what are your favorite movie posters?

Some of my favorites are:

Braveheart
Road to Perdition
Scarface (italian version)
Almost Famous (the one with Kate Hudson)
Gladiator (french version)
Pulp Fiction
Hook
Sleepy Hollow

Maybe someone could recommend some other good ones. I'm trying to pick out a few good ones to decorate my home theater room.

I love movie art, and the list of the posters I love goes on and on.

Recent favorites, for the sake of conversation:

Nearly all theatrical LOTR poster (not a huge fan of the ROTK posters, though)

Se7en

The Crow

Requiem for a Dream

The Boondock Saints

And yeah, on and on.

Chinatown
Dawn of the Dead
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Clockwork Orange (ludovico)
Star Wars (Luke pointing forward with gun)
Vertigo

Trainspotting has some nice one sheets.

Natural Born Killers very cool poster

12 Monkeys good poster with no actor's faces on it.

Last of the Mohicans great poster

The Kid Stays in the Picture really cool and retro

Carlito's Way can't go wrong with Al Pacino

I love braveheart and lord of the rings but I cant stand the posters. They're typical hero shots or 5 giant heads crammed in a poster. Ughh.

I'll go ahead and post pics of ones I like:








and the orignal star wars poster are great.
and of course pulp fiction.

My favorite posters, for the most part, have been the illustrated posters like the ones Drew Struzan does, or like Bob Peak used to do.
