I have been collected most of these posters as I've found them.  Here's
a list of posters in order of image quality and/or depth.  The order is
best to worst, in my opinion:

"Lost World" - (great depth, excellent image quality!!! must be
back-lit)

"Meteor Man" - (excellent quality!!! great depth. This is a
barrier-strip poster, must be rear lit.  Note: IMO, Meteor Man is much
better quality than Lost World, though many people are unfamiliar with
this movie.)

"Species 2" - changes from 3 images, 3D, only a few inches of depth

"The Frightners"- 3D, and motion - the white background seems to make
the little 3D lose it's effect

"Shadowbuilder" - 2 image flip, no 3D

"The Santa Clause" -  only the "snow globe" is lenticular, not very
spectacular.

**  Nightmare Before Christmas - I have not seen this image, so I can
not comment on it's quality.  Very hard to find!!!

*    Godzilla -  I heard there was a lenticular poster for this film.  I
have not been able to verify that.

Any lenticular movie posters I may have missed??

Tom.
