Yes! So many great ones here. (That last Star Wars one makes me laugh at how sexed up it was) That 'Why So Serious' poster has to be my all time favorite. I also really enjoyed the character posters for Brick. Those were good ones. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, the 'Why So Serious' poster is awesome. I love that they even used it for the Oscar campaign.
DeleteOh I love Black Swan poster, pretty much all the promo posters for this one were outstanding.
ReplyDeleteThose were GORGEOUS!
DeleteSo many priceless one-sheets here, great work! That Pulp Fiction one though... it'll always have a special place in my heart. It literally looks like a piece of, well, pulp fiction.
ReplyDeleteThanks man! Yeah, the Pulp Fiction one is brilliant.
DeleteOooh, lots of great ones here Josh. The Exorcist one is so darn eerie, whilst Schindler's List is moving even before we even see the film! I think the simple ones like American Beauty is iconic, it seems that the trend is classic Hollywood posters are to jam as many things it can fit on a page, ahah.
ReplyDeleteThose posters are very effective, but all for different reasons and in different genres. Love that you singled those out!
DeleteGreat stuff! Liked your inclusion of Eyes Wide Shut. Such a strange movie as is, but the poster makes you wonder about it so much more.
ReplyDeleteThanks! That poster is really intriguing, yet it doesn't give anything away. It works like a charm.
DeleteGreat list, Josh. I'm partial to the poster the studio abandoned for The Thing (1982). The one the famed Drew Struzan did is great, but I loved the more bleak icescape design
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michael. That's a great poster as well. I love the simplicity of the design.
DeleteGreat post, Josh! I'm a movie poster maniac, and you reminded me that I need to buy Chinatown's poster for my collection!! This guy I went on a *single* date with was convinced I looked like Jane Fonda from the '60s, and he sent me this poster of her from Barefoot in the Park (which I've never seen), but gotta love a free poster...and it's great! http://bit.ly/1oGBcuM
ReplyDeleteThanks! Haha, nice poster. I like the film, too.
DeleteWhere WAS I last week? How did I miss this? Great list man! Now I want to put one up. UGH...this is hard, but you have a great list here.
ReplyDeleteThat Dark Knight poster is just epic.
Haha, thanks man! You should totally do one!
DeleteI love that Dark Knight poster. What the Oscar campaigners did with it was ingenious.
