not sure if this is typical, but I put a poster in my cart, continued to check out how much shipping would be and a few days later I got an email from allposters with a 10% off coupon code(they said they could only hold cart items for 48 hours).
while on topic, do you guys have any recommendations/tips for displaying movie posters? I was thinking of ordering a few but I don't want to just tack them up, anyone know of anything that looks a little classier without killing my wallet? does wal-mart or maybe chain craft stores carry frames that would fit for a good price? the frame options on allposters look great but cost way too much, I was looking for something simple and cheap. also, reprints/reproductions should still be on par with the originals, right? thanks.

Wal-Mart carries frames designed specifically for official sized movie posters. I think I got one for less than $25 or so last spring. They've got a black frame with a plexiglass covering. Looks gorgeous and the cost was worth it.

Your local Suncoast stores have the 27x40 frames for around $20, too.
Slightly off topic: I'm looking for a quite rare Third Man poster, British release from the 1999 50th Anniversary, 27x40 horizontal (not the common vertical US one). If anyone can lead me to it (and it's within the going market price), there's a $20 DVD of your choice as a reward.

Also check these results: http://www.emovieposter.com/ebay%5Fr...word=third+man (you may have to contact them for further details).

eBay can work to your advantage, particularly if it's a poster not in demand. I picked up the "Heist" double-sided one-sheet for $2. Oh, and always get it shipped in a tube, not the triangle box!

Minor thing about frame size. Be careful if you buy/own an older 1-sheet, as the original movie theater poster size was 27" by 41." I believe they change it to 27x40 sometime in the 1990s (around the same time posters started getting shipped rolled, instead of folded.)
FYI: Other classic US movie poster sizes: Insert 14x36; Half-sheet 22x28; Window card 14x22; Lobby cards (usually in sets of 8) 11x14; Three-sheet 41x81; Six-sheet 81x81

I have started to look for posters for older films lately. What is with these terrible 11x17" reprints?
Honestly, I do not care if they are originals (too expensive anyway) but why are decent reprints only readily available in these miniature sizes? I want a movie poster not a movie page.

As for reprints, I have no problem whatsoever with them.

Here are some of my favorite places to shop for movie posters:
http://www.starscomeout.com/
http://www.filmposters.com/
http://www.posteritati.com/
For my own little "entertainment room" where I keep my DVD's I decided to primarily display U.S. Insert sized posters or Australian Daybills in the interest of space and due to the fact that I like the way they look. I've got a few pictures of them posted here:

Wal*Mart carries a 27x40 frame. It doesn't look right because there's an insert with a bunch of cutouts for smaller photos. If you remove that, voila... you have a movie poster frame for under $20.
