10 Best Movie Posters of All Time

I've picked the 10 most iconic movie. posters of all time let's talk about. [Music]. that good mythical morning thank you for. joining us today I recently watched a. documentary on Netflix called Drew The. Man Behind the poster oh you've been. watching movies again I've been I've. been I've been documenten tizing this. one is about Drew stren who is arguably. one of the most famous movie poster.

artist not aware of this of past decades. new to me uh Star Wars special edition. posters Harry Potter Rambo and The. Goonies seen all those amongst many. other the posters or the movies both. when you think of the movies I bet you. think of the poster for at least some of. these and that's what I learned from. watching the documentary is that I have. a photographic memory that's why no you. don't no he doesn't I have a posterized. memory but I gained an appreciation for. how movie posters today are not what.

they used to be they used to be works of. art they were evocative they made you. intrigued to see the movie it wasn't. just about oh here's the star and here's. the other star whose head is slightly. smaller I want to watch it that is a. good technique though Mark wallberg in. that thing well once you see the. documentary you will disagree okay what. it's led me to do is amass what I. believe to be the 10 most iconic movie. posters of all time I'm going to take. you through this by category risky. you're going to make a lot of people. upset okay yeah that's true I mean but. I'm with you link I'm your buddy you.

could let me know what you think and. then you in the comments you in the. comments you can let me know what movie. posters you think I missed hey don't. hate on me that's that's what the. comments are for don't hate the player. hate posters that he chose yeah and then. pick your own. posters um so here's my list um a whole. group of iconic posters are designed. around an. AR arsenic they're lined with arsenic. they're poisonous do not lick let me try. that again an artistic treatment of an. iconic scene within a movie like The.

Forest Gump poster I mean this is an. iconic scene when he's when he's on the. um the the park bench but you can that's. the right well I think it's a bus. actually the at the bus stop but where. he has the box of chocolates but you see. they replaced everything else with white. yeah cuz he was not on a white site in. the actual movie and then that's not. that's not on my list though but it's. close then you've got the Little Miss. Sunshine poster with you know it's a. great indie film great Indie feeling.

poster they got the iconic scene of them. chasing the the Volkswagen bus but then. it's all on yellow well the whole movie. was filmed on a yellow. psych but my number 10 is the iconic. scene of the fingers touching ET I love. this movie and I love that scene I know. you you see this and you're like I've. got to see the movie and if you've seen. the movie you're like oh I've got to see. the poster again it's like a circular. thing caught in Time Warp because the. poster helps you experience that amazing. aming moment now little fun fact here.

John Alvin the author of the author the. artist he used his daughter in in as one. of the hands yeah I can tell that was a. little girl hand not Elliot's hand no it. was the alien hand his daughter had uh. some some weird long fingers she had. Marfan syndrome no she doesn't she's the. baby so that's not from the actual movie. it's an artistic representation of an. iconic okay that's my number 10 but then. there's a whole bunch of posters that. are iconic because they're icons they're.

literally logos like take the Jurassic. Park logo that's a good one which if I'm. not mistaken this is this is the actual. signage from the park right um which is. a great logo which is all you need for a. great poster but my number nine is the. very first Batman movie Michael Keaton. now when this poster came out before the. movie it just told you oh just look at. the way they did the Batman symbol this. is not going to be some cartoony it. looks like gold it looks like gold it.

can't even fit on the movie poster I bet. you the movie is so awesome it's busting. out of itself this is a new type of hero. movie you could just tell even by the. way they did this the symbol I wonder if. they'll get Michael Keaton to play. Batman cuz that makes a lot of sense. well it says Michael Keaton if in the. fine print on the poster so you would. that would have been confirmed okay my. number eight also an icon of logo the. Ghostbusters logo oh one of the best. ever I mean I think my kids I would put. that higher but you know what I'm with. you buddy my kids have seen.

