One of my favorites is this rare style A from Chaplin's City Lights 1931 http://www.ralphdeluca.com/web/node/83 Ralph DeLuca I think this is a good list but it leaves out many great examples of 1920’s and 30’s movie poster art.

Hard Candy is a good one and a pleasant surprise. The lack of giallo posters like those of Argento and so on is shitty though.

I guess we're talking about adevertising. A limited space to convey what might be a complex intellectual/emotional narrative, etc. I'd have to say that for my money you can't lose with simple minimalism and the proper use of negative space. It's like with good comic book covers. This is a tough one. I guess we’re talking about adevertising.

The only one on this guy's list is Chinatown, and since that's the only poster included by Struzan, I have to assume that TC Candler thinks it's Struzan's best work. What about the Indiana Jones posters? Personally, I would add Struzan's poster for John Carpenter's The Thing to the list: http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1020/268601.1020.A.jpg As well as the poster for David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch: http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/nakedmar08.jpg How can a list of the Top 100 movie posters of all time be so lacking in the works of Drew Struzan?!

It sums up the movie perfectly and Maggie Gyllenhaal is the sexy woman working in cinema right now. My favourite is the poster for Secretary.
