re: The Film Posters thread
Here are the Alamo Drafthouse prints I currently own. These jpgs don't do these prints justice. The colers are incredible in person.
This one is astounding in person. The the black writing and filigree is letterpressed.
Everything that isn't black in the Alien poster glows in the dark. Even the boarder.

I have an album with most of my posters. Took the pictures myself, so they are at an odd angle, since I laid them on a table.

The ones that I don't have with me at the time are:
12 Monkeys (with the main actors on poster)
Punch Drunk Love
Out of Sight
Lord of the Rings: Two Towers
and a few others I can't remember now.
Have more banners as well, but those I really don't remember which they are.

I have the Turkish version of the Daughters of Darkness poster. Makes me want the original even more.
I found the best way to display posters without framing them and without damaging them is to cut a one inch cardboard strip for the front/back/top/bottom and clamp the poster with bull clips. Then attach it to the wall via sticky dots on the cardboard.

Curious as to why you don't frame them.

I was at the once-in-a-lifetime screening of Goldfinger at Fort Knox, literally across the street from the gold depository. This print was created just for that event and limited to only 300 pieces. For Christmas 2008, my friends conspired with my wife and got it custom framed for me (it's 20x34; very unusual dimensions). It's on display on the wall beside our TV.

No kidding, you have to be near a computer when the more popular films drop, or you are going to miss out. I missed the Monster Squad drop. One thing I do not like is that most of the prints from Mondo are not signed. Often the artists will release some from the same #'ed run that are signed, but that is a crap shoot too.

Is there a way to know when Alamo puts posters up? I checked tuesday and nothing, randomly checked today and the Wolfman posters were sold out.

I've got... The Blues Brothers, Halloween, Nightmare on Elm St, Phantom of the Opera, and Escape from Alcatraz Mondo prints. They're located here in Austin (inside the Alamo Drafthouse @ South Lamar) so... not internet needed (most of the time)
I really should take some pics of my poster collection sometime... I've got over 40 prints. I only collect Advance A/B/C posters for films because I love the way they're teasing and minimalist as compared to Release A/B/C posters.
I think the Kill Bill Advance sword poster w/ mylar insert (which also has the incorrect date of Fall 2003 before the film was split and pushed back) ... Lost in Translation Advance B (with Scarlett Johansson holding an umbrella... before the film won any awards), and Star Wars Episode II Advance (which actually came out before it was called 'Attack of the Clones') are the most valuable ones I have.
