Obviously I can have some shipped from the United States but are there any places in Korea where they sell them? I want to decorate my apartment.

Movie posters? Are you a freshman in college?

Don't forget the blacklight and the trippy Grateful Dead poster. That will look bad ass after you get back from the Hot Legs contest at Kappa Delta Sigma.

Actually I just remembered some undergrads are coming to Korea this summer to teach. If that is the case, I apologize for the snarkiness, OF COURSE you can use posters to decorate your room. I recommend Pulp Fiction, Jimmy Hendrix, or Grateful Dead. Those are the acceptable pre-approved ways to show what an unique individual you are.

in Songtan there seemed to be several picture shops that had tons of posters, movies and otherwise, but they had no real display system and the lady didn't seem too terribly helpful about letting me riffle through them to find what I wanted.

Ouch. Ultra that is some high quality smack talk there. I am quite chastised now that I have been called out for having an "avatar with dimensions exceeding the avatar regulations."

i also wanted to get rid of the really empty, white-walled look, so i ended up going to a music store and getting some band posters for free (asked the guy at the front and he just gave them to me). i didn't find any movie posters, but i'm quite sure you'd find them in seoul.

It's okay for you nerds to talk about computer programming, games, whine about your "terrible conditions in Korea" but asking about a movie poster, crosses the line.

I haven't found a decent place in Korea yet but http://www.allposters.com/ worked out alright.

If you've got a half decent printer, or have access to one, then this site might be useful to help brighten up your apt. Have a look at the gallery page to see what kind of thing is achievable.

If the movie poster thing doesn't work out, think about buying some calendars (they should be at a discount now) and take the staples out. There are a lot of decent pictures that would do OK for a year.

Man I used to remember the poster/apinting/picture stores in the Underground arcade of Daegu. Tonnes of old Movie posters and that from Shawshank Redemption, to Blue to Titanic. All gone now been replaced to lingerie stories and shoes stores. You can try in the market areas of Korea and see if you can find places that still print pictures (large size).

Good luck
