What Movie Posters Should Look Like

This is being linked to everywhere so, why not here. Criterion DVD packaging makes me lament modern movie posters.

these are great. i especially love the Fear and Loathing one!
movie posters need to use more illustration again!!!
i for one am sick of the photo montage thing.

i'm absolutely with you about movie poster lamentation. for me it hit home when i saw Neubecker's poster for Sideways a couple of years ago and was simply giddy over how cool it was. it was a contrast reaction to a great poster among so many mediocre and bad posters.
for my money i could see a lot more of Ralph Steadman on movie posters. might even make me want to see a movie now and then.

Not defending modern movie posters, but these all look like books I don't read.

Once I played Archlord, I did not know how to get strong, someone told me that you must have [url=http://www.gameim.com/product/Archlord_Online_gold.html]Archlord gold[/url]. He gave me some [url=http://www.gameim.com/product/Archlord_Online_gold.html]Archlord money[/url], he said that I could [url=http://www.gameim.com/product/Archlord_Online_gold.html]buy Archlord gold[/url], but I did not have money, then I played it all my spare time. From then on, I got some [url=http://www.gameim.com/product/Archlord_Online_gold.html]archlord online Gold[/url], if I did not continue to play it, I can sell [url=http://www.gameim.com/product/Archlord_Online_gold.html]cheap Archlord gold[/url] to anyone who want.
