A classic. My favorite Saul Bass poster. I love the two colors and the simplicity.

Perfect artwork for the movie, and I also love the layout. Plus, my favorite character -- cat -- gets principal placement.

I own this poster and never get tired of looking at it. I love the little curl of water underneath the title.

One of the worst critic quotes ever -- they hugged it? Other than that, I love how big and bold the title is.

My favorite Tarantino poster. I think this is the Spanish version, with the silhouetted girls in the background.

I might like this a little more than the Jaws poster. For one thing, the art goes all the way to the edge, and there is something about struggling to get to the surface of water that makes my palms go all sweaty.


It's the solitary figure walking away from the couple that gets me. The typeset -- font? -- is good too.




Another weird tagline. Nine strange people? Really? But the art blows me away, especially the sun hitting the top of the mountains in the background and the stagecoach drivers.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I find it interesting that George C. Scott didn't get main billing with the rest of the bigger names on the "Anatomy of a Murder" poster.
This actually has nothing to do with anything, because it is a cool poster, but when I see Maurice Chevalier's name, I always think of one my favorite lines from Annie Hall ""Boy, those guys in the French Resistance were really brave,you know? Got to listen to Maurice Chevalier sing so much."
