I would be here, didn't you.  I have cheap reprints of all 3 original trilogy movie posters framed, but maybe I need to look into some real ones.  ...I did just do my taxes.
