Black-and-White old movie posters?

I bought a few black-and-white posters in India last year, with scenes or persons from old movies. They were available in the streets, usually mixed with colourful (rather fat!) posters of babies and Ganesha....

But I would like to have more of them? More variety! Anyone who knows where to find them? Maybe even online? But I only want the ones in black and white, not the colourful movie-posters!

Thanks.

A Google search on "filmposters" will give a lot of results. You might try especially Ciné Qua Non in the Staalstraat in Amsterdam http://www.abmartin.dds.nl/cinequanon.html (unofficial site?) if you're in the area; there used to be a good place (mostly cheap Italian copies though, which is a risk in this field anyway, originals are harder to find) somewhere in Amsterdam's Jordaan area but I can't find the address. There's mention of a place called Silver Screen at Haarlemmerdijk 94 http://www.silverscreen.nl/ , maybe that's where they moved, or just a different place.

There is a woman who has a small shop in Haus Khas village in delhi who has hundreds of old movie posters that her husband collected. Her daughter has a shop in canada apparently doing the same thing (not sure where). Beware though they are not cheap. Probably not much use to you if youre in holland though.
