Not a fucking thing.

But I'm working on it.

The posters I've had in my dorm for the past two years (and will be hanging up in my apartment tomorrow) are a Before Sunset poster and the Japanese poster for Amelie (a guy I went out on a date with saw the poster and said "I know tons of people who have that poster", like, thanks for making me feel like a special snowflake, Guy Who Wants to Get in my Pants)

I never had poster-posters, but my mom found a sweet, old-school canvas movie poster for Sabrina that I hung up on my wall.

It cost too much to get it to NY, though, so now I have my smaller, colorful purses hanging off of nails and Spanish fans I stole from my sister. Plus a bulletin board with pretty French postcards, a napkin-award, and a schedule for the library.

Framed posters from the 2000 and 2001 Seattle Film Festival

Don't feel bad Dustin, I have the framed Say Anything poster as well. I also have one from The Tao of Steve, because people said I looked like Donal Logue in it,just 30 pounds lighter.

Also, back in my single days, to counteract those movie posters, I had a full length framed poster of Drew Barrymore in black and white in boxing attire.

The tour of my place when a lady friend would come over went like the Interjections song from Schoolhouse Rock

....Oh! I love Say Anything...

...Hey! you look like him....

....Um....that's interesting I guess, I think I should be going......

When I moved in with the fiancee, I gave it to a young man who has it in his living room as well. I hope for it to be a perverts heirloom to be passed from lecherous generation to lecherous generation long after we have turned to dust.

Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash framed pictures, and a poster of the Great Northern from Twin Peaks. I live in another time...

I have a giant picture of Thom York with his head in his hands while recording, on my wall. Does that count as anything?

The last poster I had on my wall was when I was in the military (many moons ago) - it was Nil Lara. I was more into music posters than movie.

Never any movie posters. I had Michael Jordan, Barry Sanders, Alyssa Milano and Pearl Jam on my wall as a teen.

Now I have family pictures and a knock-off painting of some dude standing at the base of a lighthouse about to get obliterated by a wave. I would say it really puts things into perspective, but it just tickles me to think how cool that guy thought he was right before that wave killed the shit out of him.

Before you ruin my fantasy:

LALALAIT'SREALIT'SREALLALALALAHE'SDEADHAHALALALA

The last movie poster I remember having on my wall was the Crybaby poster. I was 10. And Johnny Depp's giant head was so beautiful that I wanted to cry from sheer frustration and unrealized longing. There were tons of other posters, since my dad was friends with the guy that owned the neighborhood video rental place, but that's the one I really remember.

These days, I'm supposed to be an adult or something. So I have art and photos and some of it is framed. There are a couple of leftovers from the "early to mid 20s hey let's shop at Pier 1 and Target's World Bazaar" decorations that I'm trying to replace. I'm done with framed, oversize wine labels. So, so done.

I have a lot of concert prints including Nine Inch Nails, Say Anything, Ratatat, Spoon, Guster, etc.

Pulp Fiction poster, couple Threadless posters, few skateboard decks, James O'Barr autographed Crow lithograph, etc.

Lots of stuff all over the place.

In college our living room was devoted to movie posters. Let's see, we had Trainspotting, Wizard of Oz, Vertigo, Fight Club, Natural Born Killers, and Wayne's World, along with a bunch of little knick knacks and what have yous.

Okay, AWESOME story to contribute to this:

So, I was cleaning out my room this past summer. I was digging under my bed, and I found this big, white posterboard thing. I assumed, as I had every time I'd seen it down there for years, that it was this random presentation I made in elementary school for Columbus Day. Feeling nostalgic, I pulled it out and flipped it over. But what I found was so much better than a Columbus Day presentation.

It was a full theater-sized, official poster for the movie Kazaam starring Shaquille O'Neal. I shit you not. Kazaam

It's every bit as beautiful as you'd imagine. Shaq is smiling in his genie pose, his incorporeal body floating out of a magic boombox as the film's young protagonist stares up in awe. The only quote on the poster, from some CBS shill: "FUN!" As if screaming about how fun the movie is actually makes it fun.

