interesting question
in the case mentioned, comedy usually does better than drama,
especially intellectual drama

I ask this for several reasons. Obviously demand and supply create
the value. But why do we all demand certain posters?
Is it the artwork? The movie? The Artist? Or is It simply because
other people have deemed the poster valuable?
Example:
Why is the movie poster Harvey worth more then 12 Angry Men?
Both posters have somewhat poor artwork (yellow). Both have great
actors. Harvey is a good movie while Angry Men is arguably one of
the best. Both are hard to find and rarely come up. But Harvey goes
for 5-10 times more then Angry Men.
There are many examples of this so what is the reason? I truly
believe that we are somewhat sheep in our hunt for posters. We
follow the herd and bid up posters that have been deemed valuable.
I've heard the old stories of certain collectors who made movie
poster books. They would use posters that they owned a large
quantity of to drive up the demand so they could sell for more (Taxi
Driver was an example o heard of). Not sure if this is true or just a myth.
Any thoughts?
