Awesome movie posters !!!

Rad poster. I guess Travolta and Allen were De Palma favourites for a while (also starred in his Carrie).

edit: oh lmao. Allen was De Palma's wife for a bit there. Handy handy interwebs!

[GaijinPunch]

IMHO, she was the weak link in the film. Didn't write as such in my write up, but whatever.

Meh, wouldn't blow. Out it goes. Have some Euroart:

Car, Eye, Chin. Try to unsee.



TP in poster art? Those Euros, huh...

The light of the burning car in the iris of the eye! Splendid stuff. And the toothbrush in the other suggest healthy dental hygiene.

THE SPARROWS ARE FLYING AGAIN





There is no explicit sex in this picture! (RATED X)





Featuring: Barbeau boobies (live!), Ray Wise, and ARCANE!

All-star cast looking like a vintage Select Ur Fighter lineup Pretty good movie too, even!

OHO, BIG (◎w◎;)

Almost looks like Odyssey 2 box cover art

Where Eagles Dare

Classic! That seamless combo of sweeping panorama and fiery action creates a near-tangible momentum; always makes me think of Tom DuBois' Konami boxarts, in particular Contra III, Castlevania IV, and Top Gun.

[GaijinPunch]

I was about to say - that's 8-bit era box art if I ever saw it. Excellent!

[BIL]

I knew I'd left this somewhere

Bit big (｀w´メ) (◎w◎;)

(full res)

Man, the detailing. Also, I totally forgot quintessential auld stage great Michael Hordern was in it! Been a while. Classy joint all-around.

I've made this post before, but as an old man I have to start repeating myself a lot.

This contemporary example of a movie poster made me really want to see it.

Blimey, thought that was his hog!

I like how the skulls are either unfathomably massive - what strange unearth of extinct godmen does PETER COTTONHELL roam? - or just regular skulls, making him a random rabies bunny - which is ofc also a troubling premise! Don't let him bite you while you whack him with a shovel! Long sleeves, thick gardening gloves!

Rad Boxart Bait N' Switch, proud tradition of the ol' VHS action/horror aisle. 3; I remember the RLM guys - ordinarily so on the ball! - marveling at DEATH SPA's blu-ray sleeve, all "Damn, that must've been commissioned, looks way too good" (image: gay dude getting he RIBZ TEAR AP4RT by the infamous DEATH FLY PRESS ), and me waving my arms and yelling at the computer in a cloud of Cheeto dust "NAWWW! NAWWW! GOD DAMMIT, THATS THE TRVE + HONEST VHS COVER FROM MUH CHILDHOOD MEMORY"

I should go comment on the BOTW ep to reconcile the pain

I had no idea Alain Delon was in anything that wasn't French.

Those eyes...I mean, the cat.

Those eyes, they say only one thing

The cat's I mean!

Christ, a pink one too! It's massive!

Damn it. I had this free VHS mail order catalogue, as a kid. Cheap newspaper quality. They gave 'em out at the rental place. Basically pay to import from the US - I got SFII Animated Movie (uncut with BAD WORDZ n' CHUN BOOBS), and was envy of whole street! Anyway, there was an ad for *ahem* "THE PINK PUSSY." Apparently it's a South American gay art house drama from the 60s. Poster is two buff latino dudes pounding like crazy. We used to think that image+title combo was the most ribcage-exploding hilarious thing imaginable, made photocopies of it and posted it up around our school. (rude kids 3;)

But all the posters I'm seeing are just generic porno. 3; I must resume the search, even knowing I am doomed!

This was also where I first saw ZOMBI II with its classic shot of a formidable Fulci rotter, and the immortal tagline "WE ARE GOING TO EAT YOU!" Holy fuck, so rad

[DMC]

You had me at "South American gay art house drama from the 60s". Please share the poster if you find it again.

Most def! If it comes down to it, I will infiltrate the third world, sneak into my parents' garage, and scan the classified document for posteriority. I mean posterity.

One of my favorite films, I love breaking peoples' minds with it.

Words can never hurt me.




Right in your face.