Which feeds beautifully into one of the most eloquent taglines in film poster history: "He's a rappin' genie-with-an-attitude, and he's ready for slam-dunk fun!"

"Genie-with-an-attitude." Like it's an archetype we'd all recognize.

I'm taking it with me to my new apartment in the fall. It's going in the living room. I'm thinking of framing it to preserve it for all time. I might even want to be buried with it. Or keep it so I can pass it on in my will to my favorite child.

...Fucking Kazaam!

What else makes you wet Alice ?

Framed black and white prints of "The Kiss," "A Great Day in Harlem" and Louie Armstrong and his wife riding a Vespa in Rome, circa 1953.

And, of course, the heads of my enemies.

Okay, now that I've freaked out sufficiently about that (I mean, how fucking PERFECT is that?!?!), I do have some others.

My aunt bought me a poster for Ron Howard's live-action adaptation of The Grinch, starring Jim Carrey, for Christmas. Needless to say, I don't like my aunt.

My parents bought me a theater-sized poster for Cowboy Bebop: The Movie, which, in my Cowboy Bebop-obsessed state, I loved to death. I still have it, framed, hanging in my room, because it's still a sweet poster, but I'm probably not going to keep it there much longer.

I bought a bunch of posters for myself, most of them bands, but I also got a Hot Fuzz poster (different than the normal theater poster, and it's badass). And I bought a poster for Eternal Sunshine, which is my favorite movie, so that's also awesome.

Now I'm thinking of getting a poster for Moon. I haven't seen the movie yet, but have you seen that poster? I fucking LOVE that poster. Blows my mind.

I don't have any movie posters, just concert posters. I have Wingnut Dishwasher's Union, Defiance, Ohio, and a Sleater-Kinney/Flaming Lips/Wilco one. Not to mention a few beautiful prints I've gotten at zine conventions. Yeah. I'm kind of a hipster.

My roommate put a huge poster of Captain Jack Sparrow in our kitchen and now I have to stare at it whenever I make dinner(despite finding Johnny Depp to be generally appealing, I find him to be revolting in that particular role).

Rubble44, you get 1,000 points for reminding us that Interjections! Show excitement! or emotion!

My senior year of college, I looked at my Cezanne prints and then my roommate's Kermit and Miss Piggy as Caesar and Cleopatra. I realized I was a stuffy old woman, so I went out and bought a poster for Star Wars Ep. IV.

A few years before that my little sister and I decorated our pink walls with Aragorn wielding a sword and Russell Crowe with Gladiator sword. Freud away.

Tracer: So THAT'S where my head went! I was getting worried there.

As a younger man, I had posters for Swingers and...(gulp)...Top Gun.

There was a story behind that Top Gun poster, ok? It was a graduation gift from my best friend, having been humorously stolen from another friend...

...know what? Never mind. I'm probably gay.

Currently, the only pop-culture item that the wife and I (see! a woman!) have on the walls is a small Eisley poster signed by the whole band. We still have to retrieve my old Rush posters to deck out the music room, though.

Oh, and I have a metallic poster of the black knight from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

God, I'm a nerd.

As for band posters, I have: John Lennon, Radiohead (OK Computer and the one where all their eyes are closed), a giant White Stripes poster, Flight of the Conchords, Miles Davis, Arctic Monkeys, The Mars Volta (Frances The Mute, bitches!), Evangelicals, P.O.S. (it's an awesome poster I stole from a sign post), Tapes n Tapes, and TV on the Radio.

I also have a poster for Mike Birbiglia and one of Monty Python's "Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch.

I have lots of wall space.

I have never hung a movie poster on my wall, but when I was 12, John Stamos had a place of honor in my room amongst all of the horses and puppies. Come to think of it, lo hese many years later Mr. Stamos could still hang on my wall.
Next to the BUNK!
I have all original art on the walls of my 1920's house. My folks are collectors and artists, so I got started young. If I ever found a great graphic poster from the 20's/30's I would hang it.

