    I am often in the less is more and Can't say it any better than this: "No frills here but then none were needed. The park’s logo against a simple black background and signed off with the inspired “An Adventure 65 Million Years In The Making.” Instantly identifiable and conveys all the information with simple elegance. Testament to the fact that sometimes less is more."

    Another great poster that captures all the key components of the film: BACK TO THE FUTURE

    The iconic image "superbly riffed-on in the posters to both sequels... this artwork from master of the medium Drew Struzan takes all of the film’s iconic objects (Marty’s threads, the DeLorean, the flaming tyre tracks) and combines them in a single, stunning image. Plus he’s looking at his watch. Because time travel."

    Spielberg really had some great movie posters... ET is another. "Based on Michelangelo's Sistine chapel ceiling piece, The Creation Of Adam, this reproduction has E.T.’s as the hand of God and Elliot’s (actually poster designer John Alvin’s daughter) as Adam. It’s an apt reflection of the film’s religious allegory and an indelible image for movie fans. It was replaced by Amblin’s now synonymous flying bike image in later posters but this first effort remains the most effective."

    Russian poster for Afgrunden (The Abyss) (1910), probably from a couple of years later.

    Love the minimal palette simplicity of this one, reminds me of one of my brothers Absinthe posters.

    Jaws is probably my favourite ‘Blockbuster’.
    I’m particularly fond of this poster.

    This early talkie was going to be called Titanic until the shipping company objected and threatened a lawsuit. All "Titanic" references were cut from the release print:

    Sorry to take up a lot of space but one of the pleasures of being a kid set loose in a video store was just seeing the covers, of which Headless Eye and Company of Wolves always stuck out. I never anticipated a movie more than after I saw the poster for The Monster Squad at age 9. The Demon Lover poster has an image of a demon that I used as my avatar on DVDmaniacs and was most likely drawn by Val Mayerik who stars in the film and around the same time co-created Howard the Duck. The others are Lewton and Bava which are faves and therefore worthy. This next one I post to represent noir, but also to note how Lizabeth Scott looks like Pee Wee Herman in a blonde wig:
