Title: Let's See Your Double Features
Post by: jonesjb on September 23, 2016, 08:37:54 PM

I recently started collecting vintage movie posters. I wanted to display my posters, but didn't want them to dominate all rooms of the house. My approach is to use a double billing set of frames on a feature wall. I look for common themes and enjoy switching them up, it's a fun way to change the ambience of the room. Just thought I'd share my approach in case others are interested; Here are photos of my Double Feature billings:

Invasion from Space (The Blob and Not of this Earth):

Urban Drama (City that Never Sleeps and When Worlds Collide):

Framing was done by Sue from Hollywoodposterframes (www.hollywoodposterframes.com), and I highly recommend her. She was very helpful and really has passion for the art form. I went with a flat 1.5 inch archival frame coupled with a 1.5 inch off white mat. It offers a sleek profile and fits any of my one sheets.  I'm planning on searching out some more posters that will work as a a pair.

Does anyone else display this way? If so please share your Double Features!

Cool setup with the double features.  cool1

The local theater does that throughout most of the place, with a few solos around.  After thinking about it, it's a great idea.

Very good.  They look spot on.

Are they both 1 Sheets?  They look quite square, unless it is just the angle of the photo

Yes they are US 1 sheets, I think it's the angle of the photo. Here they are from the front.

I think I only have one double bill.  Flags of our Fathers/Letters From Iwo Jima Japanese B1.

I decided to switch up my double feature. I like how the green and red in each poster off complement each other.

The latest pairing works really well together... AND was perfect for the 2017 Halloween season! Very cool, Jeff.  cool1

I updated the double feature wall to 70's Grindhouse! I like this mix, because they have a similar art style and each feature a giant jungle creature.

Great stuff, I'll add these two, didn't think about matching hand motif until after I saw them together:

Nice, Jeff. Looking good!

Do you also have a mat around each of these posters?

Title: Re: Let's See Your Double Features
Post by: jonesjb on January 15, 2018, 03:26:23 PM

Yes, the frames have a off white/tan mat on each.
