Cinema
Poster Archive - When you log into the Archive, you will have access
to larger images. We have almost 61,000 regular images in the archive.
We just started recently adding the Xtra large images and already have
over 8000 larger images online. Once you are logged in, if a larger image
is available, it will automatically show an icon just below the regular
large poster image on that title.
NOTE: As a
special for our Sponsors and Members, if you are doing research or looking
for images on certain titles that are not in our archive yet .... email
me.. and I will load all the images that we have immediately at hand
for you on that title. Please limit your request to 10 titles or under
at a time. Once those are online, then request others.
LAMP Notes: I have just finished laying
the foundation to start adding scans of letters and documents. This
will allow us to attach scans of behind the scenes letters and documents
about individual film titles.
