I like the smaller posters, they're cheaper to frame & great if you don't have much wall space. Belgium & French ones are good, small but very colourful, I have a few from the far off days when I used to go to film fairs. Sitting in my little lounge I can see: Helen Of Troy (Helene de Troie), The Curse Of The Werewolf (La Nuit Du Loup-Garou), The Pit & The Pendulum (La Chambre Des Supplices), Fort Apache, The Raven, Jason & The Argonauts, Land Of The Pharaohs, King Kong '76 & Duck You Sucker. I have a sort of third size (is that a halfsheet?) US poster of Atlantis & In Like Flint (that one looks so cool) & a full size UK poster of, Journey To The Centre Of The Earth. All originals, I don't know what they go for these days, I paid £80 for Journey & £60 for Flint, the others weren't too expensive at all (about 18 years ago).

Okay, so there's this new documentary coming out called 24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters. My question is, what movie poster fan worth his salt would consider 24x36 an official size for a movie poster??? Indeed. Tsk, tsk.

Okay, so there's this new documentary coming out called 24X36: A Movie About Movie Posters. My question is, what movie poster fan worth his salt would consider 24x36 an official size for a movie poster??? One sheets are 27x41 (reprints 27x40); half sheets 22x28; inserts 14x36; etc. The only place you get 24x36 is at STAPLES!! Here's the teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR-WPcRrVR4 I'd be more than happy to answer that. I directed it. The film focuses specifically on illustration in movie poster art, its history, its disappearance from key art, and its resurgence thanks to screenprint companies and galleries like Mondo. We explain various different types of posters and dimensions in the film, but seeing as the studios who are creating standard one-sheets (27x41 and 27x40) have all but abandoned illustration in key art, they, quite frankly, didn't earned the title - the screenprinters and artists working to keep illustration alive did, and their highly collectible, officially licensed posters are 24x36. Hope this answers your question, and I hope you enjoy the film.
