Mon Ami,

The prices have become crazy. I bought most of my good ones more than 10 years ago when they were "relatively" cheap. I paid a lot for the Kurosawa posters but they were gorgeous pieces of art. They were the FIRST things I removed from the house when I left the ex.

Didn't someone pay more than $1,000,000 for the first King Kong?

I'll tell you what I would pay good money for:

Rashomon: Original Japanese signed on the back by Kurosawa
Birth of a Nation

I remember as a kid walking past a beautiful theatre in Toronto that was demolished for condos, and seeing a "Revenge of the Jedi" poster. Lucas changed the name and the rare posters vanished. I saw it in a store once signed on the back by Lucas, David Prowse, and Carrie Fisher - $2,900.
