Top 10 Movie Posters


10. Identity
Not just a hand, but a hand made up of other images. It is a very intense image that successfully foreshadows the movie while still leaving the viewer in the dark.


9. Chinatown
Chinatown mixes a number of uninteresting colors in a very compelling way effectively depicting the a noir/giallo feel.


8. American Beauty
A close up shot of a woman woman holding a red rose close to her bare naval. It is an image that is both beautiful and sexy.


7. The Exorcist
The white light shining down on the mysterious figure is very foreboding cherry picking a simple but definitive image from the movie itself.


6. Vertigo
Like the title suggests, the poster implies an unbalanced and dizzying sensation.


5. Hard Candy
Little Red Riding Hood symbols abound. A young girl presumably innocent in the middle or the beartrap. The poster proves to ultimately prove ironic.


4. Cool Hand Luke
A compelling use of colors against Paul Newman's facade, Newman being one of the bigger selling points of the movie.


3. Silence of the Lambs
A simple image that proves to be oddly terrifying in a very unexplainable way.


2. Pulp Fiction
The poster takes lengths to make it appear like a cover to the old pulp novels it pays homage to.


1. Jaws
One of the most terrifying posters made by one of the greatest poster creators of all time, Drew Struzan
