As a kid I used to haunt my local video store scrounging for movie posters. I had this one in my wall for years before I ever actually saw the movie. Pretty sure I'm not the only one. What movie posters did you have and love as a kid.

Years later, however, as a young man on my own, my best friend got me the poster for The Secret Of NIMH, knowing how much I enjoyed the film and that I was also a fan of the Hildebrandt Brothers who had painted the poster. He also went to the trouble of getting it mounted on a foam backboard.
It was so cool, but the multiple Falcons bugged the crap out of me.
@random73 yep - I owned those and dozens more.
As a kid I've spent many summers in Italy where I knew a family that owned a cinema. I love the Spaghetti Westerns and Italian films in general. They gave us Leone, Argento, Bava, Fulci, Castellari, Lenzi an many more. Living in the middle of Europe has it's advantages. To me American movies have been the exotic fair...
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
and this one.
I got the Gone With the Wind one, because an uncle of mine had one. Every time I'd visit his place, I'd think to myself, I want that poser. So eventually (i.e. sometime in early teen years) I bought one. As for the Star Wars poster, it really doesn't need an explanation.
Later in life, I would create parodies of both these posters for by tumblr. blog.
Aliens
Captain America (1990 Teaser poster)
Highlander
The Sicilian
The Terminator
They Live
Loved that movie as a kid...I need to see it again..Piper's acting wasn't that bad either.
I have no idea why my mother let me have this on my wall as a 10 year old...
