The completely random collection of posters on my office walls at the end of 2009.

The "Good Woman" poster gets the gold star out of this group.

The Diner tagline is classic: "Suddenly, life was more than french fries, gravy, and girls."

P.S. iPhone + Office Picture Manager = not so great pics, I'm afraid.

Juli, cool stuff but you need to show some love to your posters, my man.  Spend some bucks on $55 fixed frames from Susan at Hollywood Poster Frames and/or $75 flip frames from Spotlight Displays and/or (last choice) $39 Trendsetter frames from Michael's.  You won't regret it.

I wouldn't know how to put the frames up though. Never hung a frame in my life.

Oops, I was going to answer my own post earlier, but with Christmas, New Year, traveling and guests, NO TIME :(  A little better now, but not quite yet.

Anyhow, as far as movie posters go, this is what I have up.  Aside from the Bardot poster, which I will change at some point, the other 3 have been up since 2004.

At the moment I only have 3 posters up. One is a Jack and the beanstalk Panto poster from the 30's. 
It's more than a Hobby...

^ Wow! Just curious, they allow you to put posters on your walls at work? You are very lucky. Makes work much funner to be able to have nice stuff like that on your walls while your working.

I just got a real Schindler's List poster and decided to put it up where the video poster used to be.

I used Mylar corners to put the poster up, and taped the Mylar corners, thus the poster can be taken down without any damage  :)

Chris, those are cool.  What are they? Window cards?

Thanks Brude.

They are about 11x14 and similar to window cards.  However, they were made by a secondary printer "Victor Cornelius" in Eastland, Texas.  They may have been used in windows or in restaurants (on the table or in the menu) to advertise the Bogie movies.  I am fairly confident they date from the actual release of both films in 1941. 

I think they are pretty unique/interesting and will be happy to have them up on the wall!

I know, and I am hoping in a few months you still do.  My problem is with the terrible shipping cost, and that is the only reason I passed on it before.  Since it cannot be rolled for shipping, its brutal.  If it was not for that, I would be all over it.  And after I have recovered from buying some major pieces for my collection and the birth of my daughter, I plan to talk to you about one of those you have!

Here is what is up on my walls:

Two of the frames were ordered in the wrong size. So I reordered the sizes I needed and kept the frames that were the wrong size and made the best of it. I never intended to display the posters I did in those frames. As for the others, everything but the B0 will be switched out when I feel the need for a change and want to display something else new.

I have a b1 and a b2 that I still need to photograph and upload that is not pictured.

Heres a link to view them - http://www.moviepostermadness.com/Movie_Poster_Madness/Framed_Posters.html
