I would like to know where (specific website or company) I can
purchase a picture for my wall similar to the one in the movie "Van
Wilder" in the background of his dorm room with the big palm tree
scene that has several peices in frames making up the whole wall.

Greetings, germangurken!

Last year we installed something similar in our guest bedroom, so I
think I know exactly what you are seeking.

The mural we purchased was from a company called Komar Products GmbH.
You can see their tropical mural selections here:

I found this by going to their website at
http://www.komar.de
clicking on "English", then placing my mouse over the word
"Photomurals" in the small menu along the bottom of the screen, and
clicking "Beaches":
http://www.komar.de/htdocs/eng/index_e.html

The WallpaperInstaller.com website has a page of links to companies
producing similar products:

We purchased our mural through Lowe's and got a substantial discount

both Lowe's and Home Depot stores' wallcoverings departments carry

thank you so much for your answer.  I did have one clairfication. 
These sites don't specify if they frame them just like the one in the
movie.  With the whole wall mural made up of all the frames.  Is that
what they do or do they just send you the whole thing?  If you can't
answer that because its not part of the original question I
understand.  Thanks

Were the parts of the mural framed liked pictures,

or like panes of glass in a window?
