Movie Posters / Dvd Covers...

[Chris303]

I don't have the biggest DVD collection (just over 100 I think) so I can only go on what I've got but I really like the Dr Strangelove cover:

and the Fight Club cover:

Although that one doesn't give anything away about the film, it just looks cool.

Your favourites?

[Chris303]

As for film posters, Saul Bass's posters are pretty damn good:

And his Anatomy of a Murder poster:

Close up:

Saul Bass attempted to find a string of graphical symbols that would act as a summary of the plot.

[Ebisumaru]

Criterion, as ever, do the bestest covers:

[Chris303]

Wow, that's a great set, I love the Fear and Loathing one!

I've only got this one from the Criterion collection, which is a bit dissapointing compared to the others. There is just so much imagery in Seven Samurai and all they could come up with is a frame from the film? A good frame, but nothing special inho:

[Paulando]

Although that one doesn't give anything away about the film, it just looks cool.

Yeah, that's a nice one. Another Fincher film, and some more nice artwork, is the R4 Deluxe version of Seven:

...apart from that horrible, horrible Australian age certificate logo

[Chris303]

Yeah it's very nice, but don't you think a bit cliché? A tear on the page, jaunty type writer text and splattered blood?

[Chris303]

Would you believe Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas isn't out in R2?

[Ebisumaru]

I've only got this one from the Criterion collection, which is a bit dissapointing compared to the others. There is just so much imagery in Seven Samurai and all they could come up with is a frame from the film? A good frame, but nothing special inho:

*Seven Samurai cover*

You're not wrong there, it certainly is a dissapointing cover, especially when you compare it to their other Kurosawa releases:

Still, the film's great nonetheless, so it's not all bad.

[Chris303]

That last one is very nice! And yes, Seven Samurai is a great film.

[Paulando]

Yeah it's very nice, but don't you think a bit cliché? A tear on the page, jaunty type writer text and splattered blood?

Kind of, but I've never seen a DVD cover like that

EDIT: And as for posters, you've got to love this one:

[Ebisumaru]

Although the cover, face-on, isn't particularly impressive, the size of the thing certainly is. Just holding it in your hands imparts how weighty the actual programmes are.

Also, I'd really love to get this one, one day:

[aubergine]

Oh I love that cover, just wish I cold find a poster of it somewhere...

[Sabreman]

I'm a sucker for the traditional painted montage style.

Drew Struzan:

Bob Peak:

[Liquid Myth]

[insert obligatory mention for Polish Posters site]

[Chris303]

Yeah, I've been looking at a lot of polish posters. My favourites:

[Van]

Wow, that's a great set, I love the Fear and Loathing one!

There's only 6.

I haven't seen the film, so there might be something I'm missing...

[Sabreman]

Yeah, there's 6 actual samurai and then Katsushiro, the young wannabe who tags along.

[Eighthours]

Just to add a 2005 flavour to proceedings, I think that the European one-sheet for Batman Begins just oozes class.

[Tequila]

[Chris303]

That Batman one is cool.

[Pete]

I have that on my wall at home. the best DVD cover is probably the hidden fortress one.

[Chris303]

That one is very nice. I like the sunset in the background.

[Pete]

[Major Britten]

[DGR]

[Bojangle]

I this poster.

I want it for my wall.

[sandman]

I can't do pics, but I love The Godfather Part 3 poster, and the Blade Runner one too.

[Bojangle]

The Evil Dead Trilogy DVD box art is aces as well.

[El Spatula]

Bit CAPTAIN CLICHE!!!! but I likes it.

[Bojangle]

Come on people, get posting some DVD Covers and posters! I expect theres some excellent ones which I've never seen and probably won't ever without this thread.

Anyway, I really like this DVD Cover.
