@Evie – I understand what you’re saying but I don’t think that excludes it from being a great poster.

A LOT of the films in that era were “Blaxploitation” films and I don’t think it makes sense to paper over that fact, quite the opposite in fact, I think that we should celebrate how much has changed and look back at such titles (and there are many a LOT worse than that one) to see how far we have progressed as moral human beings.

I presume this list was made on artistic merit, rather than any ethical grounds and I think that’s a good thing.

Great list and thanks for sharing it. I’ve done something similar on my blog, but I’ve focussed on the names of the films (only done films starting with “a” so far) because I think that, along with the stunning artwork, it was the actual names of many of these b-movies and horror films that makes them so amusing and attractive!

The typography on the Ex-Lady poster is amazing, every bit as stunning as the image of Bette Davis. The use of the three or four different font styles gives the poster a whimsical, mercurial feeling. The mix of straight, bold lettering with soft, curving font exudes as much personality as the woman. This poster is an excellent example of the power of typography in graphic design.

Nice list with the exception of “The Jazz Singer.” I was disappointed to see such a racist poster on here.

I have to play devils advocate and say that these aren’t really amazing to me. Are they amazing because of the vintage nature, or the iconic movies they represent? However, there are a few that I do feel are amazing. #17 “The Wall” is amazing. If you’ve seen the movie then you will totally connect with the poster. You feel the movie when you look at it. Choosing watercolor as the medium is also an amazing choice. Something that just wouldn’t have been captured with modern digital renderings.

#4 and #7 are also pretty great. The use of color and space really makes them special. Agree/Disagree?
