That's pretty sweet! Never got into collecting movie posters, that sounds like a dark and expensive rabbit hole to go down.riley540 said:

It's... not cheap, but I love it. I actually just picked up the crown jewel to my collection. It's a super rare style c 2001 a space odyssey poster, and I acquired it from this lady, Catherine McCall. Her dad, Robert McCaul did the art work for all 4 2001 posters. The style c was for cinerama theaters only so only a few hundred were printed! There has been a hand full of heavily restored ones that have surfaced at auction, but the one I just bought is completely mint, and hasn't even been folded.RiotZact said:

Catherine told me that her dad went to Europe to have dinner with Stanley Kubrick, and Stanley took him to where the posters were being printed. Kubrick let him take a few home, and now I own one of them. Very very special item for me.

That's an amazing story Riley! Like I said before, 2001 is only my 6th favorite movie but that's mostly because I'm personally drawn to movies with one strong central character, as my top 5 list would indicate (minus Pulp Fiction, which has several extremely strong characters). From an objective standpoint I think it is easily the greatest movie ever made, I don't even want to start because I could ramble on forever about it. For it to be #6 on my list despite not having several of the aspects that I usually like in a movie is astounding, masterpiece is an understatement.
