they make little ...clips?  I'm not sure that's the right word for it, but it's basicly a long clip with a string run through it.  you insert the poster into the clip and hang the whole thing from the string.  I think there's also another clip at the bottom to weigh it down.

only $3 or $4 if I remember correctly.

hope that helps.

Poster frames are less than $10 at wal mart & they have several sizes. They're pretty junky frames, but they look a lot better than tacking them to the wall.

Linens 'n Things had a giant poster sized frame with a insert that had different sized circles and squares cut out of it so you could display various pictures in it.  I took the insert out and put a movie poster in it.

It's a shinny black metal frame.  The movie poster I have is larger than any frame Wal-Mart had, so this was the best I could do without paying for a custom frame. It was just under 30 bucks, I think.
