In a film, posters (like any prop) are never just randomly selected
or used "just because."
If a particular poster (or posters) is in the shot, the director has
thought about this choice carefully, and not simply left it to the
art director to just "buy and tack up some posters" to make the set
look pretty.
There will always be a reason or meaning of some kind (whether it is
known to the audience or not. :)

When are they just props and when do they comment on something?
