Amazing. I'd no idea these things were so valuable. a friend of mine has a copy of 'The Twelve Angry Men' poster hanging on her wall. I wonder if that's worth anything?

They sure are, I guess it's like everything from Elvis memorabilia to diamonds though, if it's rare people are going to want to own it. If your friends poster is an original it probably is, if it's a copy probably not. If it is an original you could always buy yourself a cheap copy on eBay and try the old switcharoo. :)
