I have a number of six sheets framed and up on the walls, some are even 45 feet in the air in a center atrium. There really is nothing like a 6-sheet on display - makes you feel like you can walk right into it. I have up: Double Indemnity, Hollywood, Angels With Dirty Faces, Movie Crazy, and Lives of A Bengal Lancer. The only downside to a 6-sheet is the $2500 framing cost per poster. Then, I also have displayed 6 three sheets, 20 1-sheets, 5 inserts, 1 Italian 4 foglio, 1 Italian duo, 2 small French posters, and easily 100 window cards. I still have a fair amount of room left...and I am following my plan of displaying everything in my collection - nothing is in storage.
