This is a link to the list of AFI's top 100 Greatest Movie Posters of All Time...

Now, anyone who knows me, knows that I am a really big fan of marketing, and especially movie posters. Most of these are older posters, more classic films, so most of these I haven't seen. However, they do have some of my faves on there. That said, they don't have my favorite, and I'm sure they don't have yours, so heres the question...

What is YOUR favorite movie poster ever made???

I have a few, but here's my favorite right now...


It's from a great Sam Peckinpaw film called Straw Dogs, and this poster kicks ass...That stark black and white...the stare on Hoffman's face...the sheer intensity of the shot is so damn good...

What's your favorite?


All that said, there are a couple of small pieces of news to note...

-The Simpson's cast just signed a four year deal...does anyone still watch this show?
-Thanks to comingsoon for this piece of info....
