I have an original DS Goodfellas poster, so they definitely started doing it by 1990. On the Spiderman's, I am pretty sure if it is lighter on the back, it is original.Unfortunately there are double-sided reprints out there - especially of the twin towers Spider-man. I got mine before it was recalled, so I'm pretty certain it's original. Most double-sided reprints are pretty easy to tell - usually the mirror image side is the same brightness as the front. On a real double sided, the back side isn't as bright (usually).
The first double sided poster wasn't created until the 90s I believe.
For SW it's a crap shoot since repros are extremely common (no double sided originals there). My rolled SW is actually from the video release of the film. But the only difference between it and a theatrical release is that it has a Lucasfilm copyright under the image and the theatrical had a Fox copyright. Both have a Fox copyright at the very bottom.
I also like to collect unusual ones like lenticulars or mylars (I have a Superman '78 on mylar).

Nope, double sided posters have existed since the 50's. They weren't common because the cost was so high, but they were there. They didn't start slipping in more often til the 80's, and by the mid-90's they were pretty much the standard. It seems to me that 1985 was sort of the turning year, where they went from mostly folded single sided to more rolled double sided, although we really didn't see double sided go nuts til the mid-90's. I also think it was around 85 that the size shifted from 27x41 down to 27x40.
For lighted boxes, I think River City does a great job for the price:

Didn't know it was available, but I just scrounged around my DVDs and found 550 points! SCORE!
Thanks for the heads up!
I seem to remember we've had this discussion before - but the doublesided from the 50s to the 80s were few and far between and were more specialty product rather than the norm. I was working in a movie theater 85-94 and we never got double-sided posters in until the early 90s.
As for Hollywood Book & Poster - I used to buy from them a lot. Pretty sure they're all original - they run out fast of popular titles and some (like WB) they hardly get any in at all.
