25.Frankenstein
This 1931 stone litho Frankenstein 6-sheet may be the most valuable film poster in the world. There is only one known copy.
24. Some Like it Hot
Marilyn Monroe and her bosom companions
23. It Happened One Night
22. Easy Rider
21. Pulp Fiction
Poster is in perfect condition ... designed to look like a old pulp paperback.
20. North by Northwest
This poster captures one of the most memorable scenes in film.
19. 12 Angry Men
It explodes like 12 sticks of dynamite.
18. Tootsie
What do you get when you cross a hopelessly straight, starving actor with a dynamite red sequined dress?
17. Taxi Driver
16. Star Wars
15. American Graffiti
Where were you in '62?
14. Rear Window
Love the labels on the windows:
"Miss Torso"
"The Strangers"
"The Honeymooners"
"YOU won't be able to tear your eyes away from this window"
"Miss Lonelyhearts"
13. Raging Bull
12. Schindlers List
Steven Spielberg is the master of movie posters.
11. Wuthering Heights
Great tagline: I am torn with Desire .. tortured by hate!
10. The Royal Tenenbaums
9. Empire of the Sun
War and innocence with the Japanese flag as the horizon ... this poster works on so many levels.
8.Fargo
7. Jaws
This poster is almost as suspenseful as the film.
6. Vertigo
5.Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Simple and effective.
4. Attack of 50 Foot Woman
The poster is better than the movie.
3.Apocalypse Now
This terrifying poster perfectly captures the essence of this great film.
2. Bride of Frankenstein
More fearful than the monster himself! Love this poster, one of many used to promote Bride of Frankenstein (1935). An interesting aspect of film posters of this age is that they represent the black and white characters in the film in full color.
1. Metropolis
Originals of this much loved 1927 classic movie poster have sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars. The poster's modernist, art deco design crosses the line from advertising to art.
