Yes THANK YOU for including (a) classic film(s) into the bunch. That was really the point of teh thread to find cool (and not so cool) posters from the past, present, future and share them with a *cough* link to the image of teh poster *cough*. Heh....

I fixed it up, E, but I worry that you might have consumption...oh yeah, you youngsters call it *cough* TB.

This is easily the best poster I've seen in this century. I just wish it was much larger (use all your enlargement features or remember it from your newspaper.)

I dunno, I prefer this one:

Here are some more great ones:

A Clockwork Orange

King Kong

Metropolis

The Fear and Loathing poster art is garbage compared to Ralph Steadman's artwork that was in the book.

books suck

I'm not trying to advocate these as INCREDIBLE, but maybe you haven't seen them.

Dr. Strangelove (China)

2001: A Space Odyssey

Midnight Cowboy

Little Big Man

Every cover that has been done for the Criterion Collection is incredible. I know they aren't posters, but I wanted to talk about them somewhere.

Grindhouse

I still haven't picked up on it yet but I do want a Grindhouse poster.

The best poster I liked was from Mars Attacks. Any place cheap where I can get a small version of the poster? The one that was displayed in the theaters. It had all the martians on it. What a cool looking design.

Martian leader.

BEST:
Star Wars: Episode I Teaser Poster - I tripped out when I first saw this and HAD TO HAVE IT!

Pulp Fiction International Poster - THE BEST PULP FICTION POSTER EVER! (Mostly 'cuz Bruce Willis is apart of it!)

Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood - I think the REAL GUNS look much better than the stupid water guns they ended up going with on the DVD case.

The Descent - I love the image of 6 chicks forming a skull!

WORST:
The Hudsucker Proxy - I actually like the artwork, but the fact that they have Tim Robbins holding (what I see as) a spoiler makes this one of the worst for me. It's funnier when you have NO IDEA what the crap he's created! All you know is it's round and that it's "For kids".

That's all I can think of right now. There are probably alot more than this, but I was really only going by the BEST posters I've owned over the years. I still have my "Episode 1" & "The Descent" posters hanging in The Den. The "Don't be a Menace..." and "Pulp Fiction" posters were traded out loooooong ago. Not because I didn't like 'em anymore, but they weren't framed and got tattered and torn as I moved and the kids messed with 'em and such. I didn't have the heart to trash 'em, though. So I gave them to friends who promised to restore and take care of them.

I went out on Saturday and found a banned teaser poster for "Spider-Man" that featured the Twin Towers for only 10 bucks! It's plastic wrapped to a piece of cardboard, so it's relatively safe until I can afford to find a proper frame for it. I wanted to get a "The Dark Knight" "Why so serious?" Joker poster, but the wife didn't want me spending 25 bucks on a movie poster. So I got a "Sin City" one. It's the one with Nancy (lower left picture... DUH!). I know! I couldn't believe she let me get it either!

The best Poster for me would undoubtedly be Rambo-6 (A clench of Fist and the words..It isn't over until it's all over)...

The worst would be Beyonce's "Dream Girl's"
