What Themed Movie Poster Collections Are Featured on The Poster Collector?

Updated

The Poster Collector features two named themed collections—James Bond and Star Wars—alongside a broader gallery organised by country and poster type. If you want to browse a specific franchise, the James Bond and Star Wars collections are the only franchise-specific sections listed; everything else is grouped by nationality (UK, US, International) or by format (Lobby Cards).

Themed Franchise Collections

The site's Gallery section lists two dedicated franchise collections:

  • James Bond Collection — the site also carries related editorial content, including "Things You Didn't Know About James Bond" and "Alternative James Bond Posters by Mike Mahle," suggesting Bond is a long-running focus rather than a one-off gallery.
  • Star Wars Collection — a separate themed gallery for Star Wars material.

These sit alongside the country-based galleries rather than replacing them, so a single poster can appear in a franchise collection and still belong to a national category such as UK Quad.

Country and Region Galleries

The larger part of the collection is organised geographically:

Region group Sub-sections listed
UK UK Quad, UK One Sheet, Other UK Posters
US US One Sheet, Other US Posters
International Australian, French, German, Japanese movie posters

This structure matters if you collect by printing origin rather than by film. A UK Quad and a US One Sheet for the same title are different physical objects with different dimensions and artwork, so browsing by country is the practical route when format is your main criterion.

Poster Types and Formats

Beyond one sheets and quads, the site separates out:

  • Lobby Cards — its own top-level section, distinct from the country galleries.
  • UK Quad — the dominant format in the "What's New" feed, with entries such as Batman Begins (2005, teaser), The Dark Knight Rises (2012, Final, Style B and Style C), and Robocop (1987).

The repeated Dark Knight Rises entries show how the site documents multiple print styles of a single release—teaser, Style B, Style C, Final—rather than treating a film as one poster.

New Additions and the Archive

Two further sections frame the collections over time:

  • What's New — the most recent acquisitions, each with a date, a read-time estimate, and a short description.
  • Archive — the historical collection entries.

Individual entries carry a publication date and a later updated date (for example, 16th February 2018, updated 25th July 2020), so you can tell when a poster was added versus when its page was revised.

Reference Material Alongside the Collections

If your interest is in identifying or valuing what you see in the galleries, the site pairs the collections with:

  • Articles — including "History of Movie Posters," "Collecting Movie Posters," "Different Types and Styles of Movie Posters," "Common Movie Poster Sizes," "Famous Movie Poster Artists," and "What Is My Movie Poster Worth."
  • Guides — covering shipping rolled and folded posters, framing, restoration, preservation, and authentication, plus a collector's guide to movie poster books.
  • A movie poster knowledge quiz — a short self-test on the subject.

How to Use This Structure

  • Collecting one franchise: start with the James Bond or Star Wars collection, then cross-check the country galleries for the specific printing you want.
  • Collecting one format: go straight to UK Quad, UK One Sheet, or US One Sheet rather than browsing by film.
  • Researching a poster you own: use the Articles and Guides sections for size, artist, authentication, and value context before comparing against gallery entries.
  • Tracking the site: the What's New feed is the fastest way to see recent additions; the Archive holds older entries.
