    Apocalypse Now (1979

    Amazing miles better of the two and what a class film too.

    Miami connection poster does absolutely nothing for me

    Apocalypse now. That poster is class.

    Glad to see you are back Omack.

    Apocalypse Now ; I've seen that Miami Connection poster loads of times and never really copped before that there are stills from the movie in the letters because ultimately the poster doesn't grab your attention enough to warrant a second glance. Apocalypse Now draws you in more and the font style for the film title is devine.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,953 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    At first glance I dismissed Miami Connection as looking like a cheap holiday brochure but I think that's deliberate, and when you zoom in to the images in the letters it's quite interesting. I'm torn now

    I think I'll vote Miami Connection

    Apocalypse Now is iconic, but is a little cluttered, I think it could be much better

    Apocolypse Now - iconic

    Aaaaagh! So hard.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    E.T The Extra Terrestrial (1982)

    Tough choice but ET poster is one of the most iconic images in movie history

    E.T The Extra Terrestrial ; tough call, but I'd be more inclined to hang a framed poster of this in my house as artwork than I would of The Shining, so it gets my vote



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 12,953 ✭✭✭✭Electric Nitwit


    Tough one, but vote ET, it's beautiful


    Also, despite being so famous, I don't think that image is that representative of The Shining



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,835 ✭✭✭ari101


    ET please for the magical mystery it creates :)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative



    It is. Its difficult (for me) to keep separating that I liked the film.

    The Shining - it lays that future menace in the film out, whereas ET, yes its a scene from the film but it could equally be Mary Poppins or some such.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,680 ✭✭✭Mehaffey1


    Great to see a game back on the forums!

    That's a tough choice as The Shining is one of my favourites and I didn't like E.T

    I vote E.T. The scale of the moon and the oddness and intrigue of it all is fantastic.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,250 ✭✭✭Notmything


    Never seen the shining so the poster means nothing to me,


    But e.t. brings back so many memories of the old cinema in Carlow.



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,287 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    Toughest one yet, but ET.



  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    ET rides on into the next stage



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,436 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Both iconic and although I never saw it, will have to pick ET


    Ps. Think I nominated the Miami Connection but it was this poster which surely would have won that match.

    Tiffanys, gotta love the posters from that era.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Breakfast At Tiffany's ; nice and colourful, stands out if you were walking down a cinema corridor, whereas Dark City would just blend into the background



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,511 ✭✭✭Purgative


    Breakfast at Tiffanys - nicer poster, crackin film



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,552 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Breakfast at Tiffanys. Haven't seen either, but B@T is brighter, and more appealing to the eye colour wise.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,714 ✭✭✭Sawduck


    Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

    More pleasant to the eyes, plus its pretty iconic too



  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Breakfast at Tiffany's advances

    Breakfast at Tiffany's (1961)

    Not even sure what is happening with the other one



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,791 ✭✭✭KathleenGrant


    Would have voted the Shining but anyways....

    Breakfast at Tiffany's. Dark City probably suits movie but can't make anything out.
