  Im not sure how to paste pictures on this site but it's this one from Licence to Kill. Or should I say Licence Revoked. It's the coolest Bond poster I've ever seen.

  My two favorite of the series are probably Dr. No and Thunderball:

  This was not made by me, but I wish it was. The artist is Jeff Chapman. Here's his site: http://jeffach.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3he459
  
  
  
  His Casino Royale poster was inspired by this From Russia With Love poster- one I also enjoy:

  I have a soft spot for the original poster from Octopussy. :)

  Very nice Casino Royale poster there. I hope Jeff Chapman does one for Quantum Of Solace or Skyfall at a later date.

  @Agent005 That tagline is definitely one of the best I've seen on a Bond poster.

  Although a decent one, an almost absurd choice given all the amazing hand drawn posters, including the earlier foreign ones, to choose from. Not to slight your taste.

  My favorite is probably the Live and Let Die poster:

  I love the tarot card theme; especially Baron Samedi, the voodoo doll, and the snake.
  
  Other ones I found that I liked:

  This one is pretty cool too, with all of the villains in the background.

  This one of Honey is really unique.

  And I don't care how girly this is, but I like this poster because I LOVE Solange's dress.

  Ah, @BritishChap007, you made me literally laugh out loud. Might as well just re-word your comment to say, "You have terrible taste. Not to slight your taste."
  
  Yes, there are some beautiful hand-drawn posters out there. The simple photo of Dalton on the LTK poster still happens to be my favourite.

  Sorry, guys had to remove the poster images themselves, as they're MGM/ Eon-copyrighted and thus not allowed to be displayed on the forum. Rules, I'm afraid. ;) Try to remember in future, thanks.
  
  Good thread, though - must link to my faves when I've a spare moment... :)

  I've always hated that about MGM/Eon. They're about exclusivity not inclusivity and it can be a real ball ache as a fan.

  Well, on the upside it may explain why the Eon Bond's been going so long, you know. And, in all fairness, given they were founded by a hard-nosed lawyer like Cubby - and are still co-led by one in the shape of Michael G Wilson - what can you expect...? ;)

  Oops...read this as WHO is your favourite poster...glad I didn't have to choose that!
  
  My favourite was one of a series of discarded Licence Revoked posters that was featured in Premiere magazine. It was an "almost profile" photograph of Dalton, heavily in shadow against a black background, with a simple bit of text on it. I've never found a copy of it on the web.

  don,t know if you saw my thread on Jeff Marshall? He did Lithographs of the first 16 films. which i am lucky enough to have all of them. They are done in that old sketch type poster form.
  
  Would love him to do the next 7 in the film series in some way? Eon should take a look at his work too in my opinion as little as that is! lol

  I have no qualms about the way they handle Bond, I have a lot of faith in them. I guess I just feel like they're a little overprotective when it comes to inconsequential matters. The Star Wars franchise benefits massively from the idea of inclusivity. At the end of the day we're only promoting what we love and it costs them nothing at all.

  Yes, very cool DN poster.
  
  Anyone else a big fan of the old Japanese posters? There are tonnes of great ones in the James Bond Poster book. I particularly like the really elongated banner style ones.
  
  This isn't a banner but still pretty cool...
