My own tastes can wander at times, especially when introduced to a new area.
For example, Polish Posters. I know these aren't to everyone's taste,
but they do seem to grow on people.
Personally, I found myself being blown away by often bizarre artwork. I
doubt I would have considered buying them when I first started out in the
hobby but now they are amongst my favourites.

Susan,
I went through almost the exact thing you describe, eventually become very
wide-ranging in the posters I bought. Now over the past 6 months an odd
thing has happened. Lately I find myself focusing on the type of posters
that I first started collecting... mostly science fiction films with a few
monster and horror titles. I'm not sure why this is. It may be something as
prosaic as I've now amassed a large (for me) collection of all kinds of
different types of posters and now want to go back and fill some of the
holes in my sci-fi and monster section. But it seems deeper than that.
Suddenly that area of posters somehow seems more "fun" to me again than most
other styles. Weird, because I've not watched those old sci-fi and monster
movies much in the past couple of decades... focusing mostly on netflixing
newer stuff I wasn't willing to pop first-run prices for at the theaters.
Not that I don't appreciate a really great poster from another genre when
come across one... it's just that recently I haven't felt motivated to buy
any of them.

Subject: [MOPO] Changed tastes
When I first started collecting movie posters, I was pretty much stuck in a
Paradigm (as was my movie Viewing)
only Film Noir and B/W classics.
I wouldn't even look at anything that didn't have Bogie or Mitchum, Bette
Davis or many of the others,
Now I am buying posters for Yog and Schlock, Vampyres, Warhols Blood for
Dracula, Frankenstein, Plan 9 from Outer Space
I have watched movies lately that I had never heard of before, many of the
above but also many many Giallos,
The Horrors of Spider Island, Brides of Blood etc, and I cant seem to get
enough!
Horror Hotel sheesh!
Movies that are so bad theyre good and posters that maybe only cost me 20
bucks
So my question is do you find that after many years of collecting that your
tastes have changed and
gone from a rather rigid position to a more affiable and fun loving place?
