My contribution, as well as a few of my favorites. The Fly may be closer to horror. I think it's a combination.

Great posters. Is there a site that sells classic movie posters. I've been looking for a theme for my room and that would be a good way to redo it.

This is a great site, a bit expensive, but cool to look at...

I own a linen-backed original of this one and it's framed one foot from me right now. BTW, the color is too saturated in this photo and does not do the poster justice.

Here's a couple quick shots of my poster that shows the real color. The lamp on the left made it a bit lighter than the right side. I had to shoot it from the side due to window reflections.

I really like the Forbidden Planet poster. I painted my computer room recently, and hadn't decided what to put up yet (since the old posters just don't work in there anymore). If I can find that poster, that'll be one of the things I put up.
