The 100 Greatest Movie Posters of all Time...

mangajunky · 06.19.2008, 09:32 AM

...According to TC Candler.

My first pet peeve is they start with #1.
My second is that they're missing the points of some of the posters as fas as pop culture references and the like.
My Third is that I prefer some other posters for some of these films to the ones listed.

I would have rated Lost in Translation the lamest poster ever.

I think a great film poster is one that promotes the film, but also stands alone as a piece of art in its own right.

The ones for A Clockwork Orange and 42nd Street manage this but 90% of the ones on that list are just, well, nice I suppose.

i am also a bit surprised by some choices, but there are some great ones.

polish film posters are great:

The Birds:

Jaws:

Hiroshima, mon amour:

Red Beard:

ok, 4 more, and then i stop... for a while...

some of them are actually a bit disconnected with the atmosphere of the films in question...

while many of the ones you guys posted are very beautiful and interesting indeed, movie posters is something i would never bother worrying about.

Cantankerous · 06.20.2008, 08:44 AM

o o o rules

o o o · 06.20.2008, 09:15 AM

ok, then, a few more:

o o o · 06.20.2008, 09:20 AM

at this point, i should mention that all those images come from this site: http://www.cinemaposter.com/

Near the place where i work, there is a shop that has a big collection of this type of polish posters.

There are certainly some very good ones on that first list, not sure about all of them but hell who am I?

o o o those are pretty neat!

demonrail666 · 06.20.2008, 09:34 AM

My God! Some of those Polish film posters are among the best I've ever seen. A few of them seem to have been done by the same person. Would love to know who.

You must spread more zlotys around before giving them to o o o again.

o o o · 06.20.2008, 09:50 AM

here are some other polish film posters (and some really nice ones), with the name of the artists:

o o o · 06.20.2008, 10:06 AM

and to find out the name of the artists featured in this thread, you can do a search on this site (for example, with the name of the film, the name of the director, or the film's "country"):

there is also a history of the polish school of poster design on the main page.
