Actually the poster in the header was cool to me. Just the gun vs sword and I knew the movie. Would not pay 150 for it because I already have a Raiders movie poster.

Princess Bride, like for serious. I want it for my Xmas now. I love love love this.

What is the one below the header picture? My heart says Deliverance or Planes, Trains and Automobiles but my mind is telling me that "my guts have shit for brains" and I don't know what that has to do with anything. Either way, I'm requesting clarification from someone else's brain.

(I hope that's the one you're talking about otherwise, move along, nothing to see here.)

Zombieland and Shaun of The Dead. They're all pretty spleniferous though.

Funny, for the Zombieland poster, the letters ren together a bit so it almost looks like "THE BUBBY SYSTEM", where I thought there might be a little known rule when fleeing zombie in which you sacrifice your grandmother to the approaching hoards in an attempt buy yourself a few needed seconds to get away. Which actually sounds more like the "Kafin Kup System" when you think about it.

If I can't have them all? Zombieland, Amelie, and the Iron Giant.

Here's the thing; I like minimalist posters. I love them. But I see them so often (I spend a lot of time collecting pictures on the internet) that I'm starting to feel like they're just posters for lazy people. Or by lazy people, maybe. Or both. Cuz look, that Princess Bride poster is cool. But it has nothing to do with the general themes and ideas of the movie.

superasante: That's a fair point, but I think the appeal of them is in celebrating how even the simplest of ideas can be incredibly memorable. I mean, I will probably think of The Princess Bride whenever I hear the phrase "six-fingered" for the rest of my life.

Personally, I'm not sure what amount of money I would not shell out for the Jaws one.

Once again, I am convinced that these putzes that make "minimalist" revisionist movie posters are all The Worsts.

This shit is the opposite of clever and regardless of what these nimrods think "minimalism" isnt about just not doing much.

Minimalism is a dialogue predicated on the promise that you be clever and say alot with very little. Its an elegant design solution that speaks volumes elegantly with a minimum of vocabulary.
It is not (for the 9 millionth god damn time) you saying "hey remember how this thing was in that book/film?" and couching it in a really bland composition like every single other "minimalist" fan poster art blog on the internet.

It's a cliche at this point to even have to mention how lazy this all is.

I'm with Three-nineteen - that was a fantastic poster and well worth the $150.00.

LOVE the Dumb and Dumber poster. I might even pay that much...

Ghostbusters. Obviously

Empire is the best one. Almost Famous after that.

I'm gonna have to side with renaldo. These are all awful, and this trend needs to end already, just like the stupid 'art deco' character posters that have been popping up everywhere. It was cute once, maybe, but let's just stop it already.

The Princess Bride looks like the only one that's worth $150.
