Frames for movie posters
In some of the photos people posted showcasing their DVD's and home theaters, some people have nice movie posters in frames. When I checked around the internet, I found those posters for around $16, but it appears the frames cost over $100. Is there any good place to buy those frames cheaper?

Their snap open version is a little expensive but worth it if you like to cycle through posters.

Nope I just have their snap-open frames. They attach to a wall and only have a clear plastic cover to put over the poster but overall they look really nice and are very easy to deal w/.

I have NEVER found a 27x40 at a big retailer like Target/Wal-Mart/Meyer's/K-mart. I look all the time too(mutliple stores/multiple locations).
24x36 is the biggest I have seen at those stores.

I only use cheap frames for the basement area...otherwise I take all mine into a framer and have them custom-fitted and styled. a few of mine also are lighted. I spend between $75 and $200 on frames...all depends on the film/print itself.

I have all of my frames custom made. Yes, they are more expensive, but I prefer to make certain they're mounted on acid-free backing and I also use non-glare glass, which really highlights the poster without reflecting everything else in the room, something the Suncoast frames cannot do.

If you have an IKEA near you, they sell frames that are supposedly 26x39, but I've never had a problem fitting standard movie posters in them. They run about $20.

I purchase all my archival UV filtered / anti-glare frames here:

Great service, great product, fair prices...
The amount you should spend on a frame really depends what your framing. Vintage originals or reprints.
