I was looking to add a few posters to my room, and this came at the right time. The only one that interested me was: Colossus: The Forbin Project, as I love Michael Colombier's OST in that. Other than that, it's hard for me as a 23-year-old to find movies I've seen here. The earliest I can think of is Indiana Jones, and The Rocketeer, and those are in the 90s.

I've restored a couple film posters for my apartment. Some (unsolicited) advice:

* Do a test print on a small size for the same paper. Color's on the screen will differ to the print (and the print in your room's lighting).

* Use upscayl to bring the resolution up. I aim for at least 300 DPI.

++ for reference to "Colossus: The Forbin Project"

I only discovered that film about a decade ago, and it quickly became a favorite.

What’s wild is how it’s shifted from pure sci-fi to something that feels eerily plausible, especially with how tech has evolved in just the last five years.

Colossus: In time you will come to regard me not only with respect and awe, but with love. Dr. Forbin: NEVER!

Never ?

You can just google image search the poster, save the image, upload it to a poster printing website and print it.

I've done it 9 times and I've even gotten a 10 x 5 foot poster made of the park city ski map.

Recommendation on a solid online printing shop?

Recently discovered this movie. I still can't believe it was done in 1970! The visual props of the huge mainframes, tape drives, blinking lights, etc were real-computing gear from Control Data Corporation (CDC). Probably one of the greatest sci-fi movies of all time.

I'm fairly familiar with films and I would say a lot of that is relatively obscure. I've certainly seen some but definitely a minority.

The first Indiana Jones was released in 1981. Still not 70's but it has stood the time pretty well. Maybe except for some special effects.