Ghostbusters uh but even if they hadn't. they knew this logo yeah I think about. Ray Parker Jr when I see that I hear. that. song something strange now uh Dan akroy. when writing the first script he. actually dictated what this logo should. look like so he's kind of credited as. kind of art Direction he was a genius. for that particular one he's not dead. but he was a genius there's a whole. other group of iconic movie posters. which I group in the creative. interpretation of elements from the film. like the moon poster is really cool I.

I'm not I'm not ranking it but I'm. mentioning it because Sam Rockwell and I. are our friends yeah you've ridden plane. planes before yeah and that's that's. pretty much the extent of our friendship. it's kind of psychedelic too if you zoom. in and out on that one it like he's. moving it's like those things in the. mall where if you kind of relax yourself. then the dinosaur comes out yeah if you. look at this poster too long you look. like a mentally Disturbed person though. it's the only problem is uh you also. might be a little mentally disturbed by. my number seven which is fear and. Loathing in Las Vegas I just think this.

is one of the coolest posters ever yeah. it's very a disproportionate neck that's. always a good sign it well it gives you. the experience that you should have when. you're watching the film with dis. orientation also he's in the desert but. you see the reflection of Vegas in his. glasses which is a genius move on the. artist pretty cool part uh another. category is a creative interpretation of. things not in the film so like the. office space poster I mean that was not. in the film but it kind of gives you the. comedic sensibility of what the film.

goes for this is this is funny memorable. poster it catches my eye I think it's. cool love things with poster notes on it. I'm not going to apologize got to see it. but my number six is the Pulp Fiction. poster we had this hanging in our dorm. room didn't we uh we did we did and we. also had one with Vince Vega and uh we. had two that's too that's going too far. now this scene was not in the film this. was actually created you know just a par. a a pop fiction novel right my number. five using elements from the film but. not in the film is The Silence of the.

Lambs great poster now I do remember. this scene with the old moth mouth scene. yeah that that that's a great scene that. didn't happen the skull on the moth on. jod Foster's mouth is made up of naked. women whoa really yeah this is a 1951. Photograph by Philipe hman itself based. on Salvador Do's female bodies as a. skull artwork anytime I draw a skull. women's bodies I mean any that's that's. a given that's pretty cool okay but. here's what I learned from the. documentary this is the appreciation I.

gained that the best movie posters of. all time the most iconic are ones that. are works of art as paintings paintings. my number four is Jaws I mean you say. jaws you picture this poster this is. amazing now the thing is they spent six. months perfecting this poster trying to. make it scary six months scary but. that's a slow painter you can't no no. they just keep try trying different. things to make it scarier oh it didn't. take him six months to paint this one. one how to draw the shark to make it.

really scary and well a lot bigger than. the shark actually is is one way they. did it yeah that's pretty scary all. right and my number three this is a Drew. stren Back to the Future poster this is. great this is this is definitely in the. oh it's in your top three you did it. right yeah this is my number three now. the thing is you just find yourself. thinking okay this is a photograph of. Michael J fox but then you realize you. you start look at this thing more. closely and it there's brush Strokes. there's there's artistic love involv. there's you know the look at the fire.

and the light this is a painting this is. a painter a masterful painter and this. particular one is not from the movie. either I mean all these things happen in. the movie but never in that format my. number two is the first ever 1977 Star. Wars poster by Tom young uh they told. him to emulate the style of Frank fretta. because they couldn't hire Frank he took. some liberties with uh Luke and Leia he. actually used his wife as the model for. Leia and uh showed a little bit more lag.

and some ABS that aren't actually in he. took some liberties with the size of. Darth Vader's head too yeah it's kind of. large I get it all right and finally my. number one Raiders of the Lost Arc. poster designed by Richard amsel you. can't look at this poster and not want. to see the movie I mean it's it's got. all the elements it's got the guy with. in the corner I got to see this movie. what is that guy doing what's wrong with. him yeah he looks very excited makes me. want to see it you're right you think I.
