Need some opinions on some movie posters i'm thinking of buying.

A couple match ups here. I'm having trouble deciding. I love all the movies im posting about so its not a question of what movie is better, just what poster do you think is cooler. Okay here we go:

Re: Need some opinions on some movie posters i'm thinking of buying.

i'd go with BUTCH AND SUNDANCE and FITZCARRALDO

normally i'd suggest a COOL HAND LUKE poster over a BUTCH AND SUNDANCE poster but that COOL HAND LUKE poster doesn't do anything for me

Ditto.

That FITZCARRALDO poster is amazing! If they'd actually used that poster to advertise it in New York when the film opened I might have gone to see it. (They didn't--this is the first time I've ever seen that poster.)

I like the Fitzcarraldo poster. I also like the simple nature of the Cool Hand Luke poster with the tiny white silhouettes of the guards tracking him down on top.

The design of the Butch poster eppeals to me the most, I think it's the "coolest" of the four.

Have you figured out yet where you are going to display the one you choose?

No doubt. Man that's awesome. OP you're crazy if you don't get all over that.

Now for a second choice, I would get the 'Cool Hand Luke' poster.

I like some of the other 'Butch & Sundance' posters so much better than that re-release poster you have there, there are some cool ones out there. I definitely wouldn't get that re-release 'Butch' poster out of that group.

I'm going with Aguierre... I've wanted an original of that for a while.

CHL.
Love the simple design. Doubled matted in a great frame and you have a winner. Also, love the square shape about it. That can go in any room and doesn't scream movie nerd.

Definitely.

Are you springing for originals or getting reprints? There's a reasonably priced Fitz 27x40 repro poster on ebay right now.

Re: Need some opinions on some movie posters i'm thinking of buying.

Thanks for all the input guys. In the end I decided to go with the Fitzcarraldo poster over Aguirre. And between Butch and Cool Hand Luke. I went with Butch, but threw in a curveball and decided on this poster instead:



In all I got 4 posters. The Butch one above, the Fitzcarraldo poster. And these 2:






I'll post the final result when everything's on the wall!

reprints. I'd love originals, but I don't have the money.
