The Long Goodbye – German poster
This German poster for Robert Altman’s 1973 classic, The Long Goodbye, encapsulates everything I love about retro cool. It is about as minimal as a poster can be. The bold yellow bolsters the black and white detail and the whole thing is gloriously lo-fi. The cut and paste DIY aesthetic is pulled of flawlessly and...
Sssssss – US poster
As corny as the poster to Sssssss (AKA: SSSSnake) is, there is something about the concept that genuinely unnerves. This poster is executed very well. Movie: Sssssss Director: Bernard L. Kowalski Country of movie: USA Year of movie: 1973 Country of poster: USA
Spread Eagles – US poster
I am deeply in love with the poster for this 1968 obscuro, Spread Eagles. Its design is so simple, yet its impact is disorienting.

Call of the Wild – Cuban poster

Movie: Call of the Wild Director: Ken Annakin Country of movie: USA Year of movie: 1972 Country...
Chelsea Girls – US poster
Here’s an interesting situation… I rank the following theatrical poster for ‘Chelsea Girls’ as perhaps my favourite of all time. Despite this, I have never seen the film in question. I figure it could never possibility live up to this beautiful design and, as such, haven’t bothered. So this is a rare case of a...
