I'll go first













Sadly, the majority of these are affordable, i just lack wall space.

They are cool !!!

For me I think i'd pick one of the Soviet era Polish ones (sci fi or horror)

They're so dang freaky

Drac v Frank was an awesome poster. The VHS case had the same art, IIRC.

Euro impressionistic posters are incredible.



This is Italian. I had it signed by Doug Bradley. I can't remember what he tagged it with, we were talking for awhile. It got damaged in a flood then I sold it, post-kids. Too creepy to have laying around.

I love all of those. The Swamp Thing one is interesting in that it captures Dick Durrock's makeup look, but that is in no way Adrienne Barbeau!

Those three are really cool! Definitely products of the days before Photoshop and all the digital canoodling you see on movie posters these days. I've never understood why the overseas markets frequently get WAY cooler posters/marketing for stuff than we get here in the U.S.

One of my all-time favorite movies and one was recently up on ebay that I missed the end of the auction and missed out on getting a GREAT deal:

Well, I have one in my toyroom similar to this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-French-Batman-Movie-Poster-18-X-24-Stretched-Canvas-Print-/400750309726?hash=item5d4e94715e:g:2GMAAOSwGvhT2c6d#ht_2694wt_686

But mine is in Spanish, Batman's costume is red, and the 3 pics are the bottom are different.

I think Black Shield Of Fallworth is credited as Universal-International's first feature in CinemaScope. It's also known for a line that Tony Curtis NEVER says in the film "Yonder lies the castle of my mudder and fodder." I think that this was the critics dig at Curtis being a Brooklyn boy and that he couldn't act. BTW, Janet Leigh....DAMN!!! is all I have to say. Jamie Leigh is her mothers daughter

I'm having a hard time picturing Tony Curtis as a knight.

Daz - that Diabolik poster is awesome

Guessing you've never seen Taras Bulba

Love Falworth, glad to see other fans here. Diabolik--always "Wow!" The Rennie one is pretty cool.

But it's the Reb Brown Cap one that I'd fork over for.

Creature from the Black Lagoon.

Fun thread!

I'm not an uber fan of the film itself, but I think the King Konng 76 poster by John Berkey is one of the greatest movie posters ever. So epic in its exaggeration, and so iconic. I would also take my personal favorite, Creepshow:



Now, if you REALLY want to have fun, Google image search your favorite 80s films, but add "Thai Poster" to your keyword search. The posters from Thailand all worked on the "More is More" principle, and they are Bat **** Crazy!! But they are so wild and full of little vignettes, I just find them much more fun and interesting than their American counterparts.



Check out the wild Jaws posters from Thailand:


Luci Fulci's the Beyond has an awesome Thai poster.
