It's best NOT to dry-mount movie posters! Once you do this, they have virtually no value whatsoever and the dry-mounting process is usually not permanent (it tends to yellow over time as the adhesive ages). Collectors will generally not buy posters that have been dry-mounted; linen-backing (museum-mounting) is fine, though.
Peter,
You are absolutely correct. However, since I doubt I will ever get rid of any of the ones I have had dry mounted it only matters to me that they look good. Plus I only have one that's worth anything. For some reason it's not dry-mounted...yet. Only thing I will disagree with on is the yellowing. I have a Spider-Man poster that is over 20 years old (not framed). It has not yellowed. The background is still extremely white.
