Plan on looking at it in reverse?" Probably the double sided version with the back printed reversed so the colour is more saturated when backlit? I like hanging them wrong side out.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 01-01-2006 01:43 AM                        I agree with that, but if you don't have a lit postercase, I don't think it would make much diffrence, would it?  |  IP: Logged Wolff King Morrow Master Film Handler Posts: 490 From: Denton, TX, USA Registered: Feb 2004 posted 01-01-2006 02:38 AM                        The Pirates of the Caribbean 2 poster looks badass as well. I called dibs on it at work.  |  IP: Logged Jamie Glossop Expert Film Handler Posts: 100 From: Nottingham Uk Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-01-2006 04:26 AM                        My 3 Fav films and posters have to be Azumi Battle Royal A Bronx Tale ( I juts love this film! ) I whould upload the pics using a free image host but for some reason the forum wont let me do it which is kind of stupid  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-01-2006 08:51 AM                     The only poster we have on permanent display (and my absolute favorite) is my prized insert poster from the 1956 reissue of "King Kong": We rotate other posters depending upon what we're showing in the basement cinema (right now, "Witness" is hanging up), but the artwork is often hit or miss. I really do like this "Star Wars" style D poster, with the 1930's style graphics and the remnants of old torn posters seemingly underneath. I remember first seeing it for it's 1980(?) re-release:  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-01-2006 06:43 PM                     Still my fave all-time poster, good old National Screen #74-294. It's one of the few posters I was allowed to take home with me after the run. I had it dry-mounted and framed, and hung it on a wall in my apartment. Less then a week later, my then-girlfriend refused to spend the night with me 'cause it creeped her out to much. "Either it goes or I go" she said. Wonder what ever became of her . . .  |  IP: Logged Scott Jentsch Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1061 From: New Berlin, WI, USA Registered: Apr 2003 posted 01-02-2006 10:10 AM                        quote: Joe Redifer I agree with that, but if you don't have a lit postercase, I don't think it would make much diffrence, would it? That's what this is for: The backlit case makes me glad I searched out double-sided versions of posters I liked even before I had something that would show them off this well.  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 01-02-2006 02:23 PM                        I liked the three one sheets from Pearl Harbor that matched up edge to edge. You don't see that very often, and it looked great in the poster cases: I could do without the "Ben Affleck Ben Affleck Ben Affleck" across the top though. Another case where the poster and trailer were better than the film. quote: Jamie Glossop I whould upload the pics using a free image host but for some reason the forum wont let me do it which is kind of stupid Thats so the forum can maintain its integrity when your free image server shuts down in a few years (or weeks).  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-03-2006 12:50 AM                     Nice triptych, Adam! Fear not, though, as you go from left to right, the Ben Affleck is "fading fast" . --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Adam Wilbert Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 590 From: Bellingham, WA, USA Registered: Mar 2002 posted 01-03-2006 12:56 AM                        I'm afraid thats because I had to photoshop that together from different images I found on the net. I couldn't find one that had all three together.  |  IP: Logged Michael Coate Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1904 From: Los Angeles, California Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-03-2006 10:55 AM                     quote: Hillary Charles I really do like this "Star Wars" style D poster, with the 1930's style graphics and the remnants of old torn posters seemingly underneath. I remember first seeing it for it's 1980(?) re-release I like this one, too. Of the numerous "Star Wars" posters, this one is probably my favorite. That and perhaps the "Empire" advance with Vader's head in a starfield. The "Star Wars" Style D, by the way, was used for the film's summer 1978 re-release.  |  IP: Logged Matt Barth Film Handler Posts: 46 From: Albuquerque, NM 87109 Registered: Oct 2005 posted 01-03-2006 11:40 AM                     Hanging above my desk is the We Were Soldiers original...on order for my full-size back-lit case, American Psycho Style B Teaser. ---Matt  |  IP: Logged Hillary Charles Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 748 From: York, PA, USA Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-03-2006 04:45 PM                     quote: Michael Coate The "Star Wars" Style D, by the way, was used for the film's summer 1978 re-release. Good call, Michael! I do remember when I saw it at the time, there was a trailer for "The Empire Strikes Back." That was one of my main reasons to go see it again. Would there have been a teaser trailer that early, or might that poster have been used later as well?  |  IP: Logged
