Home theaters have almost become a requisite for Americans building mega-
McMansions, and they're quite common in
the homes of the Hollywood elite. Personally, I just find them excessive. And since going to the theater is one of my favorite pastimes, I'd never give up popcorn and Slurpees in favor of a leather La-Z-Boy, even if ticket prices are well above $10 these days.

OK, I may have had an irrational love for the 1966 Michelangelo Antonioni film
Blow-Up (starring Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Miles, and David Hemmings) since I was in the womb, but I am not alone in my love for the mod Brit film's killer poster. It often tops lists of the world's greatest and most iconic posters (see
here and
here), written by cinephiles and design fiends alike, and for good reason. The original
1966 Italian design is the one most fawned over, but there are actually several variations, almost all featuring a sexy model and her photographer.