Two homemade Dia De Los Muertos shadowboxes and an altar and a framed cover of the Bob Marley "Roll One" Rolling Stone cover.

Zuzu your name reminds me of the poster that I wish I had on my wall. My friend and I worked at a thrift store in high school and he stole a vintage-looking "It's a Wonderful Life" poster before I could see it. I still want to fight him for it.

Jeez, Christian H.! Is everything you've mentioned hanging on your walls? That's ridiculous. Home Depot carries paint and shit, ya know.

LOL, well, not all the posters are the same size. Many of the band posters are kind of smaller.

I have a picture of Rowles on my wall...with a bullseye centered on his forehead.

I'm a little more than a year out of college, so I've upgraded from thumb-tacked posters to framed posters (thank you, Aaron Brothers employee, who kindly took my coupon and calculated it incorrectly with the in-progress storewide sale to discount nice $60 frames down to $17 for me). In my room: Mulholland Drive, Veronica Mars, and Children of Men. I'd like to swap out of Children for the French My Blueberry Nights poster.

In our living room, we have Factory Girl (no affinity for the movie - neither my roommate nor I have seen it, but my roommate works for The Weinstein Company and it was free and the poster is nice) and Vicky Cristina Barcelona (another Weinstein freebie, but we both really liked the movie). We also have a Los Angeles poster from orkposters.com (super cool and graphic).

Got the blowups in my offcie of the pictures I did of Mt. Rainier from Tacoma and the Mother Love Bone graffiti wall in Seattle. Both showed up in "Singles."

Yeah. It's my era. Sue me.

I have a framed Wizard Of Oz movie poster in the family room.

The rest of the pop culture type stuff in here is oversized shadowboxes full of concert memorabilia such as t-shirts, tickets, guitar picks, tour books and the like.

When I was growing up, my first boyfriend (in middle school) bought me the X-Files movie poster, autographed by Mark Snow, the guy who wrote the score. How nerdy is that? I also had a huge, life-size stand up of Aerosmith on the wall. And on the back of my bedroom door was a life-size cut out of Han Solo in his Storm Trooper disguise. I also wrapped a pink boa around his neck. Why? I don't know.

In my college days, I had a Star Wars poster and two Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas posters. When I got my first apartment, I had three Sin City posters. Now I graduated to more "adult" things on my walls, like black and white photography.

Agente Provocatrice, my name does indeed come from It's a Wonderful Life. I had a poster from the film on my wall as a small child but it disappeared during one of the times my family moved.

Also, I totally forgot the most important thing on my wall... my WWHRD sticker. (as seen here: http://www.usarps.com/uploads/tx_srfeuserregister/wwhrd-black_5603c4479e.gif)

Also... my bedroom at my parents house remains, to this day, a shrine to Legolas from LOTR. There are posters of him all over the walls... and one on the ceiling.

Only had two movie posters on the wall while growing up ... or as an adult, for that matter:

Empire Strikes Back

&

Batman (Michael Keaton w/ the Batmobile)

Back in elementary school, I had, and at this point I truly am glad the 'Net's anonymous, a poster depicting every single Pokémon. Don't judge! I know you would have watched it at that age if it was on instead of Full House or Saved by the Bell.

Now, I have a copy of a Renoir painting called "Two Sisters" on my wall. For some reason, I love the hell out of that painting.

In my TV nook, I have a poster for Hot Fuzz that my cousins got me for Christmas, facing a poster of the Doctor (#10) in the TARDIS that I just had to buy from the Doctor Who magazine at work (British magazines sometimes give you free stuff, which is cool).
Over my dresser is this picture of Chris Carabba from Dashboard Confessional, a thumbnail that I enlarged and printed out. It's pixelated and janky, but I love it. I have a Killers poster of them from the "All These Things (That I Have Done)" video, where they're cowboys, but everytime I put it on the wall, it falls down. Every time.
Finally, by my bed is a print of a rancho woodcut heart, or possibly the rancho woodcut heart. I got it at the Toledo Museum of Art and it's this heart with scribbles around it. *Shrug* I like it, that's all.

