No brainer: Infra-Man, of course. It has all the required elements, necessary for success: robots, babes in boots, exploding buildings and lasers shooting out of [crypto-robotic] eyeballs.
Also, great custom lettering, and some truly awful machine type: because the future isn't now, it was *then.*
(just in case, image here: http://jorydayne.net/melang...) |

I'm a sucker for Vertigo, the bright striking red, the simple characters and the geometric fun shapes. Also anything in the Saul Bass Font has instant appeal to me. |

Also a fan of Saul Bass' work, I'm a huge fan of this poster for The Man With the Golden Arm: http://www.areaofdesign.com...
It's simplicity in execution is of course more than remarkable, as is the custom hand-lettering, but the overall composition and gestalt of the piece elevate it to the level of being an essential classic. |

My favorite movie poster is probably Clash of the Titans (http://www.cinemasterpieces...) not only because it's a classic movie, and the painting is incredible, but also because my quest to find it on eBay was almost as epic as the story itself! It hung for four years at college and now it will decorate my new apartment in LA! |

When I was kid I had the image from Reservoir Dogs with Harvey Keitel standing over Steve Buscemi in black/white taking up about 2 by 1.5 meters of space on my wall.. That would have to be my favourite movie poster of all times.. Cool movie, cool image, huuuuuuge poster..! I like! |

Huge fan of Robert McGinnis' James Bond posters, which probably relates to how I like your stuff, too. McGinnis also did one for "The Incredibles" upon that film's release, which I believe was used in ads for the theatrical run in Italy. It's really cool, as usual has a fun flow to it. |

My favourite poster is Star Trek the Motion Picture by Bob Peak. I remember picking up the London Evening Stardard newspaper and seeing this stunner. It was the only colour page amongst the poor black and white newsprint so it made an even bigger impression.
If only poster art was half as inspiring now.

Zapped! starring Scott Baio and Willie Aames is AMAZING! Scott has this incredible power where he can move anything with his MIND!!!!! so on the movie poster he's using his crazy brain to lift a girls skirt up!!!! the tag line says..."They're getting a little BEHIND in their class work." CLASSIC!!!!!!
What you might not notice right away but really sets this beast of a poster apart from all others is a painting of george washingtion in the background. he looks quite pleased with Baio's antics! HAHA! woooo! |

And for classic iconography, you can hardly do better than any one of the original Star Wars flicks. They're all great. |

My favorite movie poster of all time is the Pink, Orange and Yellow poster for The Endless Summer. It helped define the sub-genre of surfing films that reflected the true nature of surfing instead of the Beach Party fake-nature of surfing. It's the perfect poster to hang in any room. |

The best movie of all time is 2001: A Space Odyssey. Stanley Kubrick is a genius and posters for that film were beautiful. |

The Princess Bride. While the design of the poster is nothing extraordinary it does hold a special place for me. I was in high school when the movie came out and was sent a package from a friend of mine. Included was the poster with a letter on the back. The poster immediately went on the wall where it remained for a couple of years amongst various punk rock and skateboard pics and posters. Ah, the 80s. |

I always liked the Star Wars: A New Hope poster where it looks like a painting and his lightsaber looks more like a sword. |

My favorite would have to be Event horizon. It was my first full-sized poster that even had the removable release date accross the bottom. |

I love the poster for "Trainspotting" that only has the text of the opening monologue on it, it's so simple and effective.
The poster for "Casino Royale" (the 1967 version) is pretty awesome, too. |

I've got to go with the "Commando Cody: Enemies Of The Universe" poster from 1955. It's an image that's been stuck in my head for the last 30 years, ever since I first saw it as a kid. |

Oh, it was just me being silly... here I was, trying to post my comment at Notcot. Oops. I guess, since I already commented there, I'll just post the same comment again:
I think I have a weakness for the classic Star Wars Trilogy posters for the earlier three movies… you know, the ones with the huge heads epically floating in space, small battle scenes clustered at their necks within glowing nebulae… I like those posters. |

I have an original San Franciso Subway poster for Apocolypse Now hanging in my living room. It's about 5ft by 4ft. Its fantastic but my favorite poster is:
The Valley of The Dolls.
It's so decadent, and I love the graphic design of their lives inside a pill. |

I had a Psycho movie poster (the old version, not the remake) on my wall for years.
It was always a favourite of mine. |

Normally any poster that is painted turns my head, but I think Forbidden Planet is top. It hits all the points, and the colors are just beautiful. |
