What Are Your Favorite Movie Poster Designs?

[Taibhse]

Since Movie Posters are collectibles.. indeed some of them fetch scary prices on the secondary market.. I thought it would be interesting to have a thread dedicated to people's favorite movie poster art work.. my top three -

Cool Hand Luke 6-sheet. This is huge, approx 81"x81". Great art though.

Italian poster for Harakiri. Great samurai flick.



Vanishing Point, Japanese poster.

I used to deal in original posters years ago and these were 3 (of many) that I always liked a lot.

The Raging Bull poster is excellent, so is the bold, color artwork for that Italian version of the Harakiri poster.. not a film I'm familiar with, will have to do some research.

I like several from Point Blank.

From a time when movie posters had real style.

Agreed, the 60s produced some very stylish posters, that third Point Blanck has a rather Warhol-esque feel to it.


Another Batman poster I rate highly -

You can't go wrong with Struzan. In fact, when I saw this thread I assumed most folks would be posting those. His BTTF and Indy posters are as iconic as they get.

Thanks for reminding me.

Dunno why two of 'm don't show up. Anyway, they were the original Matrix and American Beauty posters. Can't find good versions of them.

Honestly I think Nolan's main Batman Trilogy and Inception posters are about the only post-2000 ones I really find appealing when it comes to movies. That I can think of anyway,

It's a bit like records, on any given day I'd give you three completely different answers. I couldn't pick 3 all time best, there's so many from around the world you could talk about, for some many reasons - but from my own collection, my favourites (tho oddly none of them rare) theatrical posters are -

Alien (2003 Director's Cut release UK Quad, silver mylar with glow in the dark egg cutout)
Superman (1978 US Insert - for me the best presentation of Peak's artwork, as it's full bleed too)
Kill Bill Vol 1 (2002 UK quad)

Non-theatrical fave - Killian's Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Style D) - The Jessica Rabbit "I'm Not Bad, I'm Just Drawn That Way" one. Gorgeous print on mylar.

Oops.. double post so thought I would drop in a classic poster to replace it -

I had a feeling there might be another thread, seemed unlikely it had never been done before.. I was looking in the wrong place because I expected it to be in a 'Collecting' part of the forum.
