Favourite/Non-favourite Movie Posters

A film usually relies, first and foremost, upon a good trailer, and an eye-catching poster.
Over the years there have been good, bad and downright lazy and blimmin’ ugly film posters. Some are so nasty and inappropriate that they are good…in a perverse sort of way. :smile:

There is so much brilliant art-work out there, and so many extremely talented artists, that it seems a shame not to celebrate their work over the past few decades.

Do you have a favourite movie poster? Any decade, any year, and any genre.
Amigos can either own original posters, or re-productions, or simply post a shot of a poster that they would like to have. After all, film posters date back to the beginning of cinema, so take your pick, and post your favourites.

To start:

Have fun, amigos…

Therapist: Clean shaven Silence isn’t real, he can’t hurt you
Clean shaven Silence:

I don’t like this poster at all :joy: Nothing wrong with clean shaven men, but clean shaven Silence is nightmare fuel. Also, Kinski looks like he could be a hillbilly npc in gta v. And Pauline seems to have turned from Afro-American to white

I remember seeing a German poster of Johnny Hamlet but can’t find it anywhere :thinking:

The reason why I liked the poster is that there’s a text on it that says “Django ist Hamlet” (=Django is Hamlet) and I laughed because I thought it’s funny and cute: Among the dozens of German fake Djangos, one Django is Hamlet :laughing: (Is he called Django in the German dub or does he go by Johnny Hamilton, though?)

These two Ghanian posters are easily in my top 5 of movie posters.

I prefer those two. Hadn’t seen the lower one earlier, though. I’ve always found the red poster badass :smile:

I’ve always loved this German Hate is my God poster, also used for home releases of Son of Django. Does anyone know if it was used prior to Hate is my God? I assume so…

I just can’t stop talking about Hate is my God. It’s so strange, I love it.

‘Arrow’ must surely be overdue for another SW BD boxset soon…you never know, Dean…Here’s hoping. :wink:

Here’s all of us hoping for another SW boxset soon… :cowboy_hat_face:

Once FilmArt are done sitting on it, they can hopefully sublicense it to Arrow, that’d be cool.

I couldn’t find a good-quality pic of the poster itself, but this illustration from A Coffin for the Sheriff poster goes so fu**ing hard :weary: :fire:

This is so cute :joy: It’s a poster of Gentleman Jo but depicts Django from Django the Bastard. The name on the cross is wrong too as it’s supposed to be Sam Hawkins. Even the year is wrong! 1883 instead of 1881.
In addition, Django looks very harmless and his hair is looking thicc and majestic :face_holding_back_tears:

Thick majestic hair LOL very important for a leading man, but not essential

:wink:
