Gareth Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 I just thought I'd make this thread as a collection of people's favorite movie posters of all time. Anyone can post their favorite posters old or new, and discuss. I'll start with my favorite Star Wars (1977) poster: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackFetch Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Movie posters are hard for me to remember because you only see them at the theater unless they become iconic like Jaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stavros Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 A few of my more obvious favourites. BTW almost all the posters for Brick are fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Best Lion King (1994) poster: J.J. Abram's Super 8 (2011): Huge Iron Giant (1999): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc20willsave Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 A Nightmare on Elm St. (1984): I love this one as much as I do because of the tagline, but also because of the image. It would be easy to just have Freddy on the poster. Instead, Nancy is up front and center with just Freddy's Glove The Lost Boys: A classic. I love the solid red background and the cast in black and white. Once again, the Tagline is great. Would be great without the "It's Fun To Be a Vampire" part. Inception: I'm not a big fan of the "Show the cast standing dramatically" poster. That said, the cast is just barely the thing on display in the poster here. It's intrigueing and helps get across the fact that the we're looking at a dream here. Kill Bill Vol. 2: The Bride in her dress with the sword with that single ray of light, hinting at a scene that, sadly, never got filmed.

JackFetch Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 I just realized everything in the 80s just used the movie poster for the VHS box art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Alien poster: That also has one of my favourite tag lines in films. In Space, no one can hear you scream. Will already hit one of my favourites, in NOES, so here's one that when I saw this in my local cinema, I had to pause and say "Fuck! It's actually happening!" And finally, from one of my other favourite films of all time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Walk the Line: Simple, stylized and sharp. True Grit (2010): Doesn't even need a picture. The Searchers: The bare landscape, the repeated tagline, this is the perfect representation of the film. The Dark Knight: There are about 15 posters from this one that were all brilliant, this (these 3, more accurately) was my favorite: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Labyrinth (1988): Henson + Froud = brilliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
