Art House Movie Posters
Friday, October 06, 2006
What do you get when your favourite local art house cinema starts giving away its reserve of original theatrical posters from over the past 10 years? A lot of freakin' awesome and huge posters, that's what. The rest of this blog entry is just one giant boast and a list of pictures. The most impressive of finds was the Welcome to the Dollhouse poster, a rare little Todd Solondz feature from 1996 that is hard enough to find on DVD and the David Lynch/Disney team up in "The Straight Story", the soundtrack for which contains "Lauren's Walking" by Angelo Badalamenti, one of my consistently favourite tracks.

Here we go:

Signs

Note the weights to hold down the poster and prevent it rolling up again - some of these have been rolled in storage for years.

Welcome to the Dollhouse

To illustrate how big these posters are the next pictures are of the ones posted on my walls. These were the first posters I found and I haven't changed them for my more favourable films yet:

The Others & Memento

The Straight Story, Doom the Movie (heh), The Talented Mr. Ripley, Corpse Bride

If people have interest in any of these I might be willing to "swap" for a large Ghost World or Lost in Translation (vertical with Scarlett Johansson) poster.