"In high school, my entire ceiling was constructed of a collage of movie posters. My parents could have killed me when they took down that sticky tack.
Posted by: Drew Morton at July 29, 2009 9:50 PM"

I got you beat. In high school I covered all of the surfaces in my room except for the windows with tiny glow in the dark stars. And I'm not talking about a starry n ight in the city, I'm talking about the goddamn milky way. I spent hours and hours putting up well over 1200 pinkie nail sized stars.

And it was Bad. Ass. I had a black light and when that thing was on...wow. Fucking brilliant. You could read by the light of them when all the lights were off. It was like something out of tron. Or an acid trip.

My parents still haven't taken them off the walls.

Also, I had a life-sized cardboard cutout of boba fett.

Now? A lithography from Takashi Murakami, concert lobby cards from the filmore West in the late 60's and an original ukiyo-e print of two samurai fighting from 1850.

The only one I can think of is a poster of the muppets I had in my dorm room.

I suck with my apartment, I have consecutive three photos of a San Diego sunset, a photo of the Philly skyline, a picture of my good friend's niece, and a three picture frame of road trip pictures.

I have an old school library poster that is awesome and a print of one of my favorite Magrittes, but I need to get them framed.

Nothing at all. I used to have a lot of comic book stuff, but I got older and didn't feel like having Green Arrow on my wall anymore.

I have been married for 25 years, and still have a poster of W.C. Fields from "Pickwick Papers" and the quote, "I note the derogatory rumors concerning my use of alchoholic stimulants and lavish living. It is the penalty of greatness."

Occasionally, she hints at moving it to a less conspicuous place, but then gives in. I have a good marriage.

A few paintings done by me (in acrylic) back in 1983. Landscapes.

A few paintings acquired over the years that I thought looked good.

Framed poster ("The Earth from Space," always a classic).

Framed poster consisting of a woman's rear surrounded by flowers (captioned "Buns and Roses").

Framed copy of "Izvestiya" for December 20, 1986.

Teddy Roosevelt, over desk

A Terry Redlin Christmas painting (30th B-day)

A Mark Wilkinson (Sugar Mice single 40th B-day)

Iron Maiden, Piece of Mind concert poster, And Justice for All concert poster, Operation Mindcrime concert poster: in basement by my stereo.

Posters: "Gone With the Wind," "Some Like it Hot"
Art prints: "Gilda," "Giant," "Butterfield 8"

ooo jeni, is it the gashlycrumb tinies or just one of his wierdo-monster alphabets?

for xmas last year from the boyfriend, i got two beautiful prints (that aren't really framed as much as they are a part of the frame, i don't know how to explain it...) of the first friday the 13th and the first nightmare on elm street (with the whole 'if nancy doesn't wake up screaming' tagline)

Three watercolor postcards I painted (a giraffe, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man, and an abstract of Mr. TS at the computer), a large collage I made of Mr. TS' face composed of 1" by 2" rectangles cut from National Geographic magazines, an 18" by 24" line drawing of Mr. TS and our old roommate at their computers playing world of Warcraft. A black and white photo of my old Sea Scout ship, my husband's Marine Corps Green Belt martial arts certificate, a Dark Knight calendar, a white board calendar, Chinatown and raccoon postcards, coasters and postcards from Blizzcon, a pirate flag, a million dollar bill with my face in the portrait, a doodle of a bear wearing a bandolier and bandanna and holding a grenade while thinking of a lady in a bikini (said bear representing my husband, I drew it when we were dating).

We are a couple with varied interests.

In case anyone wonders, that's only what adorns the walls in the office.

