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'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.

The first Indiana Jones was released in 1981. Still not 70's but it has stood the time pretty well. Maybe except for some special effects.

The poster for Colossus:Forbin was very disappointing. The title sequence graphics for the movie were great - but the poster doesn’t show a computer at all, although the movie is all about them.

You can just google image search the poster, save the image, upload it to a poster printing website and print it. I've done it 9 times and I've even gotten a 10 x 5 foot poster made of the park city ski map.

    Bay Photo, https://bayphoto.com https://bayphoto.com. Good prices, great service; I use them for my own work, at sizes beyond what I can do in my own shop. Next time they disappoint will be the first.

++ for reference to "Colossus: The Forbin Project" I only discovered that film about a decade ago, and it quickly became a favorite. What’s wild is how it’s shifted from pure sci-fi to something that feels eerily plausible, especially with how tech has evolved in just the last five years. Colossus: In time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love. Dr. Forbin: NEVER! Never ?

Recently discovered this movie. I still can't believe it was done in 1970! The visual props of the huge mainframes, tape drives, blinking lights, etc were real-computing gear from Control Data Corporation (CDC). Probably one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.

I've restored a couple film posters for my apartment. Some (unsolicited) advice: * Do a test print on a small size for the same paper. Color's on the screen will differ to the print (and the print in your room's lighting). * Use upscayl to bring the resolution up. I aim for at least 300 DPI. (Plug: check out some of my amateur restorations https://liampulles.com/ https://liampulles.com/ )
