We see them every day,most are instantly forgettable,however some are very memorable and are works of art that deserve more recognition.
So what are your Favourites?Here are mine.
Pulp Fiction-Great reproduction of the classic noir femme fatale,an iconic image.

Silence of the Lambs-Inspired by the photographic piece by Philippe Halsman entitled Salvado Dali Volupate mors which in its self was inspired by one of Dali's own works,if you look closely the skull on the moth is made up of human bodies,art imitating art,imitating art if you will.
http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u139/dazpier/9974.jpg
The Descent-An even more vivid homage to the works mentioned above.

Straw Dogs-A hard hitting,brutal and visually striking image perfectly mirrors the theme of the movie it portrays.

Good example,a distorted and mind bending visual "trip" ,just like the movie.

Um let me see...I always liked the U.S. poster for ZOMBIE aka ZOMBI 2...with that marvelous zombie guy with the worms.
And I always LOVED that Phantasm onesheet...always wanted to get one of those. The full-on painting with all the images. Beautiful gorgeous painting!

I dont really have a one true favourite movie poster, but I did find poster's to some of my favourite movies. There is a lot so it's quite image heavy which I aplogise for, but they are truely some good posters.
The first three that I have to put up are the poster's for my ultimate favourite horror movie trilogy...SCREAM.

The next poster is from another excellent movie that I just love. The Crow
And I think the poster is very good.

MORE IMAGES ON NEXT POST.
Alright I may have gone a little overbored with all the poster's but I could'nt help it. When it comes to poster's I'm a big fan and I love all of these ones for various reasons.

The poster is better than the film. Flawless as a poster, and the people look truly afraid.

The only really good scream poster, very cool.

The park's logo as a poster? Perfect.

Yeah... I know.... Those were colossal. But I really don't feel like resizing tonight. Just pretend it's for... atmosphere.. or realistic viewing or something.

Herbert West's suggestion of phenomena reminded me of this striking poster for Argento's Opera.
