I built a picture frame that shows my friend group's Letterboxd reviews the moment they post them. My family is obsessed with it.

So this started because my friends are genuinely funny on Letterboxd and it felt wrong that their reviews just scroll away into nothing.

Now there's a frame in our kitchen that shows one review at a time, big, like it's art. The poster on the left, their stars and their little writeup on the right. It looks like a printed page in a frame, not a screen. There's NO glow, so it's perfect for movie nights. Guests do not clock it as a screen until it changes in front of them, which has this really cool ink dithering effect.

It rotates all day on its own. Someone logs a movie at the theater and their review is on our wall before they're home. My friend gave Spider-man 2 a four and a half stars with the review "god bless Spider-man 2" and that hung in our kitchen like a museum piece for two hours. That's the whole product honestly.

I had some fun building this and coded in some additional features. Chiefly: it remembers. A year to the day after you watched something, that old review comes back around. We've had dinner arguments start because the wall decided to bring up somebody's 2025 take on a movie they now claim they always loved. It keeps receipts.

It does other stuff too.

  • My friends and I all rank our 2026 release watches. So now, you can put a whole ranked list up when you're feeling brave for other's to judge.
  • There's a movie night mode, where you can display a selected movie or randomly choose one from your friend group's watch list, along with everyone's ratings (of those who have seen it).
  • You can ask Alexa to change it when you don't like the review that's up, which was supposed to be a joke feature and is now the most used one.

"Alexa, ask matinee to cycle"

"Alexa, ask matinee what's now showing"

  • And there's a page in the little app that shows every review the wall has ever displayed, which has become a nice little history book.
  • I'm still dreaming up more features!

I live in California now but am from Michigan, and this has been a fantastic way to stay engaged with my friend group back home.

How I built it is in the comments for anyone who wants that.

Real question though: a couple friends keep saying they want one and I can't tell if they're being polite.

Would you actually hang one of these in your place?

Looking for info about a poster

Hello,

I've managed to snag this beautiful poster on a flea market in Europe. I love the beautiful ofset print, color, micrographics, typography, everything.

One thing I am curious about is it's history.

Google lens/AI didn't really got me an answer so I am trying my luck here.

Does anyone know to which movie/show it is related to? Can you point me in the right direction?

Got David’s autograph on my Terrifier 3 poster

Met him and a few others at GalaxyCon. Really like how it looks with just his name, but I’ll probably add some others when I can

My mate and I run a movie club in country Australia. Maybe you’ll dig our posters. Or not! But it was fun to make ‘em!

Can anyone identify the three posters outside this small-town theatre? Likely early 1980s

I’m trying to identify the three movie posters displayed outside the Heather Theatre in this photo.

The cars and overall look suggest the image may date from the late 1970s or early 1980s, but I have not been able to make out the titles.

Any help identifying the films would be appreciated!

Found these super neat Star Wars Ep 1 Posters!

Hey fellas!! This is my first post on the subreddit! I found these pair of posters from EP 1 if you can call them that at the thrift store. They are a really weird material. Kind of feels like hard plastic but super heavy. I just want to know if anybody has any information on them because I can’t find them anywhere! I really like them and kind of freaked out when I saw them just sitting there. One of the workers told me they just put them out not even 10 min before I picked them up! Just thought I would ask to see if they are rare in any type of way! Plan on hanging them on my wall pretty soon, will continue with a new post when I do that! :)

It has to be a homage. Right?

I saw the poster for the recent J. Stathan action vehicle and thought: where have I seen you before?🤔

Does anyone know what the original poster for Nosferatu 1922 is?

I've tried looking for a poster copy that resembles the original artwork for a 24x36 Nosferatu poster. Now, im sure that there arent any in that particular size as most posters of that age were slimmer (ie. Metropolis), but ive seen that they do reshape posters to be that size (i have a Metropolis poster with black exterior added to each side to meet the desired size.

Anyways, I cant seem to find anything about the original poster and what it even looked like ,except for the magazine ad that is wider than it is tall.

Can anyone help or even provide alternatives?

Is this an original?

If so, recommendations on getting it restored? We want to take good care of it 🥲
Edit: I just commented this but I wanted to say that we will def at least frame it. It was just in a random closet at my fiancé’s mom’s house, and he loves jaws so we were like ok cool let’s hang it up. Had it for years and then randomly I’m like I wonder if it’s an original?? Kind of embarrassing that we put push pins in it 😭😭

Lost Boys!

I can’t remember when I got this but I was touring with a band and paid 10 bucks for it from a kid In the crowd.

I'm shocked at the low price those two Sheik posters reached at emovieposter just now

I've cut out everything but the numbers and history (although what Bruce wrote was fascinating and the email he sent out with further detail was a great read). They just sold for $20,500 and I don't see how that's even possible.

"BOTH the style A one-sheet AND the style B one-sheet, both with full art by master illustrator Henry Clive. They originated from the collection of Charles Dyas, who was one of the very first movie poster collectors. He ran movie theaters starting in the late 1910s, and he kept posters that he especially liked, and he never sold his collection! He passed away in the late 1980s and in 1990 the best of his collection was sold at Christie's East. These two posters were sold together, and sold for $18,150. The buyer reconsigned them to Christie's in 1997, and they sold for $29,900. The person who bought them passed away and now these posters are being re-offered again for the third time, but they are the very same pair of posters that auctioned the other two times. When adjusted for inflation, the prior sales are around $45,000 and $62,000 today."

I know you need two bidders to drive the price up and that obviously didn't happen here, but they sold for 2/3 of what they sold for 30 years ago! They're nearly 40% older than they were last time they sold.

Help me understand this. It's not like '20s stuff was all the rage in 1997 and now it's not trendy. I watched a one-sheet for the '26 sequel sell for $33,000 in 2024. A horizontal one-sheet (extremely unusual but in poor condition) sold for £19,335 in 2023. These two that just sold haven't lost any of their condition. $10,000 each: sold. Were there no collectors or investors watching who saw they were going for a song and thought it would be stupid not to bid at that price?

Congratulations to Ha on getting the most insane bargain I've seen. It's way above my price range but you'd have to get to $40,000 at least before you put any serious thought into how far you're going to bid. You'd bid $20,000 just to weed out the non-serious folk.

Sorry for the ramble/rant - I watch these closing bids on exciting items like they're my sports teams, refreshing three windows on two screens like I've got money on them myself.
