Favourite Movie Posters?

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.



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.





So what are your favourites?let's see some examples.

I've got this one aswell, which i like, but it's never realy fitted in with my others so it hasn't spent much time on the walls.
