Okay guys, now I could really use your experience.

 

I'm writing an essay with the theme "The visual representation in sci-fi movies" for a comprehensive exam in my Uni.

As I do need massive amount of images for this one as illustration, I really could need some help finding the right ones on the net.

My problem is, that it needs to be printed, so I need them in high quality and/or in large size.

 

Yes I try to use google image search all the time, but I though maybe you guys know some good sources.

Not only SW, any other scifi is good. I do want to write about major sci-fi movies though (Solaris, Fahrenheit 451, SW, ST, 2001, 2010, Alien, maybe Stalker, Blade Runner and so on)

I also want to write about specific themes like: costumes, SFX, interiors and exteriors, gadget design...

 

I need a lot of nice pictures! :D

Not entirely sure where to deposit this, but I just stumbled across some very large data bases from the original three movies. The images are vast, and in png format, but thus great to play with..

From page 43 of the "Got Art..." thread. Some large Star Wars captures to start with. Make you discuss LEXX, the most badass superweapon and sci-fi series ever conceived!

^this La_Forge dude, what I stumbled across should suit your requirements completely, nothing's under a meg, and they are .png's.

I could scan some pics of several sci-fi-movies from a book. Would that be helpful for you?

Thanks Jahled that's just what I've benn searching for!

I also could need anything from other movies.

 

Yes, scans could help me out too, if they are in good quality. What do you have? I desperate to find some classic sci-fi pictures (from the 50's, 60's and 70's)

There should be lot´s of pictures of these eras in that book. It´s large. I just hope that I will also know the english title of these movies, but in these cases I will use google.

 

Arises from his chair and walks upstairs to search for the old book in the storage room. He has to caugh because of lots of dust. Than he walks down, plugs in his old scanner and does the best he can

Sweet Jesus, thank you man! You rock!

 

I was suprised that there aren't really any good pictures of great classics like 2001. I know it's old, but why aren't there any pictures? I mean that movie is a hugw step in scifi history.

Yes, indeed. But sometimes it´s better to search for special websites than just for pics. There you often find lots of material. How can I send you these pics? Please send me your email-adress by pm. I will send you the pics than in the next couple of days.

Thank you! A bit small, but still, nice screencaptures here

I've found a great hungarian site with large wallpapers posters and avatars for swr (some posters are really large!)

I can't really use them, but I thought they are great. Check it out! (in english too)

SW origins discussed. I especially like the part with 2001 Space Odyssey. Interesting read.

There's some pics in the IMDB for 2001.

Holy Crap! Did you guys see all the stuff from Dune!?

Unfortunately, I don't really know of any source of high res images for Sci-fi. But I wish you all the best with your work LLF

Good luck, mate!
