The Movie Poster Collection at the Harry Ransom Center (University of Texas at Austin) spans the entire history of film: from the silent era to the present day. They're in the process of photographing, scanning and digitizing their entire 10,000 poster collection. Over 1,000 can now be viewed online, searched through and downloaded in high resolution for free. (Via)

Search for 'Firestorm' and nothing. Howie Long weeps quietly.

That’s certainly an...eclectic...collection. Sadly, nothing prior to 1960 seems to have been scanned as yet.

Bonhams just auctioned off the collection of Robert Osbourne, the TCM host. It's a fascinating look at movie memorabilia. This poster of Gilda is so stunning and fetched a high price. I wish it were in this collection so I could download a high res version.
