Source for 11 x 17 or so sized 80's movie poster repros?

It seems to be hit and miss on the quality though. Checked on one movie and some of the posters are huge, over 2k pixels X or Y. One was 2272x3000 But then some look to be nothing more than crap backgrounds. 350x500? Are you serious? I have Windows backgrounds larger than that.
shmokes:
Yeah . . . those ones aren't useful for full-size reproductions. But they're fine for the cover-art in a media center so I'm really glad they include what they can get even if it's not ideal. And like you said, for a lot of movies they have very high res scans -- maybe that's why they charge two credits for everything 2007 or newer. I'd guess that they're much more likely to have high res scans for movies released after the site started collecting movie posters.
SavannahLion:
I'm a little out of touch with reproducing movie posters. What would be the idea resolution to reproduce a poster? Even the most recent don't seem to be much past 2K in either plane. To me that seems.... kind of anemic.
shmokes:
Yeah . . . maybe it's still a bit small. Photoshop says a 27"x40" poster at 200 dpi would be 5400x8000 pixels (4050x6000 at 150 dpi). So I guess I don't know what kind of results you'd get out of those files. But you can usually go at least 200% with Photoshop's built-in algorithms and get really good results. Or even better results with a plug-in like Genuine Fractals.
