    House on Haunted Hill. Pretty wacky stuff

    I like TMNT, but House on Haunted Hill has to get it. So much oddness going on.

    Escape from New York, looks very modern for 1981, love the look of big famous bits of architecture in ruins.

    Escape From New York

    How hard did something hit the Statue of Liberty for the head to land in Manhattan? 😋

    Quiet here... such a shame

    Escape from NY - draws me to the movie more than the other - so more of a successful poster

    Escape From New York (1981)

    The statue of liberty's head in the middle of new york city is class

    Escape from ny. Overrated movie but such an awesome poster.

    Escape from New York

    Haven't seen the movie but I like the poster.

    L.A. Confidential (1997)

    Secretary - it foretells the film more - IMHO of course



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,286 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    LA Confidential because it has noir written all over it. I think the Secretary one doesn't really say much about the film, unless you'd already seen it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,656 ✭✭✭davetherave


    LA Confidential. Both posters are very busy with taglines and cast/crew so just have to judge them on the aesthetics of the photo.

    I agree with LA Confidential because of the noir vibe it gives off. Secretary looks a bit cluttered.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,844 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Neither are great but as a fan of film noir, or in this case neo noir, I'd have to go with LA con. I would say Basinger has too much real estate in it, not that I'm complaining too much mind



  • Posts: 32,956 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    LA Confidential is our first winner of the day. Let's see what's next.

    The Blair Witch Project ; crap film, but the posters decent.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,844 ✭✭✭✭Kolido


    Blair witch please.

    Neither are great and can't see them going very far



  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 16,286 Mod ✭✭✭✭quickbeam


    The Truman Show because I can't see up his nostrils.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,656 ✭✭✭davetherave


    Blair Witch Project. Sets the vibe for the spooks
