Movie Poster of the Week
Spotted this on a website selling movie posters. It's $25.00 US but I'm tempted, it's one of the funniest movies of all time. I suppose I have enough movie posters though. Note that it's been folded, up until the late 80's or so all posters were mailed folded. It is pretty rare to find an older poster not folded. To the point I've seen reprints made of older posters that included the fold lines. With the advent of backlit display cases the posters started being shipped rolled since they looked better.
BTW: Backlit cases are also why most original posters these days are double sided. If only single sided they tend to look washed out when backlit.

That one is indeed a classic, as is the flick itself .. it's a shame that movie posters aren't nearly that clever any more
