If you are looking for a nice decoration for your home theater room, vintage movie posters are highly recommended as they add movie magic to the room. An advanced home theater system with decorative posters from classic movies is a beautiful combination. You can find many movie posters that were actually used as promotional posters for classic movies. Some online souvenir shops even sell them with the signatures of older generation actors, which makes the price really high. These classic movie posters with signatures are considered expensive collector’s items. In my experience, I found an old poster of James Dean with his signature on it! My grandmother has been saving it for years. I asked a knowledgeable collector about this item and he confirmed that this memorabilia piece would fetch thousands of dollars if sold.

Take care of your posters as the best ones you can find in memorabilia stores are very limited and some are original promotional gifts and not just reprints. But if you can’t afford to buy a classic movie poster, you can print some old movie images at your local print shop. The next step is to take care of your film treasures. Don’t just use double-sided tape. It would be better if you frame and mount it. You can also have a local carpenter make a light box for your poster that will create this elegant effect and cinematic feel when the main lights are out.

Framing your posters will protect them from dust and daily wear and tear. You can customize the light boxes of your posters. Some DIY stores have easy-to-install step-by-step light boxes. Light boxes are used to illuminate the sign from behind, giving it a more cinematic appeal. You can also use a small spot light for each framed poster you have mounted on the wall. You can check some standard sizes of the various movie posters on the internet.
