An Great way to relive that movie magic in your home
Quality Movie Posters


The use of Movie Posters to decorate your home theater room is an effective way to bring about the Hollywood magic in the comfort of your home.

However, the fascinating world of movie pictures is more than just a beautiful poster hanging on your home theater wall promoting a favorite film. Go through this short series of articles to discover more.


 

Posters and Movie Memorabilia

Posters and Movie Memorabilia

 

Hang up a memory on your wall!

Well, it has become easier than ever to relive that magical experience of your favorite movies in the home.

Many home theater enthusiasts go into great detail about choosing their AV equipment - and that's the way it should be.

However, few realize that hanging up a few posters of their favorite movies on the walls of their home theater rooms, can help bring about the Hollywood magic in the air.

And this applies irrespective of whether this is a dedicated home theater, a living room home theater, bedroom, etc.,

It is true that poster presentation plays an important role in reliving that cinematic experience - however this all depends on the nature of your room. The ultimate is the use of a poster light box in a dedicated home theater room.

On our part, we have prepared a short series of articles that cover various topics - from poster presentation to poster books, poster sizes, etc.

We have also setup our Movie-Poster Online Store - in partnership with AllPosters and MovieGoods - to bring you the largest selection of posters and movie memorabilia available online, with hundreds of thousands of items from pricey originals to inexpensive replicas of the latest films as well as some of the best movie classics. Whether it is a classic movie picture of a western movie, or a poster of one of the latest film releases, it is all available at our posters online store.

 

But why AllPosters and MovieGoods?

One may argue that there are quite a number sources on the Internet that specialize in movie posters and related memorabilia - yet in our opinion AllPosters and MovieGoods have possibly the vastest range of inexpensive replicas and new movie posters online.

Ordering is simple, and service is quick from both suppliers. Both take great care in making the package strong to ensure that your movie poster is not damaged during transit.

Further more, both AllPosters and MovieGoods offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you may return it packed within the original package within 30 Days of receipt and you will receive a free replacement or a full refund for the price of the product.

 

What about Originals and Vintage Movie Posters?

Gone with the Wind (1954) - Original PosterClassic and Vintage Film Posters and related movie memorabilia have become valued collector items.

At well-known auction houses or distributors, collectible movie pictures in good to near mint condition can sell anywhere from a few hundreds to several thousand dollars. For example, an original 1954 film poster of the classic 'Gone with the Wind' movie in near mint condition would sell for around $2,000.

MovieGoods offer - in addition to the usual full range of inexpensive replicas and new movie posters - a most comprehensive range of authentic vintage movie posters covering all genres - often in mint condition at reasonable prices. They also regularly hold auction events featuring valuable rare originals. For more information, please visit the MovieGoods website.


It is more than just Movie Posters!

Movie Memorabilia

The Movie Poster is just the most common form of 'movie memorabilia' that you can find, but there is more.

A vast range of specialty products like wall tapestries, apparel, decorative mirrors, wall signs, magnets, coffee mugs, mouse pads, key-chains, and even stand-ups i.e. life-size cut-outs, are all available to decorate any corner, wall, or room within your house.

Interesting to note here that while the most common forms of memorabilia like apparel (shirts, hats, etc.), coffee mugs and possibly key-chains are available from most online suppliers - including Amazon, yet specialty products like wall tapestries, decorative mirrors, and stand-ups are normally available only from major movie memorabilia suppliers like AllPosters and MovieGoods.

Poster Presentation - Framing, Mounting and Light Boxes

Poster presentation is a most important aspect that should be taken into consideration when hanging a poster of your favorite movie on a wall. Appropriate presentation that matches with the rest of the room decor can help bring about the movie experience, but not only.

Presenting your newly acquired poster by framing or mounting will not only result in a more attractive finished product, it also represents an important step towards helping your posters stay nice for much longer.

Almost all online movie poster suppliers offer some sort of framing or mounting service. Both AllPosters and MovieGoods offer framing and mounting services at reasonable prices; you can choose from a variety of high quality poster frames, mats, and glass, while mounting is carried out on a durable hardboard backing.

As already stated, poster presentation needs to take into account the room decor. While both frames and mounts offer a great way of presenting a more attractive finish in any room, yet in the case of a dedicated home theater room, the ultimate in movie poster presentation is the backlit poster light box. The use of a backlit box will better help bring about the cinematic 'feeling' into your home.