Used to have lots of movie posters on the wall, including odds and ends such as "My Favorite Year" and "84 Charing Cross Road," but the wife's not to keen on those so, I have my enormous collection stored. One day, perhaps they'll hang again in my office "on the lot." Until then, I can only visit them now and again.

gp - Embarassingly, I seem to be mistaken. Oops. I have an Edward Gorey murder mystery poster. I gave the alphabet one to my mom's best friend for a birthday present one year. I do have the Gashlycrumb Tinies in book form though.

Ugh, I've got so many fucking posters in my bedroom. So many free posters from work and not enough wall space.

I think my crowning jewel though is a Shaun of the Dead poster, original printing from the theater when the movie hit Stateside in 2004. I really should frame that sucker.

Also have Iron Man Official, Batman Begins IMAX printing, Bullit, Sin City (Marv), EuroTrip, V for Vendetta IMAX printing, Mean Girls, Army of Darkness, and the Dark Knight teaser of the Joker writing "Why So Serious?" behind murky glass.

Also have an Anne Hathaway cardboard cutout I stole from a Get Smart Standee last year and a wooden Fonzie that my sister found at a garage sale for $5. Good quality.

Framed original The Godfather poster, italian edition. Dug out of a Cinecitta auction.
http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/ilpadrino4sh.jpg (btw who's the f*cker who took care of the one pictured???)

Family photos and two paintings, one of a giant lime hovering over a Victorian manor like the mothership, the other of a giant orange over a plantation.

In my dorm days I had Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Sin City, Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, Bruce Lee, Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Hendrix, New Jack City, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Vertigo, a poster of Jay and Silent Bob's weed song, Old B&W postcards of famous African Americans, lots of random photos and stickers, and flattened beer boxes.

Now it's just a Super Mario 1-up mushroom, Toshiro Mifune, Bugs Bunny, Thievery Corporation's Versions poster, a copy of Basquiat's "Flash in Naples", an AIGA poster, an old animal crackers box, a wood type specimen poster, and random bits of ephemera over the clusterfuck that is my desk. Surprisingly, nothing panda related... yet.

Currently I have Scarface, Full Metal Jacket, Return of the Jedi, Attack of the 50ft Woman, The Shining, and Animal House hanging on the walls of my room. I have about 14 hanging in my dining room. On another wall I have Dawn of the Dead, Eye of the Beholder, Ravenous,andThe Cell. And on my bathroom door is Office Space.

You are a God.

Only movie poster I ever had up was for the fast and the furious 3, but in my defence my Mum put it up while I was at uni one day and looked sad when I tried to take it down, so it's not my fault. It mysteriously disappeared when I moved recently. Other than that all the posters I have up are Greys smoking pot.

Broken Flowers, Billy Elliot, Run Lola Run, Akira, Elephant, The Singing Detective, Memento, Trainspotting, Fight Club . . . a beautiful poster from LOTR with the Fellowship walking in silhouette, a fucking rad velvet-flocked poster of the kodama from Princess Mononoke, and a signed Billy's Balloon postcard from Don Hertzfeldt. Booyah.

the only movie poster i have on my wall is a small framed black and white print ad of spencer tracy's captains courageous. in college i dated a guy who worked at a small town theater. he ganked a lot of posters for me. i don't know what happened to all of them! i also had the obligatory "i want to believe" poster.

i have a lot of framed prints: michelanelo's the creation of adam, klimt's the kiss, hokusai's the great wave and various black and white photos of NYC.

i also have a bulletin board and this original painting i found at the thrift store.

i can't win this morning! i blame my faulty keyboard! MICHELANGELO. sorry.

- The Magnificent Seven
- Reservoir Dogs - not the Buscemi/Roth one but the iconic group shot
- Metropolis
- Basket Case - very small, very twisted, and very mad - actually in my opinion not a great poster but the film rules over all and I can't take it down
- All About Lily Chou Chou

And finally, my greatest treasure, my crown jewel, my most prized sheet from the great Hollywood book: Super Mario Brothers, in the toilet.

