For me Peter jacksons best is HEAVENLY CREATURES...

A shocking revelation, indeed.
I figured you'd say BAD TASTE or DEAD ALIVE (BRAIN DEAD).

  ...but HEAVENLY CREATURES?  hitself

As a teen I loved bad taste and saw and live brain dead at the cinema, but as an adult, I have re watched bad taste and it wasn't the same, I haven't seen brain dead since the cinema, I'll give it a go some day, but not n a rush.
Heavenly creatures however I rewatch every year or two, especially one scene, which blows me away (stocking slam) it's a very powerful film. Frightened I only watched recently and that I didn't like.

Ew, that looks depressing. It also takes the attention from the poster

I agree. I like my posters to have low-profile contemporary frames in the same colour as the wall that they are hung on so there is no distraction.

I like it, I love extravagant frames, I understand it doesn't really work for movie posters, but I still like it.

The overly ornate frame sorta works for me.  It looks as though it could have cime from the lobby of an old movie palace.  Still prefer my stuff in simple black mat and frame though.

Somebody sent me this Q, anybody have an answer?

Hello – I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction as far as getting something appraised.  When I was young, my aunt worked for Buena Vista Entertainment, and she gave me an ET movie poster, but it’s made of metal (tin I think) and the letters are “raised” on it.    I know it’s original from the shading on the trees (and because she gave it to me when I was a kid, and I’m 37 now) but I can’t find much on it.  Have you seen these ET metal/tin original movie posters?

I'd ask what the shading on the trees has anything to do with anything.

Can't imagineit was ever used for promotion, except as a by product of commercial sale. But I guess T will know the answer.

I thought the same thing.

Maybe something to do with ET authentications some place?

I am guessing the ET is an 11x17 "masterprint" POS.

It would be good to know the exact size, too.

If smaller, say, 11x17, it sounds like it could be a promotional piece of some kind.

haha, so I read Mel's question and thought to myself 'shading on the tree?' and had a look online at some pics, couldn't work out what that meant in terms of 'originality' and came back to the thread...seems I was not alone

I think Mel did some write up about the shading, I think something about the brightness or contrast of the leaves in the moon light. It was one of the ways to spot a fake for this poster. Probably I'm talking bollocks, I dont collect modern stuff like ET, though as Ari pointed out I do have Fast and Furious poster

Guess Mel should have included the following disclaimer:  "If your poster is made of metal, it is not an original even if the trees are evenly shaded"  ;)

Maybe it's a really early advance from before we invented paper.
