Best Movie Posters

Album covers may be a thing of the past. (If you have to ask what an album is…ah, never mind.)

The movie poster, however, remains very much a part of the industry’s culture. It’s that little bit of eye candy that just might entice you to make a last-second switch as you stand in that box office line.

Try as the studios might, most of that artwork doesn’t make a real connection with the moviegoing public. Now and then, however, the poster becomes Almost as Famous as the film.
