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.

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

They look great!

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.

Attack of the Giant Creatures

Beautiful, jonesjb! A common theme, with complimenting colors. Love 'em!!

And those pure, black frames make for the perfect completing of each.
