They have Day of the Triffids and The Omega Man as well - it's a neat collection, I've spent a couple of years not deciding what I want on the walls of my home office but some of those kitsch older sci-fi posters are a strong candidate - I saw a fair few of them as a kid.
I was looking to add a few posters to my room, and this came at the right time.
The only one that interested me was: Colossus: The Forbin Project, as I love Michael Colombier's OST in that. Other than that, it's hard for me as a 23-year-old to find movies I've seen here. The earliest I can think of is Indiana Jones, and The Rocketeer, and those are in the 90s.
I've started watching one film every day 3 years ago. Much less time investment than one would imagine. It all comes down to finding a good system to plan what to watch not just sit down and have an analysis paralysis. Once (after a few months) I’ve figured out my current plan where I _have to_ watch certain films it became incredibly easy to keep up.
The nice thing about films is that they're generally pretty much self-contained. A lot of modern TV series are serialized and committing to a multi-season set of episodes is a big chunk of time.
I'm not sure that art deco is really the right term but there's definitely a 30s/40s poster styleI find quite attractive. You also see it wit a lot of travel/national park/etc. posters from that era.
Different subject matter (space), but if anyone has recommendations, I would love love love the chance to see a poster form childhood.
It was sometime around international space year ish (1992), and was a poster of a hybrid ship, part Space Shuttle and part large sailing ship, a gallon or what not.
I kept it for many years as it fell apart but ultimately got rid of it. I love the motif, the idea of endless exploration. Every now and then I do a little web-searching for it, but no luck. Any suggestions welcome!
On a vaguely related note, two accomplished film poster artists passed away in the past month: Renato Casaro [1] and Drew Struzan [2].

Weird, the date and "National Screen Service Number" on North by Northwest is wrong, it's showing 1949 instead of 1959.

I'm fairly familiar with films and I would say a lot of that is relatively obscure. I've certainly seen some but definitely a minority.
Anyone know of a similar site for mid-century Airline and Train travel posters?
The Library of Congress has a bunch at

and this site got some traction here recently:

This reminds me, so many films, so little time.
I confess, I like the style of a lot of the earlier movie posters.

So now having watched over 1k movies in the past 3 years, what are you favorites?
It’s all a blur. ;)

You might try posting this question on https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/
They specialize in finding and identifying obscure childhood memories like this. Good luck!
