I watched Chinatown for the first time a couple days ago. These really piss me off, especially the first one.

So based on that experience would you define Jack Nicholson's receding hairline as one of the definitive, poster-worthy images from that movie or

It's especially grating as the original poster had this wave motif which just looks pleasant and art-deco unless you know that water's a huge plot point.

I love how the starfield extends through the billing block and how everything is visually off center because the creator is too drat lazy to alter a mask.

This one is a neat concept.



Ah yes, that scene where the monkey spontaneously evolves into James Bond and shoots a bad guy was truly the best moment in Skyfall.

Why is it all so grey, why I don't understand why would you take a beautiful photograph of space and make it grey and bland :stare:

I like the idea of turning the island into a blood splatter and the island and the grid are actually very important motifs to Battle Royale, but the fake poster effects are horrible and while the original poster isn't great, it had a much better idea by using a class photo as the main image.

That skyfall one is atrocious, only having a shadow on the last figure and using the evolution of man image for some bizarre reason. When was that ever a part of Skyfall at all? Looking at it again, is it showing bond reaching his peak and then falling down? Because I read it as a really bad representation of that scene from the start where he's fighting another guy and then he falls off a bridge.

Of course the best version of the Battle Royale poster is this bad boy

Nah, that one came up when I tried GIS'ing but there's something about the colour scheme and design that seems to match, too. I dunno, having worked in a bookstore for so long it could be anything from the last sixty years.

A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.

This one actually works pretty well, because it illustrates two things that are clear points in the film. A)The movie takes place on an island and B)It has a motif centered around killing. There's also the added bonus of the grid being emphasized, indicating that it means something more than "here's a map of the island!" This is probably the best "minimalist" poster I've seen so far.

The wrinkled/creased paper texture works for that one because, well, it's supposed to bring to mind the physical map used by the students during the competition. It's probably the only fan-made, minimalist poster I've seen on here that has a legitimate reason to use that motif.

If I had three wishes I'd wish for a better tagline and a picture of the lamp that isn't loving awful. And maybe a version of Aladdin without Robin Williams, I dunno.

Looks like a shoddier version of the first teaser poster for the film.
