Our New Look Site
The more eagle-eyed and loyal of our site visitors may have noticed that the website looks a little bit different. The fonts and colours are a little different, but a much more significant change has been made on the gallery page (https://www.cinemapostergallery.co.uk/gallery/). We have added a bunch of filters and you can now run searches for posters related to your favorite director, actor and film franchise.

A Guide to Linen Backing
The words ‘linen-backed’ can be found all over the Cinema Poster Gallery website and in this article, we will do a deep dive into the subject.

Most Coveted Modern Batman Poster?
Batman was first seen in the cinema in 1943 and this film was followed by a Batman and Robin movie in 1946. Adam West's Batman arrived on the big screen in 1966 in a movie that was based on the television series.

Posters for these films are, of course, highly desirable, rare and expensive. In the past 40 years there have been many films beginning with Michael Keaton's 1989 portrayal of Batman in a Tim Burton directed film. [...]
