Movie posters use to be a thing with actual pieces of art. Studios hired proper illustrators, painters, and typographers to boil an entire two-hour film down into a single poster image.
If you miss that era (or just want free art for your walls), a newly digitized archive just dropped over 5,000 classic movie posters online to browse and download in high-res.
Where did these come from?
The archive comes courtesy of the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas at Austin.
Fun Fact: Much of the collection originated with the historic Interstate Theater Circuit, a chain that once operated nearly every movie house across Texas. You can search through old movie posters, if your really interested in pulpcore aesthetics, graphic design history, and ideas around remix culture. Here is one I made earlier today.
Did not ask for permission, just published this great poster you made. I'll the proceeds to this post in case of any sale.
Lol appreciate the hustle and the love for the poster š but definitely ask me first before turning something chatgpt made then I posted into merch.
Iām not giving permission to sell this one, even if the sats are coming back to me. Please pull the listing for now and we can always talk about me doing something original and properly later.
Fair point, should've asked first. Pulling it down now. Happy to put it back online again anytime if you're up. The re-title is clever Bitcoin branding and would be a great contribution to the community collection.

FYI... might want to be careful about reuse. Just noticed this under one of them after a quick look:

I wouldn't overthink it, no one is making money from these it basically falls in line with.
Original poster = public domain source material
Bitcoin version = a new derivative/remixed work containing your own creative additions
You can also look at Houdini tricks and do them in real life too.
These should give creative stackers good ground material to continue creating SN-themed posters.
