Boardsies Decide - Best Movie Poster

breezy1985

I don't know what it is but Full Metal Jacket just looks cool

Sidenote: It's mad looking back there was a time that I didn't have a clue who Carell and Dani were

Damnit, I missed a few. Going for Little Miss Sunshine here as it being bright and cheerful.

Electric Nitwit

Little Miss Sunshine if I'm not too late. Conveys the madness of the family road trip

The other one just says "I'm a war movie", it's generic, it could easily be Platoon etc

At the buzzer we had Full Metal Jacket in charge so that marches on.

Round 1

Pulp Fiction (1994)

Vs

Star Wars (1977)

Sawduck

Pulp Fiction (1994)

I will pick Uma Thurman looking seductive over that overrated star wars movie any day of the week, although the star wars poster isn't bad, the pulp fiction poster is way more iconic

ChannelNo5

Star Wars. I think the artwork just pips it.

Ah now that's just not fair. Both of these are final material.

The Pulp Fiction one reminds me of an ex and Star Wars is something I have loved more than any woman.

I'm actually going to go with Pulp Fiction but just barely as it is so eye catching. It's the kind of poster that would really make you stop and turn back if you passed on the street.

Pulp Fiction - its more instant when you see it. The other you need to look longer to see the individual bits - clever though they are.

Electric Nitwit

Pulp Fiction because I had that poster on the wall as a teenage lad!

Pulp Fiction wins! That was a big match.

Next match takes us to the halfway point of Round 1...

Round 1

Back to the Future (1985)

VS

Shaft (1971)

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Back To The Future ; sets the tone for the film

Not sure if this is closed to new people submitting votes but if not I vote for

Back to the future

The bright colours and dramatic font capture the spirit of the film better whereas the poster for Shaft is not very appealing and quite indistinct.

breezy1985

BttF although it's as much a movie choice as a poster one. The poster is better but only just and both are only ok.

What is a Shaft btw? How can it be someone's "game" and how have people "got shaft up to here"

ChannelNo5

Never seen the Shaft one before. its deadly!!

But so is the BTTF one.

I'm going to go for Shaft just cause its cooler looking.

Round 1

Alien (1979)

VS

A Clockwork Orange (1971)

I’m here, I’m here!

scrolllllllllllllllllll to the top again to bookmark 😂

Purgative

Tricky one. I like both but prefer Clockwork Orange

Alien - it really sets the tone for the movie

PogoRach

Both of these are great...

A Clockwork Orange ; its a piece of art. You'd hang that in a museum.

Irish Aris

oof, too great posters.

I prefer A Clockwork orange as a film, but I find the Alien poster very effective - chilling, setting the mood for the film
