Topic: what posters are on your walls?

Seeing as how we all like movies as well, I thought I'd ask what posters (if any) you guys, and gals, have up on your walls.I've got: The Rock, Face/Off, The Shadow, two Jennifer Love Hewitts, and Shania Twain. (Anybody know where I can find a Sandra Bullock poster?)
(Course, I have another dozen or so posters that I got while working at Blockbuster, but I'm currently all out of room).
So what posters do you have up?

Because my wife & I are both commercial illustrators as well as movie buffs, we have framed one-sheets of our favorite movie posters all over the house:"The Natural"
"Hamlet" (Gibson/Close)
"Silverado" (wonderful Bob Peak!)
"Raiders Of The Lost Ark" (both the original & re-release Amsel versions)
"Star Wars" (The Drew re-release version)
"Indiana Jones And The Last Crusade"
"Star Trek: The Wrath Of Khan" (Peak version)
"Star Trek: The Search For Spock" (also Peak)PLUS:
In my office I have the Bob Peak poster of Jerry Goldsmith that came along with the "Suites & Themes" CD. The idiots FOLDED it!!! GRRRRR! However, I dry-mounted it, so the creases are rather well-flattened. It looks great.

LEGEND OF THE 8-TOMBED HELL (Japanese, 1960, some people call it the first-ever splatter film. Original title is simply HELL, so I'm guessing this is a reissue poster, but the weirdest thing about it is, it doesn't even have the studio's name on it. It's unmistakably the same picture, though.)I am proud to own a quite beautiful STAR WARS poster that was enclosed with the original 2-LP soundtrack in 1977. I think it better than any of the subsequent art (some of which is also great) -- but it's also better to my mind than any of the ACTUAL posters for A NEW HOPE. That's just me ...

Somewhere on these walls are composer-signed posters for Air Force One, Contact, others. Anyone interested in buying them off me? They are nicely framed... I don't know how on earth they can be mailed, but I guess it's possible.Hey, Chris. Did you know that Matthew Peak (Bob's son) is planning to sell off a lot of the originals of the posters you own? That was the last thing I heard, he might have sold them already. Some going for $10,000+ ! Perhaps we can check mjpeak's website for more info.... www.mjpeak.com ?

I got Originals of Tank Girl, Pulp Fiction, Braveheart,and reprints of Episode 1, Star Wars "Style A" and a Empire Strikes Back promo poster. But here is my pride and joy:It's a Star Wars Trilogy poster promoting the very very first widescreen box set (the one with the hologram cover and the book in it). This poster is 27X40 and features original movie poster artwork from all three movies, and simply says "Star Wars Trilogy" over the top. I paid $45 and last time I checked about 5 years ago it went up to around $65. Currently I have it custom framed, and the frame itself cost $70!. So the over-all price value of the thing is like $130! Not bad if I do say so myself. God knows how much its worth now with the release of Episode 1 on VHS... It prolly skyrocketed up to the $400 price range.

I just painted my room, so consequently don't have any posters up. Actually, I didn't have any movie posters on the walls, just a few rock groups (Rush, Styx, etc.)I did have the cut-away poster of the USS Enterprise that they gave away at the premiere of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
When I worked in the video store, I got my hands on quite a few posters, which are all rolled up in cardboard tubes in my closet.
I probably won't put any posters up, as I've amassed quite a few of my own photos I've taken over the years, and I will put them up. Sort of my own private gallery exhibition.

I don't really collect posters, and so my wall contains not one. But I do have a few packed away, either in my garage or bedroom closet.A couple of THE LOST WORLD supported by cardboard, still wrapped in plastic. One a credits poster, the other featuring two glow-in-the-dark T-Rexes; the little one with one parent...
An NHL team helmet poster from at least five years ago, Western and Eastern Conferences...
A couple of STAR WARS posters, one of the first film (or fourth, whichever way you look at it), and one I picked up for free at Tower Records back when the Special Edition CDs were released in early 1997, commemorating Williams' three scores; it shows all three album covers and says "Three Reasons Why They Make Stereos."
And one with the Denver Broncos cheerleaders from the 1998-99 season (I think that's the correct year; might be from 1997-98; in any case, it's from one of their Back-to-Back campaigns-THE BRONCOS ARE GREAT!) with about six of their signatures. (I used to have a very nice poster of John Elway, but being very young at the time, I didn't treat it with appropriate care, and unfortunately, I no longer have it.)

I used to have pretty much every square inch of my room filled with posters. However an few years ago, I removed them all, so I could paint the room. Sheesh, after all that, my room looked like an block of Swiss cheese.
As of now though, I have one framed poster on my wall, it is of the Japanese Anime series Fatal Fury.
I love poster artwork. However that is why I collect artbooks. It makes it an lot easier to collect it, and does not mess up the walls.

I have an original theatrical poster of RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK ("Indiana Jones - the new hero from the creators of JAWS and STAR WARS").
Cool thing is: it is actually signed by The Big Three - Spielberg, Ford, and John Williams! Got the picture of them signing it.
Don't ask how much it cost me.

My dad's got an original Last Crusade and an original Missing In Action.HRocco - I'd be even more obsessed with the Ford Mustang if I had one with my real obsession in the passenger seat.

And does anybody else here have the Predator poster? Not for one of the movies. It's off the Predator itself, with certain features of the suit and weapons pointed out and shown in detailed close-up boxes, with descriptions. No one else I know has even heard of it.

My pride and joy of the posters up on my wall would have to be my framed and dry mounted original US theatrical one sheet's of 'The Matrix', and 'The Phantom Menace'.Also on my wall resides an Exorcist 1998 UK theatrical re-release one sheet, a Cartman "beefcake" poster, a DTS poster, and a poster for the 1998 tour of UK comic Steve Coogan.
I have small prints of the original posters to Casablanca, Gojira, Frobidden Planet, Citizen Cane and Rear Window also on my walls.
On my bedroom door is a Homer Simpson "d'oh" poster and just outside my room is a framed and dry mounted original theatrical teaser poster for 'The Phantom Menace.'
