I have never seen a posting concerning the purchase of movie posters. They make a great edition to a home theater, or just as decoration and best of all they are cheap. AllPosters, (http://www.allposters.com/) has been my source for movie posters for years and they have even the most obscure movie posters. Such as Roger Corman's classic, Day The World Ended (1955)

27"X40" poster $21.99

Spend a couple minutes in your local theater lobby. Last week I discovered that my local theater has a somewhat hidden area where they give away posters for all the recent shows. I inquired and found out they've had this for the last 20 years.

You are so lucky, I asked about that at local theaters they looked at me like I was a homeless person asking for a handout. :drunk:
 
I picked up this lobby poster from 1955 at a yard sale. Looks great in my music room.

I've long thought about getting a copy of the "Anatomy of a Murder" poster for my office.

I've got a pretty good collection of them, though - bought a bunch of interesting ones from a movie theater liquidation auction, got the local art house to give me a copy of the "Veronica Mars" poster, won a "Star Trek Into Darkness" teaser poster from a promotion, long ago won a "Goldeneye" teaser poster from another auction (one of my favorites, nothing but the highly magnified barrel of a Walther PPK), etc.
 
After remodeling one large room into my music room, im now about to make a small bedroom into our movie room. The room is tiny so it will be a challenge but i have some ideas. I even have a vertigo poster ready. Im also gonna use some laserdisc covers which are similiar to lp covers as wall art. Results will be posted when room is complete.

This is how my music room looks

They do make movie posters in different size, all of them can be had in 11"X17" versions so you should have no trouble in your small room.

You have one really interesting and rare poster the artist's name is Laurent Durieux. He is considered one the greatest graphic artists alive today. They printed just 475 copies of your "Forbidden Planet" poster
http://www.laurentdurieux.com/

He has a poster for one on my favorite movies I hope I can get the 1936 movie of H.G.Wells "Things To Come" 1936. This poster gives me goose bumps just looking at it, I must have a copy :D

You can usually get these on Evil Bay, if you keep an eye out you can sometimes get lucky and pick one up for close to the original cost. I have the Things to Come also, missed the drop so I had to get it off the Bay, paid a little bit more than the original cost. Absolutely amazing poster, looks better in person than the images on the web. Think his Metropolis (regular) poster is his best work so far.
