Collecting original movie posters is a popular hobby that has become lucrative for some collectors. A rare movie poster can sell for six figures.
Movie posters represent the film and often the director herself/himself has creative control of posters. Other times the posters may be left up to the movie promotion agency. Either way, movie posters are often just as creative as the film itself (and in some cases the poster is better than the the film).
Here are the top 50 most creative and visually effective movie posters of all time:
50. The Seven Year Itch
49. Modern Times
