Choosing movie posters is the funnest part of the project. The posters should express the personality and design intent of the people who will use the room most; for someone who likes classical styles, a Transformers movie poster would be inappropriate. Pick the posters that best express your personal style and love of movies.

Decide where and how the movie posters will be displayed. Hanging posters in a funky pattern can add a modern feel to a room, while lining the posters up as they would be in a theater gives it a whimsical twist. Fit the placement of the posters to the layout and function of the room.

Framing and matting the posters can easily be done by one person. Place the poster in line with the matting and put the glass or plastic on top of the poster before putting the frame around them. Most craft stores carry poster frames to fit any size poster.

Hang the posters so that they are displayed to their best advantage and work with the ambiance you want in the room. Hammer nails into the walls in the desired locations and hang the posters on them. An alternative to nails are wall hooks that can simply be glued or stuck to the wall and will still hold the weight of posters.
