Elementary, my dear Watson. They're right here.
Suspense, drama and surprises are just a few of the reasons mysteries capture the imagination. Mystery movies grew out of novels and brought classic characters like Sherlock Holmes and Hercule Poirot to the silver screen. Cinematic techniques combined with great characters and compelling stories transform mysteries from a simple "Who Dunnit?" to classic films. Movie posters are the best way to celebrate the fun of the movies without having to write screenplays or write movie reviews like Roger Ebert.
Many people choose to collect movie posters as a hobby. Movie memorabilia like posters capture popular culture at a certain point in time. Original vintage posters for mystery movies are often much sought-after. If you decide you want to collect your favorite posters, it's best to think about how to protect them. If you want a decoration for your wall, then tacking up poster prints may be fine, but framing can protect your poster's value. Movie poster frames are essentially picture frames on a very large scale. You can judge whether you want a frame for your movie posters. Look at the poster pictures. If they're original, consider protecting them, especially if you have a poster in a style like art deco. Also, you may just want to protect an image of your favorite star from the present or days past, whether it be Sharon Stone in "Basic Instinct" or Humphrey Bogart in "The Maltese Falcon."
 The best part about mystery movie posters is that no matter whether you collect them seriously as a hobby or just casually, they can make a great addition to a room. Try combining several posters from one decade of movie mysteries. Posters from the 40s are often striking and colorful. Close up drawings of sultry leading ladies like Rita Hayworth or Lauren Bacall make a real statement. You can combine posters with action scenes like a Sherlock Holmes picture with a romantic one like "The Big Sleep." Another way to display your collection is by gathering posters from a serial of mysteries in one room. You can pay homage to Charlie Chan with posters from "Charlie Chan at the Wax Museum," "Charlie Chan at Monte Carlo" and "Charlie Chan in London." Or if you just need one poster from "The Da Vinci Code" in your room, that's great too! Mystery movie posters are a great way to bring your favorite characters into your home and experience the thrill of a good mystery story every day. |
