I love That Poster!

Hello Everyone,

I do not know about those of you reading this, but I love movie posters. I love finding unused poster concepts on some of my DVDs, such as Batman Begins. I find that a lot of times the better posters are the ones that were not used or those that were used in Europe.

I am a big James Bond fan, but at first I did not like the teaser posters for Quantum of Solace, but now I love it. A shadow of Bond with a machine gun set against the stone ground. It nicely shows how the storyline from Casino Royale will continue into this new film.

I just saw the Official Iron Man poster earlier this week; check it out online. I think it looks like a Star Wars posters, not like most of the basic Superhero posters.

I really love the US One sheet of Blade Runner. Rachel Rosen smoking a cigarette in the middle to the right, Harrison Ford in the middle of the poster with his gun held up at the side of his head and a futuristic looking building at the bottom of the poster; very noirish.

The 1997 Re release of the original Star Wars films I thought were great looking; even better than the original release posters.

I absolutely love the Donnie Darko posters with the Frank the Bunny mask that is composed of images from the film. I love it so much that I bought it and have it in an ikea frame in my house.

Back to Star Wars. The newer Star Wars films had posters that practically mirrored the format of the 1997 Re released posters for the original Star Wars films. The advance/teaser poster for Phantom Menace I thought was great; anakin as a boy with his shadow appearing on a sand house as the shadow of Darth Vader; really nice. The US Banner for Revenge of the Sith with Anakin's cape forming the vader's mask was really interesting to see and seems to continue the idea from the Phantom Menace advance poster.

The Terminator 2 poster with Arnold as the Terminator on the motorcycle all done up in leather is one of the great action film posters of all time.

The European poster for The World Is Not Enough is so much better than the US release poster for the film; the European ones are usually better, but not always.

The Dark Knight poster with Ledger as the Joker painting 'Why So Serious?' in blood on a transparent screen is great looking, as are all the posters with Ledger as the Joker in them.

I also loved the Casino Royale (2006) poster with Bond at the casino table; that would be a great poster to frame and have in one's home; ah maybe one day.

The Pan's Labyrinth posters were very eerie, but also very beautiful looking, appealing to both the dark and fairy tale qualities that exist within the film.

Well I hope that you enjoy my brief discussion of movie posters that I love. Are there movie posters out there that you love? If so, leave a comment on my blog. I would love to hear your opinions etc.

Take Care everyone. Winter is almost over.