I love posters and wall art so this will take some time. Now they are in storage but I had the following framed and hanging:

Chasing Amy - autographed by Kevin Smith
GI Jane - autographed by Demi Moore, Viggo Mortenson, Ridley Scott, and Ann Bancroft (I won this)
Eternal Sunshine - autographed by Jim Carey, Kate Winslet, Elijah Wood, Michel Gondry, Mark Ruffalo, Kirsten Dunst
True Romance
Coppola's Dracula (the one with the scenes from the movie carved out of stone along all the borders)
Raiders of the Lost Ark

Now I have McFarlane 3D posters/sculptures of Jaws, Alien, Nightmare on Elm Street. Also a small Fight Club poster, and The Dark Knight, and Joker's "Why so Serious?" advance poster. In the bedroom we have a Wicked window card from the Broadway show.

I also have a Van Gogh (not Starry Night, it has a cafe in it but I can't remember the name), and 2 Michael Parkes' prints.

I really need to get the auto'd posters re-framed.

Never had any posters, but just before Star Wars I came out I managed to acquire a promotion piece: a life-size, 3D cardboard model of one of the unfolding ball attack robots. That sat in my foyer for a while, guns pointed at the door.

In the past I have had some hugely embarrassing posters that I shall not mention (yes, okay, I owned a Legolas poster...), but I currently have small framed versions of Hackers and the Italian version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

I've got a Blade Runner: The Final Cut poster on my wall.

I went to the Library of Congress website, and printed up an original Wizard of Oz poster. It graces my office wall.

In my office hangs a Secret Agent Super Dragon poster. I'm sure it does a lot for my reputation as an academian.

In my office hangs a Secret Agent Super Dragon poster.

As Joel would say, Oh WOOOOOOW.

and a couple of nekkid ladies. Which is odd, all things considered...

...wait, what?

Shay, this is why I adore you... you've got layers. Like an onion.

I have had framed versions of the "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "Its a Wonderful Life" posters in my childhood bedroom since middle school. And my freshman year of college I had a big "Say Anything" poster that depicted John Cusack holding the boom box over his head, alongside the lyrics to "In Your Eyes" at the head of my bed, but I think it ripped when I was taking it down.

Now the art in my house consists mostly of blown up photographs of places I've travelled, some local art from those places, a couple of paintings by elephants (elephants like to paint!) and a bunch of crazy old framed prints from family members who have passed away. The most hilarious one is from about 1890, and it shows five scenes from a wedding day, and at the bottom it says "The Greatest Day of a Girl's Life" So funny.

James Dean - Giant poster, only poster I've ever hung.

Nobody's Fool

Paul Newman. In profile. Filling up the entire poster. Sigh. (Even at 70 the man was gorgeous.)

Pre-marriage I had a Spice Girls Poster, a Bjork poster and a Reservoir Dogs Poster. They were the only non-torn ones left from college.

Now all I have is an Old School 8-bit Zelda poster.

Times have changed.

I only have one poster on my wall; a full colour collage poster of the House of Blue Leaves fight in Kill Bill. The only time I've seen it in colour.

Used to have (in my movie nerd past): loads of posters! Just off the top of my head, I can recall having posters for Young Frankenstein, Dances with Wolves, Indiana Jones movies (the first two), Chaplin's The Kid, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Thelma and Louise, and Legends of the Fall (shut up. Brad used to be hot). And quite a few more. I still have em all, rolled up and gathering dust.

Now that I actually have to pay to fix paint damaged by blutack, or for framing stuff, I have only three: Amber Benson's Chance, Ten Inch Hero, and Serenity. All signed to some degree.
I'm still a nerd, I just care more about avoiding redecorating....

28 Days Later and Empire Strikes Back

i had a Terminator 2 poster on my door for a year.

pop culture artifact? does gta san andreas ps2 scratched dvd count?

Not a one for the moment, but as soon as I finish various renovations/screwing around with stuff, I've got six 300DPI PDFs just waiting to be printed: The Dark Knight, Serenity, Hot Fuzz, The Big Lebowski, Big Trouble in Little China and The Rocketeer. I Photoshopped all the titles out, too, because titles are for squares.
