    I prefer the first poster for Sorcerer. That's a proper 70's cinema poster. Love the hand drawn posters of the era.

    @Fire_and_Ice_Returns , those are great, especially the second and third.

    The film has some incredible imagery that matches and out does the posters, when the journey begins its also a journey on philosophical and metaphorical level.

    The 2nd poster is my favorite though more so because of what the image represents in the context of the film.

    I have yet to see the original though I have heard its extremely good, I must make an effort to get hold of it, it may be on YouTube. Cool poster.

    The details in this OHMSS poster are incredible. This (which I believe was a concept art poster), and the one where Bond is fully clothed are both among my favourite Bond posters.

    Never seen this one before. Interesting to see that they reused artwork from past films in marketing a new film.

    Great posters @007InAction and @Thunderfinger!
    Do you happen to know who illustrated the Jaws poster, @007InAction?

    It certainly looks like it can be! Paul Mann makes so many good posters; his Instagram account is worth a follow for those using the app.

    These are some really cool posters! Certainly shows that minimalistic can be just as beautiful as elaborate poster designs.

    Had to look up the trailer for this film, and it definitely looks like the sort of crazy comedies I enjoy to watch. Great poster too – and like the trailer, heavily inspired by the world of James Bond!

    Yup. Bernard Lee and Lois Maxwell even reprised their most famous roles in this movie :

    There are so many great posters made for Apocalypse Now, and these are all really great. The first one might be my favourite of these three!

    Renato Casaro, the artist behind many iconic movie posters, highlights his most important posters and has a few words to say about his Octopussy artwork.

    The OHMSS poster is great.

    I think I prefer the top line middle poster of Wakanda Forever.

    That OHMSS is one of my favourite Bond posters, actually. Very different. Actually, for some reason (to me at least), the model posing as Bond kinda looks like Henry Cavill.

    Looking at them side by side, the first one of the Wakanda posters stands out more. The last one is a bit interesting as well, with the bold colours.

    This one makes me think of Hitchcock's Rear Window!

    Good call! Maybe that was the inspiration.
