#1 Post by jimmu » Tue Sep 29, 2015 9:34 pm

Any good tips for shops in London that sell old school (original) film posters? Googling just finds online shops...

Thanks!

There's also one on Marylebone high st ( or might be thayer st at that point but it essentially the same street) just start walking up James st off oxford st towards Marylebone high st and it's a little shop on the left hand side a block or so up from Oxford St.

Edit: found it, called At The Movies on Thayer st

you might want to trawl some student union websites currently, since they are all holding poster sales around this time for students desperately starved of poster material for their walls.

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should have known that the prices will be insane though, £1200 for an original Star Wars return of the Jedi poster :D

I was able to find some really high resolution scanned ones online, would it be ok to print a copy just for myself? Or how does the copyright thing work.. The printer I've used (print24) said I am responsible for the content which makes sense, just not sure hot it works if its just for personal use.
