A Personal Story
My name is Adam, and Art of the Movies began with a lifelong love of film.
Like many collectors, I started out buying movie posters because I loved the films themselves and remember the movie posters of my youth - the artwork, the typography, the promise of adventure pinned to a cinema wall. Over time, that passion turned into a deeper appreciation of original film posters as cultural artefacts: objects designed to capture a moment in cinema history.
What started as a personal collection eventually grew into Art of the Movies, and our small and passionate team now shares rare, beautiful and historically significant posters with fellow film lovers all over the world.

What Makes an Original Movie Poster Special?
Original cinema posters were produced specifically for theatrical display - not for home décor. They were printed in limited numbers, distributed to cinemas and often discarded once a film’s run ended.
That’s what makes them special.
From UK quads and US one sheets to international designs, each format tells a story about how a film was marketed, perceived and celebrated at the time of release. Small details - printing methods, fold lines, studio marks - all contribute to a poster’s authenticity and value.
Our Authenticity Guarantee
Every item sold by Art of the Movies is guaranteed original.
We carefully inspect, research and describe each poster, including:
-
Age and release period
-
Country and format
-
Condition and any restoration undertaken
-
Historical context where relevant
We only sell posters we would be happy to own ourselves - and we’re always happy to answer questions before you buy.

How We Source Our Posters
Our posters are sourced individually from trusted collectors, archives and industry contacts around the world. We do not bulk-buy reproductions or generic prints.
This careful sourcing means:
-
Each piece is unique
-
Stock changes regularly
-
Some posters may not be available again
If something catches your eye, it’s worth acting - original posters are, by their very nature, finite.
More Than Decoration
Many of our customers tell us the same thing after their first purchase: “It’s even better in person.”
An original poster isn’t just wall art - it’s a conversation piece, a memory, a connection to the films that shaped us. Whether it’s a Bond classic, a Star Wars favourite or a cult gem, the right poster has a way of finding its owner.

We’re Here to Help
Choosing an original movie poster can feel daunting, especially if you’re new to collecting. If you’re unsure about size, framing, condition or value, just get in touch - we genuinely enjoy helping people make the right choice.
