Art has been used by humans to express their emotions, their culture and their experiences visually since the beginning of time. Early art forms were primitive and involved manipulating organic compounds to create patters. As the plastic arts developed, humans became more adapt at infusing their art work with meaning.
Movie posters are a modern day art form. These works of art not only express the stylistic interpretation of a culture, but they also create an interpretation of the main theme of the movie. This makes movie posters very complex works of art that can be studied and analyzed.
While movie posters have complexity and artistic value, they are also very interesting to look at. The value of a movie poster is based more on the appeal to the collector then to their underlying artistic value. This means that if I absolutely love the horror genre of movie, then horror movie posters are going to be more valuable to me than classic movie posters. When collecting movie posters to earn a profit, it is important to keep in mind what genres are the most popular with collectors.
When collecting movie posters I like to select pieces that appeal to me emotionally. Generally an emotional appeal is created by selecting movie posters from movies that have a special meaning to me. For example, movie posters based on the first movie I remember seeing or movie posters based on the movie that I saw on my first date, both trigger emotional responses that make them appealing to me as a collector.
