Ah, but you sure can't go wrong with the iconic poster for RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK. Man, it still holds up as one of the all-time greats.J.D.http://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-16352695738734942322010-03-10T10:40:33.806-05:002010-03-10T10:40:33.806-05:00I think Sugarland Express might actually be my fav...I think Sugarland Express might actually be my favorite out of all of these!

Pity when it came time to theatrically release it, Dreamworks decided they needed to spell things out for people, and superimposed Hanks/Burns/Sizemore/Damon into the clouds.The Mad Hatterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00440134802928893661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-10382252355244120092010-03-11T01:58:06.459-05:002010-03-11T01:58:06.459-05:00MovieMan,Very interesting again."The most biz...MovieMan,<br><br>Very interesting again.<br><br>"The most bizarre murder weapon ever used"<br><br>Running somebody over with an automobile is not particular bizarre! What is bizarre is the Close Encounters poster - false advertising and artistic licence there.<br><br>The Jaws one is my favourite.

Imagine if that were produced in 2010 - it would probably have looked like the Land of the Lost poster!Daniel Getahunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05222052132452709301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7610074516299275060.post-50817386434408512962010-03-12T13:31:03.661-05:002010-03-12T13:31:03.661-05:00AI tops...
