Top Ten Classic Movie Posters

Although cinema and technology has moved on, one thing that has remained constant is the use of movie posters in promoting films. Over the years there have been many posters that stand out and captured the imagination, from cult classics that still make an impact to recent releases that have become iconic instantly. Below is our list of top ten movie posters, leave a comment if you think we've missed any out!

This iconic movie poster was very raunchy 
for the 50's and instantly unforgettable.

       A simple yet powerful poster that conjures up images of the 
       famous dream sequence with Mena Suvari in a bed of rose petals.


A classic film and a simple image that speaks of the bond 
between Elliott and the waddling, glowing-hearted alien.

This Tarantino classic throws back to an earlier decade 
and is finished off with nice touches such as the 10 cent price.


A striking image that brings back memories of childhood tales 
such as little red riding hood, but with a sinister twist.


If you've seen this amazing film, then this poster will take you 
back to the protagonist's escape, a beautifully rendered picture.


A weird insect/bug for a mouth - nice.

We couldn't compile a top ten movie poster list without mentioning 
Saul Bass, the genius behind Anatomy of a Murder, Psycho, The Shining and many more.

A personal favourite an a stunning image that ties 
in nicely with the films most famous moment.


Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water...
